The fix-it list
The leaky thing. The creaky thing. The thing you've been ignoring.
Hi from Des Moines
I might want your house. Seriously.
Hey, I'm Chris. I buy houses around Des Moines — nice ones, fixer-uppers, and everything in between. I might buy yours. If not, let's figure out what makes sense.
Chris goes here.
[Authentic photo of Chris to come]
Real guy. Local houses.
The Chris in the name
Real person. A few ways to help.
I'm a licensed Realtor and real estate investor in the Des Moines area. That means I can look at your house as a potential buyer, or talk with you about selling it another way.
Different situations call for different approaches. My role and the trade-offs should be clear from the start.

A little more about ChrisEvery house has a story
Got a house? Let's talk.
A few familiar starting points. Yours doesn't have to fit neatly into a box.
An inherited house
Not sure where to start? We can talk through the property and your options.
A rental property
Ready to hand over the keys — and the landlord duties?
Outdated or full of stuff
The wallpaper had a good run. The garage has a lot going on. Both are worth a conversation.
A different chapter
Downsizing or moving somewhere new? Let's talk about what comes next.
Perfectly good. Or just curious.
Nothing has to be wrong. And you don't need a moving truck booked.
Local knowledge
A Des Moines-area Realtor and investor, with a local view of your property.
More than one option
A direct offer, another investor, or a listing — with different costs and outcomes.
Personal communication
You talk with Chris. Not a call center, not a handoff.
A flexible conversation
Let's discuss timing, condition, and the approach that fits your needs.
What real clients have to say
[Genuine client feedback to come, with permission. No made-up reviews.]
A house, a situation, an outcome

One conversation at a time
Here's how it works.
- 01
Tell me about your house.
Fill out the short form or get in touch. Messy details welcome.
- 02
I'll take a look.
We'll talk about the property and your situation. If it makes sense, we'll arrange a visit.
- 03
We'll figure out your options.
I may make an offer, connect you with another buyer, or discuss listing traditionally.
The paths have different fees, services, timelines, and potential outcomes. We'll discuss the trade-offs before you decide.
Compare the selling optionsWill you actually buy my house?
Maybe. It depends on the property, location, and numbers. If it's not a fit for me, we can talk about another investor or a traditional listing.
Do I need to make repairs or clean anything?
Not before we talk or I take a look. For a direct purchase, we can discuss buying as-is. If listing makes more sense, we'll weigh whether any prep is worth the cost.
What if I don't want to sell right away?
That's fine. Tell me the timeline you're thinking about, even if you're just exploring. Any eventual closing date depends on the buyer, paperwork, and agreement.
What if listing my house would make more sense?
Then let's talk about listing. As a licensed Realtor, I can discuss marketing, showings, and negotiation. Listing fees, timing, and potential proceeds differ from a direct sale or an investor connection.
Your house. Your call.
So... should we talk about your house?
Worst case, we have a conversation. Best case, we figure something out.
