ScrollBefore you list
Cleaning, decluttering and staging a home you may already be ready to leave.
Fixes and updates can add cost and time before a property is market-ready.
Scheduling around open houses and viewings while living in the home.
Offers, counter-offers and conditions can take several rounds to settle.
A sale that depends on a buyer's lender can change late in the process.
Listing to closing can run longer than planned, and it's hard to know by how much.
These are things some homeowners run into, not every sale. A traditional listing is the right call for plenty of properties. If it isn't the right fit for yours, there's an alternative worth understanding.
See how a direct sale worksSituations we evaluate
Whatever brought you here, tell us where you are. We'll discuss whether a direct purchase could make sense. Not every property or situation will qualify.
01
A house you didn't plan to own can come with upkeep, taxes and decisions you never asked for, often while you're grieving or living elsewhere.
Our role: we can look at the property as it stands, contents and condition included, and discuss a direct purchase.
02
When a home needs work, preparing it for the market can feel like a second job, and sometimes it isn't realistic at all.
Our role: we evaluate properties as they are, so repairs don't need to be completed before we talk.
03
Landlord fatigue, a difficult tenancy or a lease you can't easily end can make a conventional sale complicated.
Our role: in many cases we can evaluate tenant-occupied properties. Share the lease and tenancy details and we'll discuss what's possible.
04
If you're behind on payments or facing foreclosure, timing matters, and so do your options.
Our role: tell us your timeline and your mortgage situation and we'll discuss whether a direct sale could fit. It isn't right for every situation, and a licensed professional can advise you on your legal and financial options.
05
A shared property can be one of the hardest things to settle during a major life change.
Our role: we can offer a direct, private route to a sale, with timing that's discussed between the parties involved.
06
A move often comes with a deadline, and a house that still has to be sold.
Our role: we can discuss a closing date that fits your move rather than the other way round.
How it works
Requesting an offer is a conversation, not a commitment. You decide at every step.
Share the address and a little context: who you are, why you're considering a sale and what condition the house is in. It takes a couple of minutes.
We review the details, talk with you about the property and, if it's something we can buy, explain our offer and how we arrived at it.
Take the time you need to review the terms. If you choose to go ahead, you'll sign an agreement and we'll agree a closing date together.
Your options
Neither is right for everyone. Here's how they compare.
The trade-off: open-market exposure can produce a higher price for a well-prepared home in a strong market.
The trade-off: a direct offer reflects the property's condition and the convenience of a quick, simple sale. It may be lower than a fully prepared listing could achieve.
The right option depends on your priorities.

What homeowners say
I inherited my mom's house while living two provinces away. Knockout handled everything, and I never had to set foot in the place. Closed in nine days.
We were behind on payments and running out of time. They gave us a fair number quickly and closed before things got worse.
The house needed a new roof, a new furnace, everything. No agent would touch it without repairs first. Knockout bought it as-is, no questions asked.
Where we buy
We buy houses in cities and towns throughout the province. If your property is within our service area, we can typically evaluate it within a day or two of your submission.
Don't see your community? . Coverage is expanding.
You tell us about your property and your situation. We review the details, talk with you about the property and, if it's something we can buy, present an offer. You then decide whether to move forward. Nothing is binding until you choose to sign an agreement.
We look at the property's condition, location, comparable recent sales in your area and any repairs or updates it may need. We're happy to walk you through how we arrived at the number.
No. We buy as-is, including properties with deferred maintenance, fire or water damage, or belongings left behind. You don't need to repair, clean or stage anything.
We don't charge fees or commissions. Any mortgage balance, liens or property taxes owing on the property are paid out of the proceeds at closing, and we'll set out all terms in writing before you decide.
It depends on the property and your circumstances. Because we purchase with cash and there is no lender approval to wait on, closings can be as quick as 7 days when that suits you. We can set a later date if you need time to move.
No. Requesting an offer doesn't commit you to anything. Receiving an offer, accepting it, signing an agreement and closing are separate steps, and you decide at each one.
In many cases, yes. Tell us about the tenancy and the lease when you get in touch and we'll discuss what's possible for your specific situation.
Mortgages, liens and arrears are common. They are typically paid out of the sale proceeds at closing, so we'll need the details to see whether a direct sale works for your situation. A lawyer or financial advisor can help you confirm the figures.
To start, we need the property address, your name, your phone number and the main reason you're considering a sale. A member of our team follows up by phone, typically within one business day, to ask a few questions about the property.
That's fine. Many homeowners start by exploring their options. You can request an offer to compare against a traditional listing without committing to either.
