Selling your house can be a nightmare if you’re dealing with repairs, financial issues, tenants, or time pressure. At Shepherd Home Buyers, we specialize in helping Maryland homeowners like you sell fast, as-is, and for cash — no commissions, no fees, and no stress.
This blog answers the most common (and painful) questions homeowners ask when they’re ready to sell but feel stuck.
❓ Why Is Selling a House So Complicated?
Selling a home isn’t just about finding a buyer — it’s about clearing hurdles. Whether you’re:
- Behind on mortgage payments
- Stuck with a property in probate
- Managing a rental with bad tenants
- Facing code violations
- Or just need to relocate quickly
The traditional process can feel impossible. Shepherd Home Buyers offers a simpler path. We buy houses in any condition across Maryland — fast and fairly. No agent fees or waiting months. No stress.
Q1: I’m Behind on My Mortgage — Can I Still Sell My House?
Yes, you can absolutely sell, even if you’re in pre-foreclosure or months behind on payments.
Banks don’t want your house — they want to be paid. Selling quickly to a local cash buyer can help you avoid foreclosure, protect your credit, and move forward with dignity.
- ✅ We can close in as little as 7 days
- ✅ We handle all paperwork with your lender
- ✅ You don’t need to catch up on payments
Q2: My House Needs Repairs. Can I Sell It As-Is?
Absolutely. We buy houses as-is — no inspections, no appraisals, no repairs. Whether it’s:
- A leaky roof
- Foundation cracks
- Old plumbing or HVAC
- Fire/water damage
You can skip the costly repairs and let us take care of it.
Q3: I Inherited a House — What Are My Options?
Dealing with an inherited house is emotionally and legally complex. If it’s in probate, or shared between family members, things can get even more tangled.
At Shepherd Home Buyers:
- ✅ We buy inherited homes with or without probate
- ✅ We work directly with your estate attorney
- ✅ You don’t need to clean or fix anything
Q4: I’m Relocating for Work. How Do I Sell Fast?
Relocations happen fast — job offers, family emergencies, or downsizing often give little time to prepare. A traditional sale takes 45–90 days.
With us:
- ✅ You skip showings and inspections
- ✅ Get a firm cash offer in 24-48 hours
- ✅ Pick your closing date
Q5: I Can’t Afford Realtor Fees. What Are My Options?
A traditional home sale comes with:
- ~6% agent commission
- 1–3% closing costs
- Repairs, staging, and inspection surprises
With Shepherd Home Buyers:
- ✅ You pay $0 in fees
- ✅ We pay all closing costs
- ✅ Our offer is the amount you walk away with

Q6: I Have Tenants — Can I Still Sell?
Yes. We specialize in buying rental properties — even with tenants who:
- Are behind on rent
- Have lease violations
- Refuse to leave
We handle the legal side and never pressure you or the tenants.
Q7: My Property Has Liens and Code Violations. Can You Help?
Yes, and you’re not alone. Many homes in Baltimore, Glen Burnie, and other MD areas have:
- Tax liens
- City fines
- Unpermitted additions
- Open code violations
We buy homes with title problems, utility liens, and more. We work with attorneys to get the deal done.

Yes — we buy condemned, fire-damaged, and vacant houses all over Maryland.
We handle:
- City paperwork
- Cleanup
- Legal issues
