Yes, you can sell a house with all the stuff still inside. At R&H Distressed Properties, we buy homes just like this all across California, from inherited homes packed with memories to overwhelmed homeowners dealing with years of clutter. If clearing out the property feels impossible or just not worth your time, don’t worry—there’s a way to sell without the hassle.
You don’t need to clean, donate, or throw everything out. Whether it’s boxes, broken furniture, or decades of belongings, we’ll buy the house as-is—stuff and all.
Selling a House Without Clearing It Out
Most real estate agents will tell you to declutter, deep clean, and empty the home before listing. That can take weeks or months, especially if the house is filled wall-to-wall. But if you work with a cash buyer, there’s no need to go through all that effort.
Buyers like R&H Distressed Properties specialize in buying houses that aren’t ready for the open market. You can sell your property fast, skip the cleanup, and leave behind whatever you don’t want to deal with.
Who Buys Houses With Everything Still Inside?
Cash buyers and local investors are your best option. We’re used to properties in all conditions—whether it’s a hoarder house in Southern California or an inherited home in Northern California. Instead of requesting that you clean, we actually prefer you leave it as-is so we can handle it efficiently.
You can leave behind:
- Furniture (even broken or outdated pieces)
- Dishes, clothing, or personal items
- Trash, debris, and clutter
- Items you emotionally can’t deal with
Why Would Someone Sell With Everything Still Inside?
We see it all the time in California. People sell homes with all the stuff inside when:
- A family member passes and leaves a full house behind
- Life changes happen fast—job transfers, illness, or divorce
- The home has been neglected or hoarded
- Clearing it out would cost more time or money than it’s worth
- You’re emotionally attached and don’t want to go through everything
These aren’t rare situations—they’re very common. And selling to a cash buyer who understands that reality can give you peace of mind and a fresh start.
The California Advantage: Skip Cleanup, Sell As-Is, and Move On
California homeowners are often dealing with high costs, long timelines, and a competitive real estate market. If your house is cluttered or in rough shape, it’s going to be difficult to list with a real estate agent without making repairs or removing personal belongings.
Instead of spending thousands on clean-out crews, storage units, or renovations, you can work with a professional house buyer who takes properties as they stand.
At R&H Distressed Properties, we offer a simple path:
- Get a cash offer within 24 hours
- Close in as little as 7 days
- Take what you want, leave what you don’t
- No open houses, showings, or cleaning
We’ve bought properties across California in all kinds of conditions—and we can help you too.
Can I Leave Items Behind in an As-Is Sale?
Absolutely. When you sell a house “as-is,” you’re selling it in its current condition—stuff and all. But communication is key.
Specify What’s Staying
Make sure the purchase agreement includes clear terms on what items are staying in the house. This might include old appliances, boxes, unwanted furniture, and even food or trash. We often walk the home with sellers and have them tag anything they want to keep. The rest? We’ll handle it.
Be Transparent About the Property’s Condition
We don’t need the home to be spotless, but if there are health or safety issues like mold, rodents, or biohazards, it’s helpful to know upfront. That way we can bring in the right team after closing and still stick to your timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a house that’s full of clutter?
Yes, and it’s more common than you might think. While traditional buyers may be turned off by clutter, we buy houses in any condition—including those with stuff inside. Our team understands how to handle cleanouts and can take that stress off your plate.
Do I have to pay for junk removal?
No. If you sell to us, we’ll take care of all the clean-out and haul-away work after closing. You don’t need to spend a dime on junk removal, storage, or cleaning.
Can I still sell if I haven’t gone through everything?
Yes. You don’t need to sort everything first. If there are sentimental items, we recommend tagging what you want to keep. We’ll give you time to grab those before closing—or even after, if needed. Everything else can stay behind.
Can I leave behind furniture, appliances, or trash?
Yes. We’ve seen it all—mattresses, old couches, broken washers, piles of paperwork, even expired food in the fridge. We buy homes as-is, so don’t worry about clearing anything out.
What if I need to sell quickly?
That’s exactly what we do. We can close in as little as 7 days, or on your timeline. You don’t have to clean or organize—just let us know what date works best and we’ll handle the rest.
