Yes — completely as-is. We've bought Whatcom County, Washington homes packed floor-to-ceiling, biohazard situations, and decades of accumulated belongings.

We can usually offer based on Whatcom County comparable sales, exterior assessment, county tax records, and a brief description. If interior access is impossible, we apply additional condition discount to cover the unknown. We'd rather close than be perfectly accurate on price — if interior is much worse than expected, that's our risk to absorb post-close.

Specialized cleanup is part of our process. The condition affects offer price, but doesn't stop the close. Your situation isn't too bad for us; we've seen and handled worse.

We approach these situations with extra care and have referred social workers and elder care attorneys to families before closings.
