About Launch Homebuyers?

For years the only option for most house sellers has been to list their property on the market, try to sell it yourself, or hold on to it hoping the problem will go away. Launch Homebuyers saw the gap in the local market for all of the property owners who don’t want to (or can’t) sell through the traditional route with an agent.

We provide win-win solutions to help homeowners get out of their sticky situations, including foreclosure, owning a burdensome property, probate, or anything else. Our focus is on providing you with a solution to your situation so you can continue to do the things you love.

We are a real estate solutions company. We’re a family-owned business with a focus on helping homeowners like you find solutions to any problem. Whether you’re going through a foreclosure, can’t sell your property, or just need to sell your house fast, Launch Homebuyers can help.
