Get Your Fair As-Is Offer
Why It’s Called Jay Primrose
Jay and Primrose are my twins’ middle names. They’re the reason I went out on my own — I wanted to build something that let me be present for my family instead of missing it.
That’s who you’re dealing with when you call us. Not a national franchise. Not a call center reading a script. A Pierce County family business — my wife designs our renovations and our builds, and I’ve worked with the same local crews for years, some for over a decade. When we make you a promise, our name is on it. Literally.
Three Steps. No Games.
1. Tell us about the house
Call or fill out the form. Five minutes on the phone is usually all we need to understand the property and your situation.
2. Walk it with Justin
We’ll meet you at the property, look it over together, and answer every question you have. You’ll have a firm written offer within 24–48 hours — often the same day.
3. Pick your closing date
Need out fast? We’ve closed in five business days. Need time? Most of our sellers choose around 30 days, and we’ll work around whatever your situation requires. We pay all closing costs.
How We Can Pay a Fair Price for a House As-Is
Most “we buy houses” companies make their money one way: by offering you as little as possible. We’re built differently.
Jay Primrose Properties is our own general contractor. My wife designs our renovation and construction projects, and our crews — many of whom we’ve worked with for over ten years — do the work at contractor cost, not retail cost. That’s where our margin comes from: the work we do after we buy, not from squeezing the price we pay you.
It’s also why we can buy your house exactly as it sits. Roof problems, foundation issues, forty years of belongings — that’s a normal Tuesday for us. You don’t repair anything, you don’t clean anything, and you take what you want and leave the rest.
And because we buy with our own funding — no banks, no financing contingency — an offer from us doesn’t fall apart three weeks in the way retail sales do.
Whatever the Situation, We’ve Probably Seen It
Inherited a house / probate — We’ll work at the pace the legal process allows.
Behind on payments or facing foreclosure — Acting early protects your equity.
Tired of being a landlord — Done with repairs, turnovers, and chasing rent? Sell and be done.
A house full of stuff — Take what you want. Leave the rest to us.
Divorce or separation — One clean sale, handled discreetly.
Relocating or moving to family — We’ll match closing to your move date.
Major repairs you can’t take on — We buy as-is, every time.
Vacant or problem property — Stop paying for a house that’s costing you.
What Sellers Say About Working With Justin
“I met Justin on March 19 and was moved into my new home on April 29! … Justin kept me informed each step of the way for him to purchase my home of 47 years. He made my life less stressful throughout the process from beginning to end. He even took over the repairs of two significant problems in my home.”
Mervina S.
“My parents were selling their first home and didn’t know anything about the process. They needed a quick sale as they were moving out of state. … Justin and his team kept all their promises. They were flexible and accommodating to my parents’ unique situation.”
Liliya D.
“I got in touch with Justin Baker through his letter advertisement. I’m glad I didn’t throw it away like most considered junk mail. It is the best decision we made to work with Justin. He made it so easy for us to sell our house.”

Questions Sellers Ask Us
How fast can I really get an offer?
After a quick walk-through of the property, you’ll have a firm written offer within 24–48 hours — often the same day. If your situation is urgent, say so when you call — we’ll move as fast as you need.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
None. No agent commissions, no service fees, and we pay all closing costs. You won’t find any hidden fees with us.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take the things you want and leave everything else — furniture, tools, boxes, all of it. Clearing houses is part of what we do.
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at what the house would be worth in today’s market, its condition, and what it will take to bring it there. Because we do that work ourselves at contractor cost, we don’t need to lowball you to make our numbers work. Justin will walk you through the offer in plain English and answer anything you ask.
What if I need more time, not less?
Your timeline is the timeline. We’ve closed in five business days and we’ve waited months for probate, moves, and family situations to resolve. Speed is an option, never a requirement.
Are you actually local?
Yes — we’re a Pierce County family company. Justin and his family live in Puyallup, and we’ve been buying here since 2014. You’ll meet Justin at your property, not a representative from a national chain.
