We Know University Place
University Place sits between Tacoma and the Sound, and most of it was built in one stretch: the ramblers and split-levels of the fifties through the seventies, on quiet streets off Bridgeport Way and Grandview Drive. Those houses are solid, but many are still running on original windows and plumbing, with roofs and electrical panels at or past the end of their service life. Toward the water, from Chambers Bay to Day Island, the view homes are a different market with the same issue: age shows up at inspection. Whichever you own, we buy it as-is. As our own general contractor, we price that work instead of fearing it.
A Fresh Start in Under Two Weeks
A University Place couple called us in the middle of a divorce, and the stress didn’t stop there. Keeping up with the mortgage and the rest of the bills had become a strain, and what they wanted most was a clean break and a fresh start for their family. What they needed was speed, and money in hand to make the move possible.
The house was in rough shape, and there was no time or money to fix any of it. So we bought it exactly as it sat and closed in under two weeks, getting the sale money into their hands as fast as possible so they could move their family. Anything they didn’t have room to take, they left for us to clear out.
They moved their kids into better housing and started over without a single repair, showing, or storage unit.
What University Place’s Market Means for an Older House
University Place is full of well-kept, updated homes, and those are the comparisons buyers make. A house that still needs a roof, a panel, or a full clean-out isn’t judged on its own. It’s judged against the updated house down the street. Buyers using FHA or VA loans, which are common this close to JBLM, can also face lender-required repairs before the loan will fund. That’s where retail sales stall. An as-is offer skips the comparison, the lender, and the repair list entirely.

Questions University Place Sellers Ask
Do you buy ramblers and split-levels that haven’t been updated?
Yes. They’re a big share of what University Place has, and the work they need is familiar to us: original wiring, windows, plumbing, and roofs. We price it as our own general contractor and buy the house as it sits.
Can I leave belongings behind?
Yes. Take what you want and leave the rest. Clearing the house is our job, not yours.
How fast can you close on a University Place house?
We’ve closed here in under two weeks, and elsewhere in as few as five business days. Most sellers choose around 30, and longer is never a problem.
“The process was very seamless, everything was very transparent, Justin communicated very well through the process. Justin also promised that we would close in 30 days and we did close within 30 days. He was professional and kind.”
