Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?

We are not agents and we don't list houses. We Buy Houses Winnipeg is a professional home buying company. We purchase properties that meet our criteria directly using cash. After purchasing, we may repair and resell the property or retain it as a rental.

How are you different from a real estate agent?

Real estate agents list your property on the MLS and hope for a buyer, which typically takes 4-6 months to sell and costs 3-6% in commission. We Buy Houses Winnipeg is different because we directly purchase your home with cash and can make a decision within days, sometimes the same day. There are zero commissions or fees when you sell to us.

Do you pay fair prices for properties?

Many of the houses we purchase are below market value, as we need room to invest in repairs and renovations for resale. We seek a fair discount on the property. However, many homeowners find that the convenience of a fast cash sale, avoiding repair costs, and eliminating agent fees makes it well worth it.

How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

We evaluate the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Based on these factors, we determine a fair cash offer price.

Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

There are absolutely NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. Unlike listing with a real estate agent where you pay listing fees, we charge nothing. We often cover closing costs as well. We make our profit after we repair and resell the property.

Is there any obligation when I submit my information?

There is absolutely zero obligation. We evaluate your property, may call to learn more about the situation, and present you with a no-obligation all-cash offer. The decision to sell is entirely yours with no pressure whatsoever.

We Buy Houses in Elmwood Winnipeg | Cash Offer As-Is

If you own a home in Elmwood and you’re trying to figure out what to do with it, you’re not alone. Whether it’s an older character home that’s seen better days, a property you inherited, or a rental that’s become more headache than it’s worth — Renz Javing buys houses in Elmwood as-is, for cash, with no repairs required and no real estate commissions. We can close in as little as 7 days.

Elmwood is a neighbourhood we know well. The homes along Midwinter Ave, Brazier Street, and the streets running east toward Transcona have a lot of character — and a lot of years on them. That means a lot of sellers come to us with situations that a traditional listing just isn’t built for.

Why Winnipeg Homeowners in Elmwood Choose a Cash Sale

Elmwood’s housing stock is older — we’re talking 1920s through 1950s construction, brick and wood-frame homes that were built well but haven’t always been maintained. When you try to list one of these properties on the MLS, buyers start asking for repairs, inspectors flag aging systems, and lenders sometimes won’t even finance the deal. A cash sale cuts through all of that.

The neighbourhood sits close to the Red River, which is beautiful — but it also means a lot of Elmwood basements have dealt with water damage over the years. Seepage, foundation cracks, older drainage — these are things that kill traditional sales or drag them on for months. We buy these homes anyway. We’re not looking for move-in ready. We’re looking for a fair deal that works for you.

We also work with landlords who are done dealing with problem properties — tenants who won’t leave, units that need major work, situations where a traditional sale just isn’t realistic.

A Real Example

A woman contacted us after her father passed away and left her a home near Elmwood High School. The house had been a rental for years — the last tenants had left it rough, and there was water in the basement that had gone unaddressed for a long time. She lived out of province, had no interest in managing repairs from a distance, and didn’t want to deal with the back-and-forth of a traditional listing. We made her a cash offer within 48 hours of seeing the property. She accepted, we handled the closing paperwork, and she didn’t have to fly back to Winnipeg once. The whole thing was done in under three weeks.

Step 2: We Make You a Cash Offer. We’ll visit the property and make you a straightforward cash offer, usually within 24–48 hours. No repair conditions, no financing conditions, no lowball games.
