Cash Home Buyers in Portland, ME
We’ll make you a guaranteed cash offer within 24 hours.
No listing. No repairs.
Maine people, Greater Portland roots
Our founder, Naz Henderson, is a Maine native and a University of Southern Maine graduate. We're based in Windham, about a half hour from downtown Portland, and we work all over Cumberland County.
No repairs, no showings
Older Portland homes often come with a long to-do list. You don't have to tackle any of it. We buy as-is, and you don't pay agent commissions.
A date that fits your life
Our average deal closes in 28 days. Need to wait for a new job to start, a lease to end or the school year to finish? You pick the closing date.
Selling a house in Portland without listing it
Portland is a strong market, and for a lot of homes, listing with an agent is the right call. But not every house, and not every owner, is ready for that. Maybe the house hasn't been updated in thirty years. Maybe you live out of state and can't be here for showings and inspections. Maybe you just want it done, quietly, on a date you choose. That's who we help.
Running Brook Home Solutions buys houses directly from owners across the city: Munjoy Hill and the East End, the West End, Back Cove, Bayside, Parkside, Libbytown, Rosemont, Stroudwater, Deering Center, North Deering, East Deering and Riverton. We also buy in the towns around Portland, including South Portland, Westbrook, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, Gorham, Cumberland, Yarmouth, Gray and Windham.
We buy single-family homes, condos, multi-family properties and land. Many of Portland's homes are older, with original wiring, aging heating systems, slate or tired roofs, and wet basements. We look at all of that and still make you a cash offer for the house as it is. We're not real estate agents and we don't list your house. We buy it ourselves.
How it works
Reach out
Call (207) 387-9552, email admin@runningbrookrei.com, or fill out the short form with the address and a few details. If you're out of state, that's fine. Most of this can happen by phone and email.
We'll make you a guaranteed cash offer within 24 hours
Send us photos or a video of the house and we'll put a no-obligation cash offer in front of you. We see the house in person only after we have a written agreement. We'll explain your options in plain English and answer every question.
Close and move on
We close at a local Maine title company on the date you choose. Our average deal closes in 28 days. No repairs, no agent commissions, no open houses, and we cover your closing costs.
Common reasons Portland owners call us
You live out of state
Owning a Portland house from far away means paying someone to check on it, mow it, plow it and keep the heat on. We managed one Portland sale entirely remotely for an owner who couldn't make it back to Maine.
You inherited a house
Probate for Cumberland County runs through the Probate Court in Portland. Whether you're the personal representative or one of several heirs, we can work with your attorney and set the closing date around the court process.
The house needs more work than it's worth to you
A roof, a furnace, an old oil tank, a foundation crack, or damage after a storm. In nearby Gray, we bought a house after weather damage made it too costly for the owner to repair and sell the traditional way.
You're a landlord who's ready to be done
Portland rentals come with tenant turnover, rules and maintenance on old buildings. We've helped a landlord in Brunswick sell a rental property quickly with minimal paperwork, and we buy rentals even with tenants still living there.
You're behind on payments
Foreclosure in Maine goes through the courts, and the state's Foreclosure Diversion Program offers mediation for homeowners. Please talk with a housing counselor or an attorney about your options. If selling makes sense, we can move quickly and work around your situation.
Divorce, downsizing or a move
When life changes, a fast and private sale can take one big thing off your plate. We work around your moving date.

What sellers say about us on Google
Questions Portland sellers ask us
It depends on the house and on you. If your home is in great shape and you have time for showings and inspections, listing may be the better fit. A cash sale makes more sense when the house needs work, you live far away, or you want a set closing date without the uncertainty of a buyer's financing. We're happy to talk it through honestly, even if the answer is that listing is better for you.
