Selling a house is fraught with stress and uncertainty. Selling a hoarder house is a daunting project. If you've inherited a hoarder house or are helping out a family member, brace yourself for a difficult sale.

Keep reading this article and we'll alert you to the problems you'll face when trying to sell a hoarder house. And one practical alternative to sell your home quickly and hassle-free.

 It's difficult to market a hoarder house. In the world of online marketing, photographs are the number one way sellers advertise the sale of their home. They help create an important first impression and encourage buyers to call you and schedule an appointment to see your house. Hoarders collect and save items, sometimes even garbage for years making it impractical to show photographs.

Unfortunately, without pictures, your ability to market your home will be greatly restricted. There's a limited pool of potential buyers. Psychosis, social anxiety, and various other disorders make it difficult for a hoarder to repair their home.

Years of neglect and hoarding can cause structural problems, pest infestation and mold, among other issues. Since most traditional buyers look to move into a house that's in the best condition with the least amount of repairs, this limits the pool of potential buyers. The reality is, buyers will be unable to see beyond the hoarding and the daunting task of cleaning out the home, to make an offer on your property.

It's difficult to inspect a hoarder house. A buyer will want to conduct a home and pest inspection to assess your home's true condition and rule out any major issue, with mounds of personal items obstructing access to the home. It's difficult to conduct the inspections required for a buyer to commit to a purchase.
