Medford, Oregon
We’re Marques and Laura Johnson, and Medford is home — we live here, not in a call center three states away. We’ve rehabbed fourteen houses in this town, from west Medford to the east hills, and we buy directly: cash, as-is, no agents, no repairs, no commissions.
What we buy in Medford
Our work in Medford
Streets we’ve bought and rehabbed here — see the before-and-afters on the projects page.
Most ‘we buy houses’ outfits you’ll find online have never set foot in the Rogue Valley. We can drive you past our work: rehabs on Newtown St, N Columbus Ave, 8th St, Dakota Ave, Jeanette Ave, Summit Ave, Chestnut Ave, W 2nd St, N Ross Ln, W 9th St, Flower Way, Queens Gate Ct — and two separate houses on Union Ave. That’s not a marketing claim; it’s a list of addresses our neighbors live on now.
We know this housing stock because we’ve opened up its walls. The older bungalows near downtown and the rail district, the mid-century ranches east of Crater Lake Ave, the workhorse rentals of west Medford — each comes with its own habits: knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, settling foundations, roofs that have seen too many summers. None of that stops us. Condition is our job, not yours.
An inherited house full of belongings. A rental that’s gone sideways. Back taxes, a looming foreclosure, a divorce where everyone just wants it done. We buy through all of it, without judgment and without pressure. Where attorneys or counselors belong in the picture, we’ll say so — we don’t pretend to be either.
Call or send the form. We’ll do a quick walkthrough — or work from photos if that’s easier — and get you a written cash offer within 24 to 48 hours. If it works for you, we close at a local Jackson County title company on the date you pick. No bank approval to wait on, no inspection renegotiation, no fees out of your pocket.
