Sell My House Fast in Longmont — Here’s Who You’d Actually Be Calling

Type “sell my house fast Longmont” into Google and most of what comes back is national lead companies. You fill out their form, they sell your information to whichever investor pays for it, and strangers start calling. That’s not us.

Boulder Home Buyers is owned by Dave Janis — a local Longmont resident who’s lived and worked in Boulder County for 20 years, buying and fixing houses right here where he lives. Our office is at 2700 Canyon Blvd in Boulder, 20 minutes down the Diagonal — but home is Longmont. When you call (303) 442-0505, you get a real local person — not a call center, not a script. Our track record is public: 4.9 stars across about 90 Google reviews between our two profiles — Boulder Home Buyers and Janis Properties.

Dave started this business because he watched families get burned by cash buyers who lowballed, retraded at the closing table, or simply disappeared — and figured there had to be a better way to be the buyer. Some houses and some situations just don’t fit the list-it-and-wait model. An inherited ranch with 50 years of belongings still inside. A rental you own from three states away that the last tenants left rough. A house with mold in the basement, mice in the walls, or fire damage nobody wants to touch. A failing septic system. A spot that opened up at a retirement community faster than anyone planned — where the house doesn’t need work at all, it’s just dated, and there’s no time to deal with listing it. For those owners — and for the families sorting out a loved one’s house — a straightforward as-is cash sale is the easier path, and our motto is get it done and keep it easy.

And here’s our promise: if our offer isn’t right for you, we’ll tell you what is — even if that means listing with an agent. After almost 20 years in this business, Dave’s real skill is diagnosing the situation and laying out the solution that actually works — whether he’s part of it or not. He got into this business to help people, and that hasn’t changed.

Before & After: Houses Like Yours

Anyone can say they buy houses. We’d rather show you. This one is on Bowen St, right here in Longmont.

Every photo on this page is a house we actually bought, with our own money, and fixed with our own crews. Take what you want and leave the rest — we’ll handle the cleanout after closing.

How It Works

1. Tell us about the house

Fill out the short form or call (303) 442-0505. You’ll talk with a real local person, not a script — no pressure. We’ll ask a few questions about the house and your timeline, and if it’s a fit, we’ll set up a time to come see it.

2. Get a fair written offer within 24 hours

After the walkthrough we run the numbers — repairs, comps, what it’s worth fixed up — and hand you a written offer, usually within 24 hours of seeing the house, with the math attached. And it’s usually not one take-it-or-leave-it number: based on your situation, Dave lays out the options you actually have, and you decide on your own which one works best for you and your family. No obligation, no pressure to decide on the spot.

3. Pick your closing date

Close in as little as 3 days if you need speed, or take whatever time you need — most of the sellers we work with land on a date three to six weeks out, and a few have asked for months so they could line up their next place. No fees, no commissions, and we pay standard closing costs. The date is yours to pick, and we build our schedule around it.

How We Get to Our Number

Here’s the part most “we buy houses” pages won’t explain: what a fair cash offer actually is. Our offer is close to retail — for what your house would sell for in its current condition. We start there, then subtract the real estate commission you’re not paying and what a retail buyer would come back asking for after their inspection. That’s the number.

What it’s not is the price of the fixed-up house down the street. And if that house hasn’t gone under contract, that number isn’t even what it’s selling for — it’s a list price, what someone is asking. Comparing your as-is house to a renovated listing is how sellers end up disappointed by every offer they get, from anyone.

So instead of hand-waving, we show you the math. We walk you through what your house would sell for as it sits, what the commission and inspection concessions would have taken out of that, and how we got to our number — line by line — so you can compare it against listing. Whatever number is on our written offer is the number you walk away with, less anything you still owe on the house — no fees come out of it. We are direct buyers with our own funds — no banks, no mortgage approval, and we will never list your home for sale.

One of our sellers had five offers on her house — ours was the only one that came in writing, with a complete packet of comps at the first meeting. That written offer with the comps attached is the standard, every time.

The Longmont Market Right Now — June 2026

Before you decide how to sell, it helps to know what you’re selling into. Here’s Longmont as of June 2026, straight from the MLS:

• Median sale price: $623,000
• Median days on market: 43 — up from 39 three years ago
• Homes on the market: 417 — up 57% from June 2023
• Months of supply: 3.4
• The typical sale closes at 98.6% of the original asking price

Longmont sellers still do better than most of the county — 98.6% of ask is a stronger close than Boulder manages. But with half again as many homes on the market as three years ago, buyers have choices, and the houses that need work are the ones they walk past first. Those are exactly the houses we buy. If your place is updated and ready to show, listing may well net you more — and we’ll tell you so. If it isn’t, our offer skips the repairs, the showings, and the 43-day wait.

Source: IRES MLS, June 2026, all home types. We refresh these numbers quarterly.

Here’s what that means in plain terms: if your house is updated, staged, and you can wait two or three months from listing to closing, listing with an agent will probably net you the most money. We’ll tell you that straight. Compare listing vs. selling to us here — and if you don’t have the time, or the house needs more work than you want to take on, that’s exactly what we’re for.

We Know Longmont’s Houses — Because We Work On Houses Like Them

A lot of Longmont’s housing stock went up in the 1960s and 70s, when the FAA center and the IBM campus brought thousands of families to town — Longmont’s population nearly quadrupled between 1960 and 1980. The ranches and split-levels built for that boom in Southmoor Park, Melody Valley, and Longmont Estates are now 50 to 65 years old — many still with their original owners, and many carrying decades of deferred maintenance. In Old Town, the historic homes east and west of Main Street are older still, many dating to the late 1800s. Homes of this era often need electrical, plumbing, sewer-line, and roof updates before a retail buyer’s lender is happy — exactly the kind of work sellers don’t want to fund before a sale.

We buy those houses as-is. Old roof, peeling paint, full of stuff — doesn’t matter. We’ve seen most of it.

And plenty of Longmont houses don’t need anything at all — they’re solid, clean, and simply original inside. A kitchen from 1987 isn’t a problem for us; it’s a Tuesday. If the timing is what’s forcing the sale — a retirement-community spot that finally opened, a fast move — the house being “dated” is no reason to spend a month with contractors before you can sell.

We also buy Longmont’s small multifamily — duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, which Old Town and the near-east side have plenty of — and rentals with tenants in place. And newer Longmont too: from Prospect New Town to the subdivisions on the east side, we buy newer homes as well — usually when the situation, not the condition, is the reason to sell fast.

Flood History? Send Us the Address — We’ll Tell You Straight

The 2013 St. Vrain flood was the most devastating in Longmont’s history — St. Vrain Creek ran at more than three times the 100-year flood level, and hundreds of properties were affected, especially in western neighborhoods like The Greens, Champion Greens, Golden Ponds Estates, and the Valley subdivisions.

Twelve years on, the picture is more hopeful than most people realize. The city’s Resilient St. Vrain project is rebuilding the river channel and is designed to move more than 800 acres and 525 structures out of the mapped floodplain. Some homes that were floodplain-burdened in 2014 no longer are.

What that means for you: whether your house has flood scars, sits near the creek, or has just been remapped, send us the address and we’ll tell you straight what we see. We’ve bought flood-affected properties, and floodplain status is a line item in our math — not a reason to hang up on you.

Situations we help with all the time: a rental you’re tired of managing — especially from out of state, and tenants can stay in place, an inherited house with a lifetime of belongings still inside, houses with mice, mold, or fire damage, a move to a retirement or assisted-living community on short notice — even when the house needs nothing and is simply dated, a vacant house, falling behind on the mortgage or facing foreclosure, tax liens, divorce, or simply not wanting to fund repairs and commissions. Whatever your situation looks like, start there — not with the price. Tell us what’s actually going on, and we’ll help you sort out the options.

Farms, Acreage, Lots — and the Septic Question

Longmont isn’t just subdivisions. It’s surrounded by unincorporated Boulder and Weld County — the farmhouses around Hygiene, the acreage between Niwot and the Diagonal, the properties out by Gunbarrel — and we buy out there too: farms, ranchettes, acreage, bare lots, and rural houses on well and septic.

Rural properties come with a wrinkle city sellers never face: Boulder County’s SepticSmart program requires a septic inspection and Property Transfer Certificate before most sales close, and if the system fails, replacement can run $50,000 or more. Plenty of owners find that out and feel stuck. You’re not. Two things to know:

• We buy properties with failing or non-compliant septic systems as-is. The condition of the system gets factored into our written offer — you see exactly how, and you don’t fix anything.
• If the property is headed for demolition and rebuild, Boulder County exempts the transfer from the septic inspection requirement entirely. That’s a real, county-documented advantage of selling to a builder. (County rules change — we’ll confirm current requirements for your specific property.)

That teardown path isn’t theoretical for us: our sister company, Janis Development, builds new homes on lots exactly like these — which means we can often pay for the land value other buyers can’t see.

We don’t typically buy mountain properties. Plains and foothills-edge, yes; up the canyons, usually not — and we’ll tell you quickly either way.

Questions Longmont Sellers Ask Us

Are “we buy houses” companies in Longmont legit?

Some cash home buyers in Longmont are legit; some aren’t. Here’s how to check any buyer, including us: look for real Google reviews under real names, an actual local office, proof of funds, and a written offer. We’re a Boulder County family business — our office is at 2700 Canyon Blvd in Boulder, and Dave lives right here in Longmont — owned by a licensed Colorado broker and rated 4.9 stars across about 90 Google reviews between our two profiles — Boulder Home Buyers and Janis Properties. Every offer we make is in writing, with the comps attached. If a buyer won’t put it in writing, walk away.

How much will you pay for my Longmont house?

Close to retail for what the house would sell for in its current condition — minus the real estate commission you’re not paying, and minus what a retail buyer would ask for after inspection. We show you that math line by line. The comparison that trips sellers up is the renovated house down the street: if it’s not under contract, that’s a list price, not a sale price — and it’s a different house than yours. What you get from us is certainty: no repairs, no fees, no showings, and a closing date you pick. And if listing with an agent would net you more and your timeline allows it, we’ll say so.

How fast can you buy my house in Longmont?

In as little as 3 days, because we buy with our own funds — no banks, no appraisals, no mortgage contingency. Very few sellers actually want it that fast, though — three to six weeks is typical, and if you need a few months to find your next place, that works too. You pick the closing date.

Do I have to make repairs or clean out the house first?

No — and this comes up constantly with inherited Longmont ranches that have 50 years of belongings in them. The house sells as-is: old roof, unfinished projects, garage full of stuff. Keep what matters to you and leave everything else; the cleanout happens after closing, on our dime. That includes houses that wouldn’t pass a conventional buyer’s inspection — mold, mice, fire damage included.

What if the house is on a well or a failing septic system?

We buy it as-is. Boulder County’s SepticSmart rules require a septic inspection before most sales in the county, and a failed system can cost $50,000 or more to replace — a bill a lot of rural Longmont, Hygiene, and Niwot owners would rather not fund. Sell to us and the septic is our problem after closing, not yours. If the property is headed for a rebuild, the county exempts the transfer from the inspection requirement altogether.

Do you buy rentals with tenants in place — or duplexes and fourplexes?

Yes to both. If you own a rental, occupied or vacant, we buy with renters in place — no need to end a lease or wait out a tenancy before you sell; the lease and deposits transfer at closing and we take it from there. And we buy Longmont’s small multifamily too: duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. That’s a big part of the housing around Old Town and the near-east side, and most cash buyers won’t touch tenant-occupied property. We do it all the time.

Do you buy farms, acreage, and vacant lots around Longmont?

Yes — farms, ranchettes, acreage, and lots in and around Longmont, Hygiene, Niwot, Gunbarrel, and unincorporated Boulder and Weld County. Through Janis Development we also buy teardowns and building lots, so we can often value land that house-only buyers can’t. We don’t typically buy mountain properties.

What parts of Longmont do you buy in?

All of it — zip codes 80501, 80503, and 80504 (and if your mail comes to a PO box in 80502, that’s you too), from Old Town and Southmoor Park to Longmont Estates and out east. Longmont spans Boulder County and reaches into Weld County on its east side, and we buy on both sides of that line. We also buy in the surrounding communities of Hygiene, Niwot, Gunbarrel, the Lyons-adjacent plains, and our home turf of Boulder, Lafayette, and Louisville. Send us the address and we’ll tell you straight what we see.

Boulder Home Buyers is not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice — for questions about county regulations, floodplain status, or title, we’re glad to point you to the right professional.
