We can usually offer based on Council Bluffs comparable sales, exterior assessment, county tax records, and a brief description. If interior access is impossible, we apply additional condition discount to cover the unknown. We'd rather close than be perfectly accurate on price — if interior is much worse than expected, that's our risk to absorb post-close.

We work with both the hoarder themselves (sometimes) and adult children with power of attorney or health care directives in Iowa. Capacity issues complicate transactions — if the owner can't competently sign, we need POA or guardianship documentation. We approach these situations with extra care and have referred social workers and elder care attorneys to families before closings.
