Houses we bought as-is, before and after
Worried your house is too far gone to sell? These Wichita houses had a kitchen fire, boarded-up windows, trash in every room, and a hole in the floor. We bought each one just the way you see it. Most houses we buy aren't nearly this bad; they're here to show that condition is never the reason we say no.
No repairs. No cleanout. Sold as-is.
Bought and renovated by a company with the same owner as Keeper Home Buyers.
Southwest Wichita. Bought as-is.
Worn out, with a hole in the laundry room floor
Stained carpet, a hole in the laundry room floor, and a bathroom with the toilet pulled out. Nothing dramatic, just years of wear. This is what most of the houses we buy look like, and we bought it the way it was.
What we did after closing
- Vinyl plank flooring and fresh paint throughout
- New stainless appliances, including a dishwasher, and a backsplash
- New vanity, toilet, and exhaust fan, and a refinished shower wall
- Repaired the laundry room floor and put in a new back door
- New light fixtures, outlets, blinds, and hardware

South central Wichita. Bought as-is.
A kitchen fire, and smoke in every room
The fire started in the kitchen. By the time it was out, the kitchen and living room ceilings were open to the rafters and there was soot in nearly every room. The seller didn't fix any of it. We bought it with the ceilings down.
What we did after closing
- Replaced joists in the kitchen
- New drywall wherever it was damaged
- Rebuilt the kitchen: cabinets, countertop, backsplash, and new appliances
- Built a new room off the entryway
- New vinyl plank flooring
- Fresh paint, new glass in the broken window, and new outlets, switches, and hardware

Stanley-Aley, south Wichita. Bought as-is.
Boarded up, full of trash, and out of level
Plywood over the windows and doors, trash in every room, and one side of the house sitting 3 to 4 inches low. A house like this can sit empty for years, drawing complaints while the taxes and insurance keep coming due. We bought it that way, trash included.
What we did after closing
- Hauled out the trash and cleaned up the yard
- Leveled the foundation
- Covered the old stucco with new siding and painted it
- Put up a privacy fence and turned the shed back into a garage
- Patched the drywall, painted, and put vinyl plank flooring throughout
- New stainless appliances and a backsplash in the kitchen

Hilltop, Wichita. Bought as-is.
Peeling wallpaper, a rotted wall, and an old roof
Wallpaper coming off the walls in the bathroom and bedrooms, a wall rotting under a window, an old roof and water heater, and trees growing up against the house. We bought it with all of that still to do.
What we did after closing
- Stripped the wallpaper and skim-coated the walls
- New roof and a new water heater
- Vinyl plank flooring and fresh paint throughout
- Refinished the tub and shower wall
- New light fixtures, outlets, switches, and blinds
- Fixed the gutters and cleared the trees and brush off the house
