A Family Business From a Military Family

Memorable Home Buyers is family owned. My dad served in Vietnam, and my brothers and uncles served too. They are part of this business now, and we were raised the same way: tell people the truth and do what you said you would.

Where in Baltimore City We Buy

Most of what we buy is in the four counties around Baltimore. The city neighborhoods we buy in are the ones on the other side of the line from those county streets. In the northeast, that is Hamilton, which runs right up to Parkville, plus Glenham-Belhar between Harford and Belair Roads, Moravia a little further in, and Cedonia on the Rosedale line. In the northwest, it is the western side of Forest Park, just inside the line from Gwynn Oak and Woodlawn.

Outside those neighborhoods we generally do not buy in the city. If your house is somewhere else, we will say so on the first call rather than string you along.

The Five Neighborhoods at a Glance

Figures come from the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey for the blocks that make up each neighborhood. Value is the median for owner-occupied homes.

Hamilton: Porch houses, semi-detached homes, apartments. About 4,440 homes in ZIP 21214. Median value $200,000 to $250,000.
Glenham-Belhar: Cottages, ranchers, brick duplexes. About 2,660 homes in ZIP 21206. Median value $200,000 to $250,000.
Moravia: Semi-detached and detached, around 1950. About 720 homes in ZIP 21214. Median value $186,300.
Cedonia: Mostly group townhouses. About 1,620 homes in ZIP 21206. Median value $121,500 to $163,900.
Forest Park (west side): Older detached houses, apartments. About 2,050 homes in ZIP 21207, 21216. Median value $250,000 to $300,000.

What Changes When the House Is on the City Side

Property taxes are about double

Baltimore City charges $2.248 per $100 of assessed value. Baltimore County charges $1.10. Two houses a block apart can carry very different tax bills, and an empty house on the city side costs noticeably more to hold while you decide what to do.

Vacant building notices must be disclosed

If the city has issued a vacant building notice, the seller has to disclose it in writing before the contract is signed. A lot of retail buyers and their lenders stop there. We buy with the notice open.

Estates go through the city's Register of Wills

Inherited city property runs through the Register of Wills for Baltimore City, not the county office in Towson. We can agree on a price early and close once the personal representative is appointed.

If a foreclosure has started

City foreclosures are filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. A house can still be sold before the foreclosure sale, and any equity above the payoff stays with you. Selling is one option among several. Your loan servicer and a free HUD-approved housing counselor can walk you through the ways to keep the house, and our Maryland foreclosure page explains where a sale fits.

We Buy Houses in Any Condition

You do not have to clean it out, fix it up, or throw anything away. These are real houses we have walked through. We buy them as they sit.

Basement of a Maryland home with an aging water heater, old furnace, exposed ductwork and a damp concrete floor — A damp basement and dated mechanicals. We still buy it.

Unfinished basement with exposed wall framing, sagging insulation overhead and block walls — Exposed framing, sagging insulation. Nothing needs fixing first.

Storage building packed with shelving, bins and household items up to the open rafters — Packed to the rafters. You can leave all of it.

Occupied room with a desk, bookshelves and household belongings still in place — Still furnished. Take what matters, leave the rest.

Living room with moving boxes, pillows and stacked belongings covering the floor — Boxes and belongings everywhere. You do not have to clear them.

Room mid-move with a paint-marked table, storage boxes and items left out — Mid-move and nothing put away. That is normal for us.

If your house looks like any of these, it is exactly what we buy.

Who You Would Be Working With in Baltimore City

Malachi Cooper

Founder, Memorable Home Buyers

I live in Parkville, and my family works in this business with me. When you call, you reach us directly, and I am the one who walks the house and gives you the number. Your information does not get sold to a list of investors who all start calling you.

"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."

D. Williams, Baltimore County

"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."

T. Jackson, Prince George's County

"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."

Our Promise to You

What You Can Hold Us To When You Sell

We are a family business in Parkville, and we buy houses in the same counties where we live and shop. If we treat a seller badly, we will hear about it from people we know. These are the four things we promise on every house.

The number holds

The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough shows something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.

A contract you can read

Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family or an attorney, and ask us about any line before you sign.

You pick the date

Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we cannot make it, we say so then, before you have committed to anything.

The truth, even if we lose the deal

If your house would sell for more with an agent, we will tell you. Some people do not need a cash buyer, and we would rather you hear that from us.

Baltimore City FAQ

No. We buy in the neighborhoods along the county line listed on this page: Hamilton, Glenham-Belhar, Moravia, Cedonia and the western side of Forest Park. Outside those, we generally are not the right buyer, and we will tell you that on the first call instead of wasting your time.

No. No agent commissions, no closing costs and no fees of any kind. The cash offer we give you is what you walk away with, minus anything owed to your lender.

Yes. Baltimore City Code requires a seller to disclose in writing, before the contract is signed, whether the house has a vacant building notice and whether it has been cleared. We buy houses with an open notice as they stand.

The Circuit Court for Baltimore City. A house can be sold up until the foreclosure sale. If you want to keep it, call your loan servicer and a free HUD-approved housing counselor first, and talk to an attorney about the case itself.

Estates for Baltimore City property go through the Register of Wills for Baltimore City. Once a personal representative is appointed, they can usually sign the sale. We can agree on a price before that and wait. For legal questions, talk to a probate attorney.

Usually within 30 days when the title is clear. With an estate or a payoff that takes time to sort out, we set the date around it.
