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.

Nineteen in Twenty Ashburton Homes Are Owner-Occupied
The Census blocks that make up Ashburton hold about 1,400 homes. Of the roughly 1,380 that are occupied, about 1,310 are lived in by the owner. Almost none sit empty. About two thirds are detached houses and most of the rest are semi-detached, with only a handful of apartments.
Neighborhoods like that change hands slowly. When an Ashburton house does come up, the reason is usually personal: the owner has died, has moved in with family or to assisted living, or simply cannot keep up a house this size anymore. The householder is 65 or older in about 31 percent of owner-occupied homes.
Built on the Gittings Farm in the 1920s
Ashburton was the name of the Gittings family's estate, a farm in Northwest Baltimore. In 1920 the family sold 120 acres to the developer George R. Morris. By January 1924, 270 lots had sold, and most of the houses were up by 1928. Today the neighborhood sits near Liberty Heights Avenue and Hilton Street, less than two miles from the county line, and its mail goes to ZIP 21215.
The Census numbers match that history. More than half the homes were built before 1940, and nearly all of them before 1960. Streets like Copley Road, Grantley Road, Cedardale Road, Dennlyn Road, Lynchester Road and Egerton Road are lined with big houses on large lawns, many under slate roofs and shaded by mature trees.

Keeping Up a Hundred-Year-Old House
- The roof
- Slate can last a very long time, but the flashing, gutters and broken pieces need someone who knows slate, and those roofers charge for it.
- The walls and wiring
- Plaster cracks as a house settles. Behind it, a house from the 1920s may still have some of its original wiring alongside whatever was added later.
- The heat and the pipes
- Older boilers, radiators and supply lines can fail without much warning, and a buyer's inspector will note the age of each one.
- The tax bill
- The city tax rate is $2.248 per $100 of assessed value, roughly double the county rate. On a house nobody is living in, that adds up month after month.
When the house passes to the children, probate happens at the Register of Wills for Baltimore City. When a mortgage falls behind, the case is filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. A sale is one way to settle it, and the Maryland foreclosure guide explains the other ways, starting with your servicer and a free HUD-approved housing counselor.

Who You Would Be Working With in Ashburton
Malachi Cooper

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."

Two Ways to Sell an Estate House
Say the family lists a $240,000 Ashburton house. First comes the cleanout, then the repairs a retail buyer will expect, then months on the market. City property tax on a house assessed near that price runs about $5,400 a year, so roughly $450 for every month it sits. At closing, a six percent commission takes about $14,400, and any repairs the buyer's inspector turns up become another negotiation.
Selling to us skips the cleanout, the repairs and the showings. A well-kept house and a family with time will probably do better listing, and we will say that. When the house needs work and nobody can manage it, the two paths usually end up closer than people expect.
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.
