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.
Malachi Cooper, founder
North of Liberty Heights, East of Howard Park
Dorchester is a Northwest Baltimore neighborhood about a mile inside the county line. Liberty Heights Avenue forms its southern edge, across from Central Forest Park. Garrison Boulevard runs along the east side, Howard Park lies to the west, and Oakford and Eldorado Avenues close it off to the north toward Arlington.
Inside those lines are streets like Chatham Road, Granada Avenue, Belle Avenue, Barrington Road, Carsdale Avenue and Berwyn Avenue. Garrison Middle School is on Barrington Road and Forest Park High School is on Eldorado Avenue. Buses on Liberty Heights Avenue run to the Mondawmin Metro station.
Pre-War Houses, Many of Them Sharing a Wall
The Census blocks covering Dorchester hold about 980 homes. Two thirds were built before 1940. About 430 are detached and about 360 are semi-detached or row houses, with the rest in small apartment buildings. About two thirds of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. Households are big for the city: a little over three people per home in much of the neighborhood, against a citywide average of about two.
Owning half of a semi-detached house means some things are not entirely yours to decide. The roofline, the gutters and the wall between you and next door are shared in practice, even when the deed is not. A retail buyer looks at your side and the neighbor's side together. If the other half is rough, your half gets priced down with it, and some buyers just keep driving. We buy your side on its own merits, with no need to wait on the neighbor.

It takes about two minutes and there is nothing to sign.
The Houses Nobody Has Decided About Yet
The latest Census estimate counts about 120 empty homes here, roughly one in eight. About a quarter were listed for sale, and none were listed for rent. The largest group falls in the Census category for homes that are empty for some other reason. In a neighborhood like this, that is often a house tied up in an estate, or one an owner left for family or care and has not made a decision about.
Waiting costs money in the city. Property tax runs $2.248 per $100 of assessed value. And if Baltimore City issues a vacant building notice, the seller must disclose it in writing before signing a contract, which narrows the list of buyers willing to go forward.
Inherited houses here are probated at the Register of Wills for Baltimore City. Foreclosure cases are heard in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, and the Maryland foreclosure guide explains your options there, from talking to your servicer and a free HUD-approved housing counselor to selling before the sale date.

Who You Would Be Working With in Dorchester
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."
"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."
"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."

What a Year of Waiting Costs
Take a Dorchester house assessed at $230,000. City property tax alone comes to about $5,170 a year. Add insurance, which is harder to keep on a house nobody lives in, plus utilities, lawn care and whatever breaks over a winter with no one there to notice.
Sometimes a year of waiting is fine, especially if the family plans to move someone in or fix the house up. If nobody has a plan for it, find out what it is worth as it stands today and decide with real numbers in hand.
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.
