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
Frame Houses From the Early 1900s
Garwyn Oaks is a compact rectangle in Northwest Baltimore. Woodhaven Avenue runs along the north side, Gwynns Falls Parkway the south, Garrison Boulevard the east and Chelsea Terrace the west. The land was once part of the Mount Alto estate. Its streets, among them Allendale Road, Roslyn Avenue, Elsinore Avenue, Carlisle Avenue and Piedmont Avenue, sit roughly 1.6 miles in from the county line, all on ZIP 21216.
Many of the houses are wood-frame single-family homes and shingle-style rows built in the early 1900s. In the Census blocks covering most of the neighborhood, about half of all homes date from before 1940.
Wood ages differently from brick. Siding and trim need paint on a schedule, porches rot from the bottom up, and a hundred-year-old frame can hide water damage for a long time before it shows. Owners who have kept up with it for decades eventually reach a point where the next round is more than they want to take on.
Owners in the Houses, Renters in the Flats
Those same blocks count about 810 homes, and they split in an unusual way. Roughly 300 are in buildings of two to four units, which in a neighborhood this age often means a big house divided into flats. Another 160 or so sit in larger apartment buildings. Detached houses number about 240.
Nearly every detached house is lived in by its owner, and Census estimates put roughly two in three of those owner households under someone 65 or older. Most of the renters live in the multi-unit buildings. So a Garwyn Oaks sale usually starts with one of two people: a longtime owner, or the family of one, deciding about the house; or a small landlord with a two- or three-unit building who has had enough.

Behind on Payments? Free Counseling Is on Garrison Boulevard
The Garwyn Oaks Northwest Housing Resource Center at 2300 Garrison Boulevard is a HUD-certified housing counseling agency. Among its services is foreclosure prevention counseling, and the counseling is free. If a mortgage on your house has fallen behind, that office and your loan servicer are good first calls, before you talk to any buyer, including us. For legal advice on the case, which the Circuit Court for Baltimore City would hear, see an attorney.
A sale is just one possible outcome. If it is the one that fits, we can close before the foreclosure sale, and whatever equity is left over the payoff goes to you. Our Maryland foreclosure guide lays out the rest.

Who You Would Be Working With in Garwyn Oaks
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."

A Two-Unit House When One Side Is Empty
Where rent is reported in these blocks, the median is about $1,040 a month. Lose one unit for four months while you find the money to fix it and find a new tenant, and that is more than $4,000 gone. City property tax on the whole building keeps running at $2.248 per $100 of assessed value, along with insurance and any utilities you pay.
Listing a tenant-occupied building usually means a smaller pool of buyers and a lot of showings to schedule around the people living there. We buy it with the tenants in place and the leases moving over at closing. If both units are full and paying, you may do better holding it, and we will tell you if that is how it looks.
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.
