How it works in three simple steps

1. Reach out

Send us the address through the form or call us. We’ll ask about the house and about you: what’s going on and when you’d like to be done.

2. Get your offer

We’ll take a look at the property and the recent sales around it, and usually have a cash offer to you within 24 hours. No obligation.

3. Pick your closing date

Close in as little as 7 days, or later if you need time. A title company handles the closing and you’re paid when it’s done.

Who we help in North Idaho

Kootenai County has a lot of people who own a house here but live somewhere else, plus a lot of people moving here or moving on. We help people who are:

• Selling from out of state. Inherited Mom’s house in Post Falls but live in Seattle or Arizona? Many sellers sign without flying back. More on selling an inherited house.
• Settling an estate. We can buy the house with the furniture and belongings still in it, and work around the probate timeline.
• Behind on payments. A fast sale may let you pay off the loan before a foreclosure sale and keep your remaining equity. More on selling before foreclosure.
• Divorcing or separating. One fair price, one closing date, and nothing to fix or stage while you’re both moving on. More on selling during a divorce.
• Done being a landlord. A long-term rental in Rathdrum, or a short-term rental that isn’t penciling out anymore. We buy with tenants in place. More on selling a rental with tenants.
• Dealing with a house that needs work. Roof, septic, well, foundation, water damage, or decades of deferred maintenance. We buy it as-is. More on selling a house that needs repairs.
• Relocating. New job, closer to the grandkids, or heading somewhere warmer for good. We close when it suits you. More on selling when you’re relocating.

Want to stay a while after the sale? Ask about a rent-back: you stay in the house after closing and pay rent until you’re ready to go.

Lake homes, cabins, manufactured homes and land

North Idaho isn’t all subdivisions, and we don’t only buy standard houses. We also buy lake and waterfront homes, cabins, manufactured homes on their own land, and land, anywhere in North Idaho. If it’s an odd property that’s hard to compare, call us and talk it through.

Selling to us vs. listing with a Coeur d’Alene agent

If your house is updated and you have time, listing with a good local agent may get you a higher price. If speed, certainty or the condition of the house matter more, a cash sale may fit better. Here’s the honest comparison:

We won’t pretend a cash offer is always the most money. It’s the simplest and most certain path, and you’re welcome to compare it with a listing before you decide.

Areas we buy in Kootenai County

In Coeur d’Alene we buy in every neighborhood, from Midtown, the Fort Grounds, Sanders Beach and the Garden District to Coeur d’Alene Place, Riverstone and the north end.

The Coeur d’Alene market right now

Through September 2026, 1,975 site-built homes on less than 2 acres sold in Kootenai County this year, at a median price of $569,900, and homes spent about 80 days on the market (Coeur d’Alene Regional REALTORS, year to date through September 2026). If you’d rather not wait through months of showings, or the house needs work first, a cash offer gives you a firm number and a date.

We’ve been buying houses since 2019, with over 500 deals so far. When you call about your Kootenai County property, you’ll be talking with our local team.

★★★★★

“I cannot say enough good things about Backyard Home Buyers! I’d been living in a house that had become overwhelming with the items needing to be fixed and taken care of. I felt like I was at a dead end and had no options for what to do. After meeting with Backyard Home Buyers I actually saw light at the end of my tunnel! My old house is no longer an issue I have to deal with and I am so happy for the experience. They listened to my concerns, offered a fair asking price, and had excellent communication in every step of the way.”

Coeur d’Alene home selling FAQs

Do you buy houses in Idaho, or just Washington?

Both. We buy throughout Kootenai County and North Idaho, as well as in Spokane County and the Tri-Cities in Washington.

Is selling a house in Idaho different from Washington?

A few things are. Idaho has its own seller property disclosure law, with some exemptions, and some closing paperwork differs between the two states. Confirm with your title company or attorney what applies to your sale.

Will my sale price show up in public records?

Idaho is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices generally aren’t listed on the public deed the way they are in some states. Confirm with your title company or attorney if this matters to you.

I don’t live in Idaho anymore. Can I still sell my Coeur d’Alene house?

Yes. Many out-of-state sellers sign with a mobile notary or a title office near where they live, so they don’t have to travel. Your title company will set it up.

Do you buy lake homes, cabins or land in North Idaho?

Yes. We buy lake and waterfront homes, cabins, manufactured homes on their own land, and land anywhere in North Idaho.

Can you buy a house that’s going through probate in Kootenai County?

Often, yes. The timing depends on where the estate is in the court process and who has authority to sell. Confirm with your title company or attorney, and we’ll plan the closing around it.

How quickly can you close?

In as little as 7 days if the title is clear. If you need a few weeks or months to move, we’ll set the date around you.

Do you charge any fees?

No fees and no commissions. We pay the closing costs.
