We buy houses for cash in Lincoln, Waverly, Hickman, Bennet and across Lancaster County — any condition, on your timeline.
Need to sell a house fast in Lincoln? River Capital buys homes directly for cash. In Nebraska we act as a principal buyer — not a wholesaler or broker — so you're dealing with the actual buyer, and we can close as-is without the repairs, showings, or commissions a traditional sale requires.
From the Near South and Havelock to University Place, College View and out to Waverly and Hickman, we buy houses in any condition — including homes with back taxes, inherited or probate situations, storm damage, or deferred maintenance nobody wants to take on. We'll explain how we reach our offer and be honest about whether selling to us or listing makes more sense for you. No fees, no pressure.
Tell us about the property. A no-obligation cash offer takes about a minute to request.
We help Lincoln homeowners in the situations that make a traditional sale hard: foreclosure, delinquent property taxes, inherited or probate homes, liens and title problems, hail or fire damage, and worn-out rentals. Because we buy directly, we can structure a clean, simple sale and clear many of those issues at closing.
Common situations we help with: Foreclosure · Probate & Inherited · Back Taxes · Liens & Title · Major Repairs · Divorce & Relocation · Partial Interests
Want to understand the local process first? Our Lancaster County guide explains how foreclosure, property tax sales, and probate work in Nebraska before you decide — including the two different foreclosure tracks and Nebraska's three-year tax-sale redemption period.
No. Nebraska law requires a real estate license to publicly market an equitable interest in property, so in Nebraska we operate strictly as a principal/direct buyer or a referral source. We purchase the home ourselves and do not wholesale or assign contracts here — which means a simpler, more direct transaction for you.
Yes. We buy homes in their current condition — including dated, damaged, or distressed properties — so there are no repairs, cleaning, or staging on your end.
Most closings take as little as 14 days once title work and paperwork are done, since we pay cash and don't wait on bank financing. If you need longer, you choose the closing date that works for your situation.
Usually not, but Nebraska is less forgiving than some neighboring states. Most Nebraska home loans are deeds of trust, which can be foreclosed without a lawsuit in roughly six months, and there is generally no redemption period after the trustee's sale. Selling before that sale date is what protects your equity, so it's worth finding out exactly where you stand early. Our Lancaster County guide walks through the timeline.
Tell us about the property and we'll give you a fair, no-obligation cash offer — and an honest take on whether it's your best move.
