No listing, no showings, no repairs and no cleaning. You pick the closing date, and a written offer can happen as early as 24 to 48 hours.
Calls are answered any time, day or night. Prefer to text? Send one to the same number.
Three simple steps. No pressure, and no obligation at any point.
Tell me the property address from your letter and a bit about the house. It takes a few minutes.
I look at the property and your situation, then send a fair written offer, often within 24 to 48 hours.
If the offer works for you, we close at a lawyer's office on the date you choose. If not, no hard feelings.
Selling the traditional way isn't the right fit for everyone. Here's what's different.
Use the property address printed on your letter. I'll be in touch during business hours (Mon–Fri, 9–5 Alberta time).

If yours isn't here, just call or text and ask.
I buy houses in Edmonton directly from homeowners and send letters to properties in neighbourhoods I'm interested in. Getting a letter doesn't mean anything is wrong. It's simply an invitation to talk if selling could help you.
I'm Russell Seiler, an Alberta-focused real estate investor. I'm not a realtor. I'm the buyer, so you're dealing with me directly rather than a middleman listing your home.
It's legit. The letter is from Russ Buys Houses, a real Alberta home-buying business run by me, Russell Seiler. I buy houses in Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. You can see the main site at russbuyshouses.ca. I never ask for money, banking details or passwords. If anyone does, it isn't me.
825-475-9777 is the letter line for Russ Buys Houses in Edmonton. If that number contacted you, it was about a letter you got or a message you left about selling a house. You can call or text it back any time.
Call or text 825-475-9777 and say you'd like to stop, along with the address the letter came to. We'll take that address off our mailing list. No questions, no pressure.
Yes. Text 825-475-9777 any time and you'll get a reply. Many people find texting easier, especially for a first question.
Not at all. A call or a written offer doesn't commit you to anything. If the numbers don't work for you, you can simply say no.
We look at the location, the condition of the house, recent sales nearby and what any repairs would cost. Usually a member of our local team comes by for a quick look. They'll introduce themselves and set up a time with you in advance. If it's easier, you can send photos or a short video instead. Every offer is reviewed before it goes to you, and we'll walk you through exactly how we got to the number.
That's fine. I buy as-is. You don't need to repair, clean or empty it, and you can leave behind anything you don't want.
A written offer can happen as early as 24 to 48 hours. Closing is set at a date you choose, whether that's a few weeks out or a few months.
Calls to 825-475-9777 are answered by my assistant any time, including evenings and weekends, so you're never stuck leaving a voicemail. I follow up personally during business hours.
Yes. Your details are only used to talk with you about your property. I never sell or share them.
Call or text any time. It costs nothing to find out what your house could sell for.
