Who We Are & Why We Do This
Hey, we’re Derek, Lee & Braydon, the family behind YDL Homes. Since you’re here, chances are you’re probably asking, "Can I really trust them to buy my house?"
We get it - selling a house - especially when you are facing difficult circumstances - can be overwhelming, stressful and uncertain. The last thing you want is a long, stressful, drawn out process or to deal with people who don’t care about your unique situation. That’s exactly why we started YDL Homes - to give homeowners a simple, fair, fast, and stress-free way to sell their homes, no matter the condition or situation.
We’re not real estate agents, we’re real estate investors but more importantly, we’re real people who treat every homeowner with honesty, compassion, and respect. We’re here to listen first and then find a solution to help you.
To us, you are not just a transaction, you are someone with a story and we are here to help you move onto your next stage with ease.

- No commissions. No fees. No surprises - what we offer is what you get
- We buy as-is – No repairs, you don’t need to fix anything - not even clean.
- We make fair, transparent, cash offers – no lowballs or games, just a fair, honest offer.
- We work on your timeline – Need to close in 7 - 14 days? Need more time? We’ll make it work for you.
Check out what these sellers had to say about their experience with YDL Homes
Inherited Wreck
Sam O.
Derek bought my Dad’s house from me after he passed with all the stuff in it that Dad had hoarded over the years, and in the condition it was in after the crackheads trashed it. What a relief to get it sold without having to clear it out myself - I was actually nervous to even go in the house cos of what I might find!
Health Issues
Jodi P.
When I was diagnosed, we had a lot of challenges to move out but they (YDL) helped us with a dumpster cos there was a lot of stuff we needed to get rid of. We even stayed in our camper in the driveway for a few days after we moved out after we closed. They took away a lot of stress.
Probate + Foreclosure
Karrie F.
My probate was complicated cos it was Mom's house. The whole process was frustrating 'cos the back porch was over the boundary, but they (YDL) helped us get everything sorted out and even bought the land next door. We got what we needed to stop the foreclosure.
The YDL Homes Story
We started YDL Homes on the simple belief: Selling your house shouldn’t be hard. It should be honest, respectful and as stress-free as possible.
We set out to build a family business that helps other families, especially those facing difficult situations like divorce, foreclosure, major repairs, inherited homes, or unexpected life changes.
After seeing too many homeowners overwhelmed by the selling process, costly repairs, impersonal transactions and high agent commissions, we knew there had to be a better way. So we became direct cash home buyers giving you a way to sell your home without the headaches of listing it, making repairs, hosting showings, or waiting for the right buyer to (hopefully) come along.
Since then, we’ve helped countless homeowners sell their houses quickly, as-is, and on their terms - with no pressure, no hidden fees, and no waiting around.
This isn’t just our business - it’s our family’s mission.
