Who We Help
Repairs Needed
Roof, foundation, old systems, or just dated? Skip the repair bills and sell the house the way it is.
Relocation
New job, military orders or moving closer to family. Sell on your schedule without carrying two homes.
Divorce or Separation
A simple, private sale can make dividing assets one less thing to fight over.
Tired Landlords
Done with tenants and repairs? We're landlords too. We can buy rentals, including occupied ones.
Behind on Payments
If you're worried about foreclosure, talk to us early. Selling before it goes further may leave you more options. (We also suggest speaking with your lender or a housing counselor.)

Cash Sale vs. Listing: An Honest Comparison
| Sell to Canuck Investments | List with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs & cleanup | None needed: we buy as-is | Often needed to attract buyers |
| Showings | None | Open houses and showings |
| Commission | None | Typically a percentage of the sale price |
| Financing risk | Cash: no buyer mortgage approval | Buyer's loan can delay or fall through |
| Price | A fair as-is cash price | Often higher, if the house is market-ready and you can wait |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to make repairs or clean out the house first?
No. We buy houses as-is. You don't need to repair, update, stage or deep-clean. Tell us about the condition up front and we'll factor it into the offer.
Will I pay a real estate commission?
No. When you sell directly to Canuck Investments there is no listing agent, so there's no real estate commission to pay. We'll explain any closing costs, and who pays them, in writing with your offer.
How quickly can you close?
A cash purchase doesn't wait on a buyer's mortgage approval, so the timeline is mostly set by the title search and the closing attorney or title company. We'll agree on a closing date that works for you, whether that's soon or a few months out.
Is there any obligation if I ask for an offer?
None. Asking for an offer is free and confidential. If the number doesn't work for you, you simply say no.
Where do you buy houses?
Bangor, Brewer, Orono and other Penobscot County communities. If your property is nearby but outside those towns, ask anyway.
Is Canuck Investments a real estate agent?
No. Canuck Investments LLC is the buyer, buying for its own account. We don't represent you, and you're welcome to have your own real estate agent or attorney review any offer. Canuck Investments is owned by Philip Henry. Stephanie Henry, Philip's wife, is a licensed Maine real estate associate broker with NextHome Experience in Bangor; see the licensee disclosure on this page.
Can you guarantee an offer or a closing date?
No. Every offer depends on the property, its title and condition, and the usual closing requirements. What we can promise is a straight answer and no pressure.
Should I just list with an agent instead?
Sometimes that's the better choice. If your house is in good shape and you have time, listing on the open market may get a higher price. A direct sale makes the most sense when speed, condition, or simplicity matter more. We're happy to talk through both options honestly. Our guide Cash Offer vs. Listing With an Agent walks through the trade-offs.
Licensee Disclosure
Canuck Investments LLC buys real estate as a principal, for its own account. When we make an offer on your property we are the buyer. We are not acting as your real estate agent, we do not represent you, and no real estate brokerage commission is charged to you on a direct sale to us.
Canuck Investments LLC is owned by Philip Henry. His wife, Stephanie Henry, is a licensed Maine real estate associate broker affiliated with NextHome Experience, 57 Washington Street, Bangor, Maine. Stephanie is not an owner of Canuck Investments LLC and is not acting as an agent for either party in our purchases. Because of this family relationship, any written offer to purchase that we make will disclose it.
You are encouraged to talk with your own real estate agent, attorney or financial advisor before accepting any offer. This website is not an offer to buy any particular property.
