Past Dundalk, the land narrows into a peninsula with water on almost every side: Edgemere, Sparrows Point, Millers Island and Fort Howard. For generations, people here worked at the steel mill on the Point. A lot of their houses have been passed down, and a lot of them have seen a storm or two. I’m Evan Weissman, and I buy houses out here for cash, in whatever condition the years and the weather left them.

If yours is in good shape and could bring more on the market, my Maryland real estate license means I can list it too. Dial or text (410) 498-7473, or send a few details.

Houses on the Peninsula

Most of this area is ZIP 21219, with Fort Howard at the tip in 21052. Neighborhoods line North Point Boulevard, North Point Road, Wise Avenue, Sparrows Point Road and Millers Island Road, with creeks and coves cutting in from every direction: Jones Creek, Shallow Creek, Old Road Bay and Back River. North Point State Park sits on the grounds of the old Bay Shore amusement park.

What I buy here:

Postwar ranchers and Capes, many built for mill workers and still owned by their households
Small bungalows from earlier decades, added onto over time
Waterfront and water-view homes, some raised, some rebuilt, some still original
Summer cottages on Millers Island and the shoreline that became year-round homes
Duplexes and twins closer to Edgemere’s commercial strip

I’ll look at almost any house: single-family, townhome, row, twin, or multi-family, any age, any condition, any situation.

After the Water Comes In

Water on three sides is the whole appeal of living out here, and also the hard part. If your house has taken water from a storm or a high tide, you might be dealing with:

Drywall, flooring or insulation that was soaked and never fully replaced
Mold concerns in a basement or crawl space
A furnace, water heater or electric panel that sat in water
Insurance claims that are open, closed or were never filed
Flood insurance quotes that scare off buyers who need a mortgage

I buy houses in that condition. You don’t have to finish the repairs or settle the insurance question first, though if you have a claim, tell me about it so we can figure out how it fits into the sale. My fire damage page covers the insurance side of a damaged-house sale, and much of it applies to water damage too.

Settling a Sale Out Here

Water and sewer billing. Edgemere and the Point are part of Baltimore County, yet your water bill comes from Baltimore City. The county collects its sewer charge through the property tax bill every July, scaled to the prior year’s metered water. Both get squared away by the title company.

Family houses. Many of these homes have been in one family since the mill days. When the owner has passed, the estate is administered by the Register of Wills, with Baltimore County’s office in Towson. Once there’s an appointed personal representative, I can sign a contract with that person. See selling an inherited house.

Ground rent and old deeds. Older homes here may carry a ground rent or a deed that hasn’t been updated in decades. The title company sorts both out.

Three Ways to Sell Your House

Option 1: A cash offer, water damage included

I buy the house as it is right now. No repairs, no drying out, no showings, and nothing comes out of your proceeds for me as commission or fees. You close at a licensed Maryland title company whenever you’re ready.

Option 2: Listing with me

A rebuilt or well-kept waterfront home can do well on the market. As your agent, I’d market it and negotiate for you, with the commission spelled out in writing. The timeline depends on buyers, insurers and lenders.

Option 3: Renovate and Sell Together

Where it fits, Evan can handle and pay for the updates under a written agreement, then sell on the open market. The cost of that work is repaid at settlement. You keep ownership until the sale. There is no guaranteed sale price or profit. Review any agreement with your own attorney before you sign.

Most houses I buy are rehabbed by me and my crew. Occasionally I partner with another local buyer; if that’s my plan for your house, I’ll let you know up front. The cash offer vs listing page compares everything.

Behind on Mortgage Payments

If you are behind on your mortgage or facing foreclosure, start with free help before you decide anything. A HUD-approved housing counselor costs nothing and can walk you through options with your servicer, such as catching up, a repayment plan, forbearance, or a loan modification. The Maryland HOPE hotline, 1-877-462-7555, connects homeowners with those counselors. If you have court papers or a sale date, I also recommend talking with a Maryland attorney. I can’t promise to stop a foreclosure, and I won’t pressure you. If you and your counselor decide a sale makes sense, I’ll put a cash number next to a listing plan so you can compare. More here: behind on mortgage or facing foreclosure.

My house flooded and I never finished the repairs. Will you buy it?

Yes. Half-finished repairs after water damage are common out here, and my offer reflects where the work stands now.

Do you buy on Millers Island?

Yes, including raised homes, older cottages and houses that have taken water.

I have an open insurance claim on the house. Can I still sell?

Often, yes. Tell me where the claim stands and we’ll work out how it fits with the sale. Your insurer or an attorney can answer the policy questions.

My grandfather bought this house when he worked at the mill. Where do we start?

With a conversation about who owns it now and whether an estate needs to be opened. You don’t have to clean it out or fix anything first.

Do you buy in Fort Howard too?

Yes, all the way out to the end of the peninsula.

Edgemere or Sparrows Point area, loan behind and house needs work. Now what?

Condition does not block counseling or servicer talks. Start there, then read behind on mortgage or facing foreclosure. If you decide to sell, I buy Edgemere houses as-is and fold needed work into the cash number so you are not stuck hiring contractors first.
