We’re Yellowhammer Home Buyers—a local, family-owned company based on Rison Ave NE in Huntsville. We’re not a call center in another state. We’re Brandon and David, and we’ve been buying houses here and across North Alabama since 2021.

We’ve closed over 200 transactions in North Alabama, and between us we’ve done more than 600 deals over our careers. From foundation problems caused by Huntsville’s limestone soil to probate through the Madison County court, we’ve handled it. Learn more about our company.

“Yellowhammer was the best experience that I have had with a home buyer. Very professional and on time. No loop holes to jump through. The staff was exceptional with their kindness. They were fast to return my calls and always had an answer to my questions. Thank you so very much for the way you handled this transaction.” -Serena Adams

We Solve Tough Real Estate Problems
We buy houses in any condition and in almost any situation—foreclosure, probate, divorce, problem rentals, hoarder homes, and houses that need major repairs. Here’s how we help with the most common ones.
Facing Foreclosure?
We can buy your house before the auction at the Madison County Courthouse and pay off the mortgage. We’ve helped dozens of Huntsville homeowners stop foreclosure—the earlier you call, the more options we have. Learn how we stop foreclosure.
Inherited a House?
We’ve handled 30+ probate properties through Madison County Probate Court and can often make an offer before probate is complete. If you live out of state or the house is full of belongings, we handle the cleanout. Learn about selling an inherited home.
Tired of Being a Landlord?
If a rental is costing more than it’s making, we’ll buy it—even with tenants in place. No evictions, no waiting for leases to expire. We’ve bought duplexes, Section 8 rentals, and single-family homes with problem tenants. Learn about selling a rental.
Foundation Issues or Repairs Needed?
Huntsville’s limestone soil causes foundation movement, and traditional buyers walk away from it. We buy houses with foundation, roof, or electrical problems as-is and factor accurate repair costs into our offer—no inflated scare-tactic estimates. Learn about selling a fixer-upper.
Going Through a Divorce?
The marital home is often the biggest asset to divide. We make a fair offer both parties can agree on, work with attorneys on both sides, and close quickly so everyone can move forward. Learn about selling during divorce.
Hoarder House or Cluttered Property?
We buy the property exactly as it sits and handle the complete cleanout after closing, at no cost to you and with no judgment. You don’t have to remove a thing. Learn about selling a hoarder home.
Selling in another North Alabama city?
We also buy houses in Madison, Decatur, Athens, and Florence—see all our service areas.

927 Dewitt Dr SE, Huntsville, AL 35802
Karen lived out of state and needed to move her mother into an assisted living home nearby. When a spot opened up, they had to pay quickly to lock it in—and the only way to do that was to get the equity out of her mother’s house. The home was well kept but dated, and Karen couldn’t manage repairs from a distance or wait for a traditional sale.
We made a cash offer and closed within 2 weeks, so they could put the money down on the assisted living spot. Karen never had to manage a single repair.
“The team at Yellowhammer—Brandon, David, Ronnie and the incredible Tedi—made the very stressful and emotional process of quickly selling my parent’s home smoother and easier than I ever imagined. They have integrity, were very accommodating, and completely honest from my first phone call through and even after the closing.” – Karen Isola

A tree fell on Alan’s house and caused significant damage. The property also needed electrical updates, and Alan wanted a straightforward solution that didn’t involve dealing with repairs or contractors.
We bought the home as-is with a cash offer and even lined up a junk removal crew for the leftover items. We closed in 7 days, and Alan moved on without touching a single repair.
2206 Norris Rd, Huntsville, AL 35810
Angela came to us with her home headed toward foreclosure. She was behind on payments and the house needed plumbing repairs she couldn’t afford, with the auction at the Madison County Courthouse getting close.
We bought the home as-is, handled everything from paperwork to closing, and closed in under 30 days—helping Angela avoid foreclosure and protect her credit. We even arranged a junk removal crew to make her move-out easier.

Yellowhammer is run by Brandon Hardiman and David Barnett—two licensed professionals who live in the Huntsville/Madison area. We’re not a franchise or a call center. When you call, you talk to an owner. When we visit, it’s Brandon or David at your door. And when you close, we’re at the table with you.
Brandon Hardiman – Owner & Licensed Agent
I spent over 10 years as an engineer before real estate, and that problem-solving mindset still drives how I work. For the past 5+ years I’ve helped Huntsville and North Alabama homeowners sell in tough situations—especially when a house needs repairs or life makes a traditional sale hard.
As a licensed agent, I can offer more options than most investors—a cash purchase, a traditional listing, or a hybrid. I grew up in North Alabama and know these neighborhoods personally, from Jones Valley to Five Points to Old Town, along with the local quirks like our limestone-soil foundation problems and Madison County probate.

David Barnett – Owner & Licensed Broker
I’m a U.S. Army veteran and a licensed broker, and I’ve been helping people buy and sell real estate since 2014—more than 400 transactions. In 2017 I did my first fix-and-flip and found my passion for the construction side. I love taking distressed Huntsville properties and turning them into something beautiful.
At Yellowhammer I run the renovation and construction side. When we buy a house with foundation issues, outdated electrical, or major damage, I’m the one evaluating the work and managing it. My military background taught me to follow through—when I say we’ll close on a date, we close on that date, and my offers are based on accurate estimates, not numbers designed to renegotiate later.

How We Calculate Your Cash Offer
Your offer is the home’s after-repair value minus repair costs, selling costs, and our profit. Unlike most cash buyers, we’ll show you the actual math so you know exactly where your number comes from.
[Your Offer] = [ARV] − [Repair Cost] − [Selling Cost] − [Our Profit]
See a real Huntsville example (Jones Valley home)
ARV (After Repair Value): What the home would sell for fully renovated, based on recent comparable sales nearby. For a 1,500 sq ft Jones Valley house with foundation issues, that’s about $230,000 once repaired.
Repair Cost: The actual cost to bring it to retail condition—foundation, HVAC, kitchen, baths, flooring, and paint. On this house, about $75,500, based on real contractor estimates, not inflated guesses.
Selling Cost: Roughly 10% of ARV—agent commission when we resell, closing costs on both ends, and holding costs (taxes, insurance, utilities) while we own it. Here, about $23,000.
Our Profit: Generally 20% of ARV, or 75% of repair costs on heavy projects—whichever is greater, because more repairs mean more risk. On this house, the greater figure is about $56,625.
Your cash offer: about $75,000. Every house is different, and the only way to get an accurate number is to let us see it. Want the full breakdown? Read how we calculate cash offers in Huntsville.
