Stuck With a Property in the Morgan County Area That Won’t Sell?
If you own a home in Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, Falkville, Somerville, or anywhere in the Morgan County area and need to sell it fast, Yellowhammer Home Buyers is a licensed cash buying company that actively operates in these communities. We’ve purchased over 200 properties across North Alabama since 2021—including properties in small towns where most investors refuse to drive. We know these markets because we work them regularly.
We’re Brandon Hardiman (Licensed Agent #000170383-1) and David Barnett (Licensed Broker #000110591-1 and U.S. Army Veteran). We operate out of Huntsville but buy properties throughout the I-65 corridor and surrounding areas—from Falkville south through Hartselle, across to Priceville, and into Somerville. Our Decatur page covers properties within Decatur city limits; this page is for homeowners in the surrounding smaller cities and rural areas.
Why this page exists: If you’ve searched for “sell my house fast Priceville” or “cash home buyers Hartselle Alabama,” you’ve probably landed on generic statewide sites or companies that couldn’t find your town on a map. We’re different. We’re licensed professionals who have physically driven Highway 31, Highway 67, and I-65 through these communities hundreds of times. We understand the difference between a 1970s brick ranch in Hartselle and a manufactured home on acreage outside Falkville—and we buy both. Wondering what your home is actually worth?

What Sets Us Apart From Other “We Buy Houses” Companies
You’ve probably seen the bandit signs on Highway 31 and the postcards in your mailbox. Here’s how to tell the difference between a legitimate buyer and everyone else. Read our guide to selling by owner in Alabama to understand all your options.
We’re Licensed—Most “Cash Buyers” Aren’t
Brandon holds Alabama Real Estate License #000170383-1 and David holds Broker License #000110591-1. Both brokered by Elevate RE LLC and regulated by the Alabama Real Estate Commission. That means we’re held to professional ethics standards, carry errors and omissions insurance, and can actually help you explore listing if selling to us isn’t your best move. The vast majority of people putting “We Buy Houses” signs on telephone poles in Hartselle and Priceville are unlicensed individuals with zero accountability.
We Know the I-65 Corridor Market
Priceville, Hartselle, and Falkville aren’t suburbs of Decatur—they’re distinct communities with their own housing markets. A 1,500 sq ft brick ranch in Hartselle sells for a different price than the same house in Priceville or Falkville. A home on acreage off Highway 67 appraises differently than one in a Hartselle subdivision. We pull actual sold comps from each specific community when making offers, not generic “Morgan County averages.” That’s why our offers are fair instead of lowball.
Zero Fees, Zero Commissions, Zero Closing Costs
When you sell to us, the number on our offer is the exact check you receive. We pay the title company, recording fees, transfer taxes—everything. In a market where homes in Priceville or Falkville might sell for $120,000-$180,000, paying a 6% agent commission ($7,200-$10,800) plus months of mortgage payments while waiting for a buyer can eat into your equity fast. With us, you keep every dollar of your offer amount.
We Handle Title Problems and Legal Complications
Many properties in the Morgan County area come with complications beyond the physical condition. Inherited properties stuck in probate, homes with unclear title from family transfers, mechanic’s liens, back taxes owed to Morgan County—we’ve navigated all of these situations with local title companies and attorneys. In our recent North Alabama purchase for Shawn, we discovered a minor title issue during due diligence and resolved it without delaying the closing. That’s the advantage of working with experienced, licensed professionals.
We Buy Properties in Any Condition
Roof damage from last year’s storms. HVAC systems that died mid-summer. Foundation cracks from Alabama clay. Fire damage that left parts of the home uninhabitable. Manufactured homes with issues no traditional buyer will finance. We purchase properties in every condition—from cosmetic touch-ups to homes that need $50,000+ in work. You don’t fix a thing. We handle all repairs after closing.
We Close Fast—Or Slow, Your Call
Need to sell in 10 days to avoid foreclosure? We’ve done it. Need 90 days to find your next place? That works too. You pick the closing date, and we work backward from there. No pressure, no artificial deadlines. If you’re dealing with bankruptcy complications, we can coordinate with your attorney on timing to protect your interests.
How It Works—From First Call to Closing Day
Same process whether you’re in a Hartselle subdivision or on a county road outside Falkville. We’ve done this over 200 times across North Alabama:

A Real Home in North Alabama We Purchased
Every deal we do follows the same approach—fair offer, transparent process, and a closing that works for the seller. Here’s a recent example:
Shawn’s Story: Tired Landlord, Clean Exit
The Situation: Shawn was a landlord with a North Alabama rental property that had reached the point of diminishing returns. The HVAC system had failed—a $10,000-$14,000 replacement depending on the system and ductwork condition. On top of that, the property needed additional repair work that had been building up over years of rental use. Between the cost of repairs and the headaches of managing tenants and maintenance, Shawn wanted a straightforward way out.
The Challenge: Selling a property with a dead HVAC system through traditional channels is difficult any time of year, but especially in a North Alabama summer or winter. No traditional buyer will close on a home without functioning heating and cooling, which means either investing $10,000+ before listing or accepting that the home will sit on the market at a steep discount. As a landlord, Shawn also had tenant coordination to manage and didn’t want a drawn-out process.
Our Solution: We made Shawn a fair cash offer that factored in the HVAC replacement and other needed repairs. During our title work, we discovered a minor title issue that could have derailed a traditional closing—we resolved it quickly and still kept the closing on track. We handled everything from the initial paperwork through closing so Shawn didn’t have to manage any part of the process. We closed in under 30 days and worked around Shawn’s schedule so the entire transaction stayed stress-free.
The Result: Shawn walked away with cash, no more landlord responsibilities, and no more property to maintain. The kind of clean, simple transaction we do every month across North Alabama—and exactly what we offer homeowners in Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, Falkville, and the surrounding areas.

Communities We Serve in the Morgan County Area
Our Decatur page covers the city of Decatur. This page covers the surrounding communities—Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, Falkville, Somerville, and the rural areas in between.
Communities where we actively purchase:
Priceville (35603)
Priceville sits just north of Decatur along I-65 and Highway 67, straddling the border of Morgan and Limestone counties. With a population around 3,500, Priceville has grown significantly as a bedroom community for people working in Decatur and Huntsville. Housing stock ranges from 1970s-1980s brick ranches near the town center to newer 2000s-2010s subdivisions along the Highway 67 corridor. Common issues we see: HVAC systems reaching end-of-life in the older homes ($8,000-$14,000 replacement), roofs needing replacement on 1990s construction ($7,000-$15,000), and foundation settlement on the clay soil common throughout the area. Priceville’s proximity to Decatur and I-65 gives it a slightly stronger buyer pool than more rural communities, but homes needing significant work still struggle to sell traditionally.
Hartselle (35640)
Hartselle is the second-largest city in Morgan County with approximately 15,000 residents, located south of Decatur along Highway 31. The city has a charming downtown district and established neighborhoods with homes dating from the 1940s through the 2000s. Hartselle’s housing market is distinct from Decatur’s—median values tend to run slightly lower, and the buyer pool is more local. Older homes near downtown often need complete system overhauls: electrical panel upgrades ($3,000-$6,000), plumbing replacement ($8,000-$18,000), HVAC installation ($10,000-$14,000), and foundation stabilization ($15,000-$40,000). Newer homes in subdivisions off Highway 31 are reaching the age where original HVAC and roofs are failing simultaneously. We purchase Hartselle properties in any condition and any neighborhood.
Trinity (35673)
Trinity is a small town west of Decatur in Morgan County, situated along Highway 31 with a population around 2,000. Housing is predominantly 1960s-1990s construction with a mix of brick ranches, frame homes, and some manufactured housing on private lots. Many Trinity properties sit on larger lots than typical Decatur subdivisions, and some are on septic systems rather than city sewer. The smaller population means a very limited buyer pool for homes needing work—a fixer-upper in Trinity can sit on the market for months without a showing. Common repair needs include aging HVAC systems, outdated kitchens and bathrooms, roof replacement, and foundation issues from Alabama clay soil. We buy Trinity properties regardless of condition, lot size, or whether they’re on city sewer or septic.
Falkville (35622)
Falkville is a small town in northern Morgan County along I-65, about 20 minutes south of Decatur. Population is approximately 1,500, and the surrounding area is predominantly rural and agricultural. Housing stock includes a mix of older downtown homes (1940s-1970s), rural properties on acreage, and manufactured housing. Many Falkville properties have well water and septic systems rather than municipal utilities, which creates financing obstacles for traditional buyers. Properties on county roads outside town can be especially difficult to sell—the buyer pool is extremely small, and lenders are cautious about rural properties with private utilities. We purchase Falkville and surrounding area properties in any condition, including those on septic and well water.
Somerville & Rural Morgan County (35670)
Somerville is the county seat of Morgan County, a small historic town east of Decatur where the county courthouse and government offices are located. The surrounding unincorporated areas throughout Morgan County include hundreds of homes on county roads—properties that are technically outside any city’s jurisdiction. These rural Morgan County homes share common characteristics: larger lots, private septic and well water, limited municipal services, aging housing stock, and a minimal buyer pool. We buy throughout all of Morgan County, not just within city limits. Whether your property is on Highway 36, County Road 55, or a gravel road in between, we’ll drive out to see it.

The Real Obstacles Sellers Face in These Communities
Selling a home in Priceville or Falkville isn’t the same as selling in Huntsville or even Decatur. Here’s what makes these markets tougher—and why our cash purchase solves the problem.
The I-65 Corridor Pricing Gap:
Communities along I-65 between Decatur and Cullman—particularly Falkville and Priceville—sit in a challenging pricing zone. Home values are lower than Huntsville or Decatur, but renovation costs are nearly identical. A $12,000 HVAC replacement costs the same whether the house is in Huntsville or Falkville, but the after-repair value in Falkville might be $40,000-$60,000 less. This math means fewer investors are interested, fewer flippers see profit potential, and properties needing work have fewer viable exit strategies. We account for these local economics in our offers and still make them work.
Simultaneous System Failures in 1980s-1990s Homes:
A wave of homes built during the 1980s-1990s across Hartselle, Priceville, and Trinity are now reaching the age where multiple major systems fail at once. HVAC units installed in 1995 are past their lifespan ($8,000-$14,000 to replace). Roofs from the same era need full replacement ($7,000-$15,000). Water heaters fail. Electrical panels need upgrading. Total renovation cost: $30,000-$50,000. For a homeowner who bought the home 25 years ago, investing that amount may not make financial sense—especially when the home’s current value might only be $140,000-$180,000. We buy these homes as-is and handle all the system replacements after closing.
Manufactured Homes That Can’t Be Financed:
There are hundreds of manufactured and mobile homes throughout Falkville, rural Hartselle, Trinity, and the unincorporated areas of Morgan County. Many were placed on private land decades ago and may not have been titled or taxed properly. Conventional lenders won’t finance manufactured homes that don’t meet specific age, foundation, and HUD requirements—which eliminates most of the buyer pool. We purchase manufactured homes and mobile homes on private land throughout the Morgan County area. We also buy rental portfolios that include mixed property types.
Storm Damage and Deferred Insurance Claims:
North Alabama sees severe weather regularly, and Morgan County is no exception. Homes in Priceville, Hartselle, and surrounding areas sustain roof damage, siding damage, water intrusion, and sometimes structural damage from storms. Some homeowners don’t file insurance claims in time, or the payout doesn’t cover the full repair cost. The result is a home with storm damage that’s getting worse every month but isn’t worth the owner’s investment to fix. We buy storm-damaged properties as-is.
Out-of-State Heirs with Properties They’ve Never Visited:
Families who grew up in Hartselle or Falkville often move to larger cities for work. When a parent passes away and leaves the family home, the heirs are managing a property from Birmingham, Nashville, Atlanta, or farther. The house hasn’t been maintained, the yard is overgrown, the systems are failing, and the heirs don’t have the time or money to renovate from hundreds of miles away. The property may also need to clear Morgan County probate before it can be sold. We buy inherited homes throughout Alabama and handle everything from probate coordination to cleanout to closing—the heirs don’t even need to visit.
Here’s Exactly How We Calculate Your Offer
We’re transparent about our math. No hidden formulas, no bait-and-switch:
[Your Offer] = [ARV] − [Repair Cost] − [Selling Cost] − [Our Profit]
After Repair Value (ARV) — What your home would sell for fully renovated
We use actual sold comps from your specific community. A renovated home in Hartselle sells for a different price than the same home in Priceville, Falkville, or Decatur. We don’t use Zillow estimates or county tax assessments—we pull recent MLS sold data from each specific market. That’s how we ensure our offers reflect what your home is actually worth in your community.
Repair Costs — What it actually costs using our local contractor network
Real numbers from contractors we’ve worked with on 200+ renovations across North Alabama. Typical ranges in the Morgan County area: HVAC replacement ($8,000-$14,000), roof replacement ($7,000-$16,000), foundation repair ($10,000-$40,000), full kitchen remodel ($12,000-$30,000), plumbing overhaul ($8,000-$18,000), electrical update ($3,000-$15,000). Rural properties may cost slightly more due to access and utility configuration.
Selling Costs (~10% of ARV) — Agent commissions, closing costs, holding costs
When we resell the renovated property, we pay agent commissions (6%), buyer’s closing costs (2%), and holding costs during renovation and marketing (2%). Properties in smaller communities like Falkville or Trinity typically take longer to resell than Decatur or Huntsville homes, so our holding costs may run higher in these areas.
Our Profit (~20% of ARV) — Covers the risk we take
This covers repair costs that exceed estimates (common in older homes where hidden problems emerge during renovation), extended resale timelines in smaller markets, our capital investment, and our expertise managing the entire process. We’re upfront about our margin because we believe sellers deserve to understand the full picture.
Example: 1,500 sq ft home in Hartselle needing HVAC and roof:
- ARV (comparable Hartselle sales): $175,000
- Repair costs: $30,000 (HVAC $12k, roof $12k, cosmetic $6k)
- Selling costs: $17,500 (10% of ARV)
- Our profit: $35,000 (20% of ARV)
- Your Cash Offer: $92,500
You receive $92,500 cash with zero repairs, zero fees, and close whenever you choose.
Compare to Traditional Sale: If you spent $30,000 on repairs and sold for $175,000 through an agent: repairs -$30,000, agent commission -$10,500 (6%), closing costs -$3,500, holding costs during 4-6 month repair and sale -$3,500. Net to you: ~$127,500.
You’d net $35,000 more traditionally, but you’d invest $30,000 cash upfront, manage contractors for months, and wait 4-6+ months with no guarantee of a buyer in a smaller market. Our offer gives you certainty today.

We're not a faceless corporation or a call center in another state. We're two licensed professionals based in Huntsville who personally handle every purchase.
Brandon Hardiman
Licensed Real Estate Agent

About Brandon
Before transitioning to real estate, I spent over a decade as an engineer—which means I evaluate every property from a structural and mechanical standpoint, not just a financial one. When I look at a home in Hartselle with a failing HVAC and an aging roof, I can estimate repair costs accurately because I understand the systems involved. That engineering background is why our offers are based on real numbers, not guesswork. I've personally handled over 200 transactions since 2021, and I regularly drive I-65 and Highway 31 through these Morgan County communities to evaluate properties. Whether your home is in a Priceville subdivision or on a county road outside Falkville, I'll be the one walking through it and putting together your offer.
David Barnett
Licensed Real Estate Broker & U.S. Army Veteran
Alabama License #000110591-1
Brokered by Elevate RE LLC
About David
After serving in the U.S. Army, I earned my real estate license in 2014 and have completed over 400 transactions throughout my career. I oversee all renovation work on our purchases, which matters especially in these Morgan County communities where contractor availability can be limited and older homes reveal surprises during demolition. When we buy a home in Hartselle that needs a complete HVAC replacement and roof work, I'm the one coordinating the crews, managing the budget, and ensuring the finished product meets our standards. That hands-on renovation management is why we can make accurate repair estimates upfront—and why sellers get fair offers instead of lowball numbers padded with excessive contingencies.
Why our licenses matter to you: Many "we buy houses" companies are run by unlicensed investors with no accountability. Our licenses mean we're regulated by the Alabama Real Estate Commission, bound by professional ethics, and able to offer you more options—not just a cash purchase. If listing your home makes more sense for your situation, we'll tell you that honestly.
"Great company to work with. They purchased my property as is and closed pretty fast which worked out great for us. Would recommend working with Yellowhammer Home Buyers." —Sergio Aguinaga

Frequently Asked Questions — Morgan County Communities
Do you actually buy houses in Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, and Falkville?
Yes. We actively purchase properties in all of these communities and throughout the broader Morgan County area. We've completed over 200 transactions across North Alabama since 2021, including properties in small towns along the I-65 corridor where most cash buyers don't bother to operate.

How is this page different from your Decatur page?
Our Decatur page covers properties within Decatur city limits. This page is specifically for homeowners in Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, Falkville, Somerville, and the rural areas throughout Morgan County outside of Decatur. If you're not sure which page applies to you, just call us at (256) 795-3014—we buy in all of these areas.
My home has a failed HVAC system. Will you still buy it?
Absolutely. Failed HVAC is one of the most common issues we see in 1980s-1990s homes throughout Hartselle, Priceville, and Trinity. Replacement runs $8,000-$14,000 depending on the system and ductwork—a cost that makes many homeowners decide to sell rather than reinvest. Shawn's property had a dead HVAC system and we bought it as-is with zero issues. We factor repair costs into our offer so you don't spend a dollar.
How fast can you close?
As fast as 7-10 days for urgent situations. Shawn's property closed in under 30 days including resolving a title issue. For standard purchases, 14-21 days is typical. We're also completely flexible—if you need 60 or 90 days, we'll work with your schedule. You control the timeline, not us.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs?
Zero. The amount on our offer is exactly what you receive at closing. We cover all title company fees, recording fees, transfer taxes, and closing costs. No agent commissions, no hidden deductions, no last-minute surprises.
I inherited a property in Hartselle and live out of state. Can you help?
Yes—this is one of our most common scenarios in these communities. We've handled inherited property sales throughout Morgan County, coordinating with probate attorneys and the Morgan County Probate Court in Somerville. You don't need to clean out the property, make repairs, or even visit in person. We manage everything from probate coordination to closing and can often make an offer before probate fully completes.
Are you licensed real estate professionals?
Yes. Brandon Hardiman holds Alabama Real Estate License #000170383-1 (agent) and David Barnett holds License #000110591-1 (broker). Both are brokered by Elevate RE LLC. We're A+ BBB rated with zero complaints, have 50+ verified Google reviews, and are members of the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce.
Do you buy manufactured homes and mobile homes?
Yes. There are hundreds of manufactured homes throughout Falkville, rural Hartselle, Trinity, and unincorporated Morgan County. Many can't be financed conventionally due to age, foundation type, or HUD classification issues. We purchase manufactured homes on private land regardless of age, condition, or title situation. We handle the complexities that make these properties difficult to sell through traditional channels.

About the Morgan County Area
The communities on this page—Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, Falkville, Somerville, and the surrounding rural areas—make up the majority of Morgan County outside the city of Decatur. While Decatur serves as the county's largest city and economic center, much of Morgan County's land area consists of smaller cities, agricultural territory, and residential communities connected by I-65, Highway 31, Highway 67, and a network of county roads.
Quick Facts:
- Morgan County population: ~120,000
- County seat: Somerville (covered on this page)
- Largest city: Decatur (covered on our Decatur page)
- Communities on this page: Priceville, Hartselle, Trinity, Falkville, Somerville
- Median home values: $120,000-$200,000 depending on community, condition, and lot size
- Economy: manufacturing (3M, Nucor Steel, Polaris), agriculture, Decatur/Huntsville commuters
- Key zip codes: 35603 (Priceville), 35640 (Hartselle), 35673 (Trinity), 35622 (Falkville), 35670 (Somerville)
Housing stock across these communities ranges from pre-war farmhouses and 1950s-1970s brick ranches to 1990s-2000s subdivision homes and manufactured housing on private land. Many older homes feature original systems that are at or past end-of-life—HVAC, roofing, plumbing, and electrical that all need replacement within the same window. The I-65 corridor provides connectivity to Decatur and Huntsville, but property values remain lower than those larger cities, creating the pricing gap that makes renovation financially challenging for individual homeowners.
Service Area Note: This page covers Morgan County communities outside Decatur city limits. For properties within Decatur city limits, please see our Decatur page. We also serve Huntsville, Madison, Athens, Florence, and all of our service areas across Alabama.
