CENTRAL ALBERTA · CASH OFFERS · QUICK CLOSE
We buy houses in Central Alberta — for cash, as-is, on your timeline.
JFK Surfaces buys distressed, inherited, or hard-to-sell residential properties across Red Deer and Central Alberta. No realtor commissions. No repairs required. Close in 14–30 days — or take longer if you need to.
WHY SELL TO JFK SURFACES
The cash offer path makes sense when speed and certainty matter more than maximum dollar.
Selling on the open market through a realtor typically nets you the highest dollar — but it also requires the property to show well, takes months, costs 5–7% in commissions, and comes with negotiation, condition removal, financing risk, and uncertainty. Selling to a cash buyer like us gives up some dollar in exchange for speed, certainty, and zero hassle.
When it makes sense to sell to us
- • You need to close quickly (under 30–60 days)
- • The home has significant condition issues
- • You can’t afford or don’t want to fund renovations
- • You inherited a property and don’t want to manage it
- • You’re going through divorce, financial pressure, or a life event requiring speed
- • You own a rental property and want OUT
- • A flip didn’t pan out and you need to exit
- • You value certainty over maximum dollar return
When the open market might be better
- • You have 6–12 months of timeline flexibility
- • The home is in good condition with no major issues
- • You’re willing to prep, stage, and show the home
- • You can wait for the right buyer at the right price
- • You don’t mind the realtor commission cost
- • You want maximum possible dollar regardless of timeline
We’ll tell you honestly if the open market is a better path for your situation — we’d rather point you to a realtor than lock you into a deal that doesn’t serve you.
HOW IT WORKS
Simple, fast, transparent.
Tell us about the property
Call, text, or fill out the form below. We just need the address, a sense of the condition, and what your timeline looks like.
We come look
We visit the property within a few days. 30-60 minutes. We walk through it, take notes, and ask questions. No high-pressure pitch, no manufactured urgency.
We give you a written offer
Within 24-48 hours of the visit, we send a written cash offer. No fine print. No hidden conditions. Take a few days to think about it.
You decide
If the offer doesn't work for you, no hard feelings. If it does, we move to paperwork. Your lawyer handles the closing.
Close on your timeline
We can close in as fast as 14 days, or take 60-90+ if you need more time. We work to YOUR schedule, not ours.
Walk away with cash
Funds wired to your lawyer's trust account at closing. No realtor commissions taken out. You get your money and move on.
WHO WE ARE
Not a wholesaler. Not a flipper-scam. A real contractor.
Most “we buy houses” companies are wholesalers — they get your property under contract for a low price, then flip the contract to an end buyer for more. You end up dealing with strangers and often discovering your sale isn’t what you thought it was.
JFK Surfaces is different. We’re a registered Alberta contracting business operated by Fabien Joseph Quesnel. We’ve been in business since 2014 (originally in Chilliwack, BC; relocated to Innisfail in 2018). We buy properties for our own renovation projects — we’re the actual end buyer. We renovate the property and either resell it or hold it as a rental.
You can verify us through our Google Business Profile (5.0 stars, 33+ reviews), BBB Alberta, and our full company information page.

FAQ
Common questions from sellers.
How quickly can you close?
Often within 14–30 days from offer accepted. We're cash buyers — no waiting on mortgage financing, no waiting on conditions. Faster closings are possible when the situation requires it.
Do I need to fix anything before selling?
No. We buy as-is. No repairs, cleaning, or staging required. Whether the house is in great shape or seriously distressed, we'll look at it.
How is your offer calculated?
After-renovation value (what the property would sell for fully fixed up) minus our renovation costs, minus holding and selling costs, minus our margin. Typically 70–85% of after-renovation value depending on work required.
Do I pay realtor commissions?
No. Selling directly to us saves the 5–7% commission. You also avoid most seller closing costs. Your lawyer handles the legal work — typically a few hundred dollars.
What if I change my mind?
No obligation. The written offer is good for a stated period. If you decide not to accept, no hard feelings, no pressure.
Can I take some belongings and leave the rest?
Yes. Many of our sellers (especially with inherited or distressed properties) leave behind items they don't want. We handle disposal.
What if there's still a mortgage on the property?
Standard situation. Your lawyer handles the mortgage payoff at closing — the funds come out of the sale proceeds before you receive net proceeds. Works the same way as any sale.
Will you flip my contract to another buyer?
No. We're a real contractor and the actual end buyer. The property comes into our portfolio. We renovate and either sell or hold it ourselves.
