Sell a house that needs repairs
Getting a house ready for the market means paying for the work first and hoping the market pays you back later. Contractors, permits, delays, and a listing that cannot go live until it is all finished. Selling as-is skips that entirely — we price the repairs into the offer and take them on ourselves.
- Roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC — the expensive things are the ones we expect to find.
- Fire damage, water damage, and mold are not disqualifying. Bring any insurance paperwork you have.
- Open code violations or unpermitted work become our problem after closing.
- A renovation that stalled halfway is fine. So is a house nobody has touched in thirty years.
- No inspection contingency hanging over you, and no repair credits negotiated out of your proceeds.
You do not need to fix anything, clean anything, or apologize for the condition. Send the address as it is today.

Step 1 of 2: The property
Condition is not the deciding factor
We buy properties in every state on this list. It changes the number, not whether we are interested.
- Outdated but livable
- Major repairs needed
- Fire damage
- Water damage or mold
- Vacant or boarded up
- Tenant occupied
- Full of belongings
- Code violations
- Unpermitted work
- Half-finished renovation
- Deferred maintenance
- Structural problems
Three steps, no surprises
Selling directly should be simpler than listing, not just faster. Here is the whole thing.
- 01
Tell us about your property
Send the address and a few details. It takes about two minutes, and we do the research on our end rather than handing you homework.
- 02
Receive your offer
We look at the property, then give you a real number in writing along with the math behind it. Not a range, and not a number that changes later.
- 03
Choose your closing date
If you accept, you pick the day. Need weeks to move out? Take them. Need to be done sooner? We can work with that.
Questions about selling a house that needs repairs
How bad is too bad?
We have not found a condition that makes a property automatically not worth looking at. Condition changes the number, not whether we are willing to talk. Describe it honestly and we will price it honestly.
Will you lower the offer after you see the house?
No. Once we have seen the property and given you a number in writing, that is the number we close at. Coming back later with a reduction after a seller has already made plans is a tactic we will not use.
Do I need to fix anything before you look at it?
Nothing. Repairs done right before a sale rarely return what they cost, and anything you fix is work we were going to redo anyway.
What if the house has an open permit or a code violation?
Tell us about it up front so it is in the offer rather than a surprise later. We buy properties with open citations regularly and resolve them after closing.
