Sell Your House As-Is for Cash - No Repairs Required
Does your house need major repairs? Foundation problems? Roof damage? Outdated kitchen and bathrooms? Most buyers walk away from properties that need work, and real estate agents often tell you that you must make repairs before listing.
Buy-Housing.com is different. We buy houses in any condition, no matter how much work they need. You don't repair anything, update anything, or even clean anything. We purchase your property as-is and handle all repairs after closing.
Why As-Is Sales Fail With Traditional Buyers
When you list a house that needs repairs with a real estate agent, you face numerous challenges:
Buyers get cold feet during inspection
Even if a buyer initially shows interest, they often back out after the home inspection reveals problems. Foundation issues, roof damage, or mold can kill deals instantly.
Lenders refuse to finance
Many loan programs (FHA, VA, USDA, and even conventional loans) require properties to meet minimum condition standards. If your house doesn't meet these standards, most buyers can't get financing, dramatically limiting your buyer pool.
Lowball offers with repair contingencies
The few buyers interested in fixer-uppers typically make extremely low offers and demand you make certain repairs before closing. You end up spending thousands on fixes and still selling below market value.
Months on the market
Properties needing work sit unsold for 6-12 months or longer. During this time, you continue paying mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities on a property you want to sell.
Constant price reductions
Every few weeks your agent recommends dropping the price by $5,000 or $10,000 to attract buyers. You end up selling for far less than if you had found the right buyer initially.
Types of Property Conditions We Buy
We purchase houses in literally any condition. Here are examples of properties we buy:
Foundation Problems
Foundation repairs are among the most expensive and scary issues for homeowners. Cracks in walls, uneven floors, doors that won't close properly, and gaps around windows all indicate foundation issues.
Repairing foundation problems can cost $5,000 to $50,000 or more depending on severity. Most homeowners can't afford these repairs, and most buyers won't touch a house with foundation issues.
We buy houses with foundation problems. We have relationships with foundation repair contractors and understand the true cost of fixes. This allows us to make fair offers and handle repairs ourselves after closing.
Roof Damage
A damaged or old roof is a deal-killer for most buyers. Lenders typically won't finance a property with a roof in poor condition, and buyers don't want to spend $10,000 to $25,000 replacing a roof immediately after purchase.
If your roof is leaking, missing shingles, or simply old and worn out, you don't need to replace it before selling to us. We factor roof replacement into our offer and handle it after we own the property.
Fire or Water Damage
Properties damaged by fire or flooding are among the hardest to sell through traditional channels. Insurance might cover some repairs, but homeowners often face high deductibles, and insurance doesn't cover everything. The scope of work can be overwhelming.
We purchase fire-damaged and water-damaged properties. Whether the damage is from a kitchen fire, a burst pipe, or a natural disaster, we can make you a cash offer and take the property off your hands.
Mold and Environmental Issues
Finding mold during inspection is a common deal-killer. Buyers fear health issues and high remediation costs. Even after mold remediation, many buyers remain skeptical and walk away.
We buy houses with mold problems. Our contractors handle proper remediation, and we're not afraid of these issues like typical buyers are.
Structural Issues
Sagging floors, cracked beams, termite damage, and other structural problems terrify buyers and their lenders. These issues require expensive repairs from specialized contractors.
We have experience with structural repairs and can evaluate these properties fairly. We make offers based on the actual cost of bringing the property up to standard, not the inflated fear-based estimates that scare off traditional buyers.
Outdated and Ugly
Sometimes houses don't have major structural problems but are simply very outdated. Shag carpeting from the 1970s, harvest gold appliances, wallpaper in every room, and pink bathrooms don't appeal to modern buyers.
Updating a house to current standards costs $20,000 to $100,000 or more. If you don't have that kind of money or don't want to invest it before selling, we'll buy your outdated house as-is.
Hoarding Situations
Houses filled with belongings, trash, or items accumulated over years present unique challenges. Clearing out a hoarder house costs thousands in labor and disposal fees.
We buy hoarding properties. You don't need to clean anything out. We handle all removal and cleaning after closing, treating the property and situation with respect and discretion.
Condemned or Uninhabitable Properties
If your local government has condemned your property or declared it uninhabitable due to code violations or unsafe conditions, traditional sale is essentially impossible.
We've purchased condemned properties and worked through the process of bringing them up to code. These situations require special expertise, which we have.
How We Evaluate As-Is Properties
When you contact us about selling your house as-is, here's what happens:
Initial conversation
We ask about your property's condition, your situation, and your timeline. This conversation is judgment-free and confidential.
Property walkthrough
We visit the property to assess its condition. This typically takes 20-30 minutes. We look at all the issues you've mentioned and anything else we notice.
Repair cost analysis
Using our relationships with contractors and our experience with similar properties, we calculate the true cost of necessary repairs and updates.
Market value assessment
We research comparable sales in your area to determine what your house would be worth in perfect, updated condition.
Cash offer presentation
We prepare a written offer showing your house's after-repair value, our estimated repair costs, and our offer price. We explain our math clearly so you understand exactly how we arrived at the number.
We Buy All Property Types As-Is
Single-family homes, townhouses, condos, multi-family properties, and even mobile homes. If it's real estate and it needs work, we're interested.
We also purchase properties with title issues, code violations, or legal complications. These problems scare off traditional buyers but we have experience resolving them.
Why Our As-Is Offers Are Fair
Some homeowners assume cash buyers who purchase as-is properties are trying to take advantage. That's not how we operate.
Our offers reflect the property's true market value minus repair costs and our business expenses. We're transparent about these numbers. We show you comparable sales of updated homes in your area and provide detailed repair estimates.
Yes, you could potentially net more money by making all repairs yourself and selling retail. However, consider these factors:
Upfront cash required for repairs that you might not have available.
Time and stress of managing contractors for months while repairs are completed.
Risk of cost overruns when repairs reveal additional problems.
Months of carrying costs while the house is being fixed and then listed for sale.
No guarantee of sale after investing all that money and time.
When you factor in these considerations, selling as-is to a cash buyer often nets you similar money with far less stress and certainty of completion.
As-Is Sale Benefits Beyond the Money
Selling your house as-is to Buy-Housing.com provides numerous benefits beyond the financial transaction:
Immediate stress relief
Stop worrying about that leaking roof, cracked foundation, or overwhelming repair list. Once you accept our offer, those problems become ours.
No difficult decisions
You don't need to decide which repairs to make, which contractors to hire, or how much to spend. We handle all those decisions.
Fast timeline
Close in as little as 7 days and move on with your life rather than spending months managing repairs and then more months waiting for buyers.
Avoid contractor problems
Homeowners frequently get taken advantage of by contractors who do poor work, charge too much, or abandon jobs halfway through. You avoid all of this.
Privacy
No parade of buyers and their agents walking through your home, judging its condition, and making comments about needed repairs.
Common As-Is Selling Scenarios
Inherited property in poor condition
You inherited a house that needs extensive work, but you live in another state and can't manage renovations from afar. Sell it to us as-is and settle the estate quickly.
Divorce property neither party wants to fix
After separating, neither spouse wants to invest in repairs or deal with renovation projects. Sell as-is and divide the proceeds quickly.
Financial hardship
You've fallen behind on mortgage payments and can't afford repairs. Selling as-is gets you out of the situation before foreclosure.
Health issues or aging
Physical limitations or health problems make it impossible to manage home repairs and renovations. Sell as-is and simplify your life.
Overwhelmed by the scope of work
Sometimes the repair list is so long and expensive that you don't even know where to start. Selling as-is is the simple solution.
Buy vs. Repair calculation
You've calculated that putting $40,000 into repairs to sell for $10,000 more doesn't make financial sense. Selling as-is makes more sense mathematically.
