Needs Repairs

What happens when you skip the repairs

There is a quiet trap in selling a house that needs work. An agent tells you it would show better with a new roof, fresh paint and an updated kitchen, and they are not wrong. What that advice assumes is that you have thirty thousand dollars and six months — which is very often the exact reason you were selling.

You do not have to solve the house before you sell it. No roof, no furnace, no paint, no cleaning, no staging. The condition becomes ours the moment we close.

Why fixing it first rarely leaves you better off

Here is the arithmetic sellers rarely run. You spend $30,000 fixing the house. If the work is done well and the market cooperates, it might raise the sale price by $30,000 to $40,000. Out of that you still pay six percent commission on the higher number, plus four to six months of mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities while the work happens and the listing runs.

That is a lot of risk and effort to land roughly where you started. And it assumes nothing goes wrong — that the roofer shows up, the kitchen does not reveal rot behind the cabinets, and the market holds through the delay.

Selling as-is skips all of it. Our number is lower than a fully renovated retail price and we will say so plainly. It also arrives without commission, without carrying costs, and without you managing a renovation on a house you are trying to leave.

Home with foundation problems purchased as-is for cash with no repairs made by the seller — 1157 W 7th — foundation issues that ended a retail sale. $80,000.

The inspection is where most sales quietly fall apart

Most sellers of older homes assume the hard part is finding a buyer. It is not. The hard part is the ten days after you accept an offer.

The inspector produces a report running twenty pages. The buyer’s agent turns the biggest items into a credit request, often five figures. You either pay it, renegotiate, or lose the buyer and go back on the market looking stale — which invites the next buyer to push harder.

There is no inspection round with us. We look at the house once, price what we see and what we expect to find, and that number holds. Sellers who have already lost a deal this way tell us that certainty is the entire reason they called.

What "needs repairs" actually covers

Roofs at the end of their life. Furnaces and boilers that failed in January. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch wiring, and panels that insurers refuse to write against. Clay sewer laterals full of roots. Wet basements, settled foundations, and additions built without permits decades ago.

Also the cosmetic backlog: kitchens from the sixties, one bathroom for four bedrooms, carpet over hardwood, and windows that have not sealed since the Clinton administration.

None of it disqualifies a house. It changes the number once, and then it never comes up again.

FAQ

Questions people ask us about houses that need repairs

Do I really not have to make any repairs?

None. No roof, no furnace, no paint, no cleaning. We buy in current condition and we handle everything after closing. You do not even need to remove what you are leaving behind.

Should I fix the big items first to get a better offer?

Not if you are selling to us. You would spend the money and raise our offer by roughly the same amount, so you have done the work for free. Repairing first only pays when you intend to list retail and can absorb both the cost and the months it takes.

Does the condition change the offer?

Yes, and we show you how. We tell you what the house sells for once it is fixed, what we estimate the work costs, and what we need to make the project worthwhile. You see all three numbers rather than a figure with no explanation behind it.

My deal already fell apart after the inspection. Can you help?

That is one of the most common calls we get. A failed inspection round is exactly the problem a cash purchase solves, because there is no second negotiation. We price it once, up front, and the number at closing is the number we quoted.

What is the worst condition you will buy?

We have bought homes with failed furnaces in January, active water intrusion, fire damage, partially collapsed garages, and structures with no remaining value at all. If we make an offer, we close on it. We have never walked away from a property we put under contract.
