Sell your house as-is in 3 simple steps
No listings, no repairs, no contractors — just a fair cash offer on your house in its current condition.
Share a few quick details
Call, text, or fill out the short form with the property address. Tell us whatever you know about the condition — or don’t. We’ll figure the rest out when we see it. No judgment, no inspection reports needed.
We walk the property and make an offer
We’ll visit the home exactly as it sits and present a no-pressure cash offer, usually within 24 hours. We factor in the repairs ourselves — that’s our problem, not yours.
Pick your closing date and walk away
Once you accept, we close at a local title company on your timeline — as fast as 7 days or whenever works for you. Leave anything behind you don’t want. We handle the rest.
Your house needs work — that’s exactly what we’re looking for
Most buyers want move-in ready. Most agents will tell you to spend thousands on repairs before listing. We’re the opposite — the worse the condition, the more we can help. We buy houses other buyers won’t touch.
- We handle all the repairs after closing — Foundation cracks, roof damage, mold, fire damage, outdated everything — we take it all on. You don’t spend a dollar fixing anything.
- Leave whatever you don’t want — Old furniture, junk in the basement, stuff in the garage — leave it all. We clean out the property after closing at no cost to you.
- Close in as little as 7 days — No waiting for contractors, no staging, no open houses. We make a cash offer and close on your timeline — fast or slow, your call.
- No financing risk — We pay cash. No appraisals, no bank approvals, no deals falling apart because a lender doesn’t like the condition of the property.
- No agents, no fees, no commissions — You keep more of the sale price. No 5-6% agent commission, no closing cost surprises. What we offer is what you walk away with.
Questions homeowners ask about selling a house as-is
Clear answers so you can decide if selling as-is is the right move for you.
What kind of shape is your house in?
It doesn’t matter. Whether it needs a little cosmetic work or a full gut rehab, we buy it. Here’s a sense of what we see every day.
Outdated but livable
The house is structurally fine but stuck in the ’80s or ’90s. Old carpet, dated kitchen, worn bathrooms, maybe needs paint inside and out. Livable but not listing-ready without spending $20K+.
- Old kitchens & bathrooms
- Worn carpet, dated flooring
- Needs paint & general updating
Significant repairs needed
Beyond cosmetic — there are real problems. Roof needs replacing, HVAC is shot, plumbing leaks, electrical issues, or water damage in the basement. Most buyers and their lenders won’t touch it.
- Roof, HVAC, or plumbing failures
- Water damage or basement issues
- Won’t pass a traditional inspection
Severe damage or neglect
Fire damage, foundation problems, mold throughout, hoarder conditions, or years of vacancy and neglect. The house needs a full rehab — and that’s exactly what we do.
- Fire, flood, or storm damage
- Foundation or structural issues
- Hoarder conditions or full cleanout needed
Cash buyer vs. real estate agent vs. fixing it yourself
Not sure which direction to take? Here’s how selling as-is to a cash buyer compares — especially when the house needs serious work.
| Easy Exit (Cash Buyer) | Real Estate Agent | Fix It & List It Yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed to sell | Offer in 24 hrs, close in as little as 7 days | 30–90+ days after repairs are done | Months of renovation + months on market |
| Repairs needed | None — sell completely as-is | Agent will recommend $10K–$50K+ in updates | You manage contractors, timelines, and budgets |
| Upfront cost to you | $0 | Repair costs + staging + photography | Full renovation cost out of pocket |
| Fees & commissions | $0 | 5–6% + closing costs | 5–6% if you still use an agent to sell |
| Showings & open houses | None — one private walkthrough | Weeks of showings, strangers in your home | Same — showings after renovation is complete |
| Risk of deal falling through | Low — cash, no financing contingency | High — buyers back out after inspection | High — renovation may go over budget or over time |
| Best for | Any condition, fast, no hassle, no cost | Good condition, no rush, willing to invest upfront | Only if you have cash, time, and contractor experience |
