Sell a House That Needs Repairs
Big repair lists stop many sales before they start. We buy houses that need work, from cosmetic updates to major structural problems, without asking you to fix anything.
Repairs we see often
- Roof leaks and storm damage
- Foundation cracks, settling, or wet basements
- Old wiring, panels, or plumbing
- Failed furnaces, AC units, or water heaters
- Deferred maintenance after years of renting or vacancy
Repair or sell as-is?
If you have the cash, time, and a contractor you trust, repairing first may get you a higher price. If repair costs are uncertain, bids keep growing, or you simply do not want the project, selling as-is moves the risk to us. A useful test: get a repair estimate, add a cushion for surprises, and compare the result to an as-is offer.
How repairs affect our offer
We estimate what the house would sell for once repaired, then subtract our repair estimate, holding and selling costs, and a margin for our risk. We share the repair items we priced so the number makes sense to you.
Be sure to compare. A direct offer may be lower than what you could get by listing on the open market. You are trading some price for convenience and certainty. We encourage you to weigh both.

Questions about sell a house that needs repairs
Should I make small repairs before selling to you?
Usually not. Small repairs rarely change our offer much, and you keep the money and time.
What if you find more problems later?
We do our walkthrough before we put an offer in writing so the price reflects what we saw. Tell us about anything you know is hidden, like past leaks.
Do you buy houses with code violations?
Often, yes. Let us know about any notices from the city or county so we can account for them.
