Selling Your House As-Is: What You Need to Know

What does it mean to sell your house as-is? Could this be right for you? Here’s what you should know if you’re considering selling a house off-market.

What does it mean to sell as-is?

This phrase simply means that you will not be responsible for any repairs, renovations or clean-up in the house. In many cases, the buyer will pay cash and may prefer to buy the house off-market (meaning a house that house that has not been listed by a Realtor).

How is this different from most home sales? Typically, if you list your home on the market, a buyer will expect you to make some repairs before closing. Selling as-is allows you to avoid out-of-pocket costs (often thousands of dollars) and hassle associated with those repairs.

Should I sell my house as-is?

Selling as-is can be a particularly attractive option for:

1. Homeowners who need to sell quickly: Because we pay cash, we can close in as little as 7 business days.
2. Homes that need repairs / renovations: Renovations are often expensive, stressful, and end up taking more time and money than you planned. Selling as-is allows you to skip all the headaches and expenses that traditionally come with selling a house.
3. Homes full of stuff you don’t want: Clearing out decades worth of stuff can be a major barrier for people who want to sell a house. This is especially true if you are downsizing or inherited a property. When we buy a house as-is, we give the option to leave behind all the things you no longer need, allowing you to move on with your life.
4. Homeowners who want to avoid out-of-pocket expenses:
5. Homeowners who want simplicity: If a low-stress, low-hassle sale fits your priorities, selling off-market may be right for you.
