The roof leaks. The foundation has a crack you don’t like the look of. Maybe there was a fire, or a pipe burst while the house sat empty. You can sell a house that needs major repairs without fixing any of it.
We buy houses in any condition, and the offer already accounts for the work. You don’t spend a dollar getting it ready, and you don’t have to manage a single contractor.
What kinds of repairs are too much?
For us, very few. We buy houses with:
- Foundation and structural problems
- Roof leaks and water damage
- Fire and smoke damage
- Mold and burst pipes
- Old wiring and outdated systems
- Open code violations
After closing, we handle the remediation, demolition, or rebuild ourselves. No estimates for you to gather, no extra insurance claims, and no cleanup.
To price it, we look at the location, recent sales nearby, and what each repair truly costs us. Then we put it in writing, line by line, so you can see exactly how we got to the number. If you want to see how that math works, read how cash buyers calculate an offer.
Why is a house that needs work so hard to sell the usual way?
A traditional sale puts the repairs on you. Buyers ask for them, inspections turn them up, and the repair bill nobody budgets for is often the one that moves the most. A buyer who needs a loan may also struggle to get one on a house in rough shape.
So you either pay for the work up front, or you take a lower price and hope the deal holds. Neither is great when you’re already stretched.
Do you have to tell buyers what’s wrong?
Only what you know. Under Virginia’s Residential Property Disclosure Act, you disclose the material defects you’re aware of. You don’t have to go looking for more. When you sell to us, we walk the property ourselves and price the condition before you sign, so there’s nothing to hide.
There’s more on that in what “sell your house as-is” actually means.
Should you fix it first and then list?
Sometimes that’s the better move. If the repairs are modest and you have the time and money, a fixed-up house may net you more on the open market. We’ll tell you if we think that’s your case.
A cash sale usually wins when the work is big, you don’t want to manage it, or you need a date you can count on.
