The repairs cost more than you can put in
At some point the list stops being maintenance and becomes a number you cannot cover. A roof, a failed system, a repair that revealed three more behind it.
The trap is that the repairs you cannot afford are exactly what stops the house selling normally. Lenders will not finance a house with certain problems, so the buyers who would pay retail cannot buy it.
We've got it.
We'll review the property and get back to you within 24 hours with an offer. If you'd rather talk it through now, call us at (432) 296-5971.
What makes this hard
The parts that stall a normal sale
-
Financing falls through on condition
Appraisers flag roofs, active leaks, missing systems, and safety issues. Certain loan types will not close on a house in poor repair at all.
-
Contractors want paying before you get paid
Fixing before selling means finding the money first, and estimates for this kind of work are rarely final.
-
The list grows while you decide
Deferred repairs do not stay the same size. A small leak becomes a framing problem.
Where we fit
What we can actually do about it
- No repairs, no cleaning, no pre-listing inspection to pass. We buy it exactly as it is.
- Our offer already accounts for the work. You are not asked to discount twice.
- Because we are not relying on a bank appraisal, condition does not kill the transaction.
- You do not have to get estimates or let contractors through the house first.
On every purchase, whatever the circumstances:
- No fees or commissions
- We cover closing costs
- Sold fully as-is
- No obligation
An offer within 24 hours. Closing in as little as 7 days, depending on the situation.
Questions
About this situation specifically
Should I fix anything before I call?
No. Do not spend money on a house you are about to sell to us. It rarely comes back and it delays everything.
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at what comparable houses nearby have sold for in good condition, subtract what this one needs, and subtract the cost and risk of doing that work. We will walk you through the number.
What if the house is not safe to enter?
Tell us that up front. We have looked at structurally compromised properties before and we will handle access carefully.
Find out what we would pay
Tell us about the property and we will send a cash offer within 24 hours. If it does not work for you, turn it down.
