A house with foundation problems
Foundation problems are the fastest way to lose a retail buyer. The word alone ends most deals, even when the actual movement is minor and long since stopped.
Engineering reports are expensive, repair bids vary wildly for the same house, and every bid is an estimate that can grow once work begins. Buyers know this, which is why they leave.
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
-
One report ends the sale
A foundation note in an inspection report typically produces either a withdrawal or a demand for a large credit.
-
Bids do not agree with each other
It is common to get quotes on the same house that differ by tens of thousands, which makes it impossible to price the problem confidently.
-
It shows up elsewhere in the house
Movement causes cracked walls, doors that will not close, and plumbing problems under a slab, all of which get flagged separately.
Where we fit
What we can actually do about it
- We buy with the foundation as it is. No engineering report and no repair required first.
- Active movement, past repairs, or a transferable warranty. All of it is workable and we will tell you how it affects the number.
- You are not asked to fund a repair to make the sale happen.
- Slab, pier and beam, or basement. We look at all of them.
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
Do I need an engineering report?
No. If you already have one it is useful, but do not commission one for our benefit.
The foundation was repaired years ago. Does that matter?
Yes, and in your favor. Bring any paperwork and warranty documents you have.
How much does foundation damage reduce the offer?
It depends on the severity and on what it has caused elsewhere in the house. We will show you how we got there instead of just handing you a lower number.
