Sell My House As-Is

"As-Is" on the Market vs. As-Is to a Cash Buyer

You can list a house "as-is" with an agent. But that word means less than most people think on the open market.

Buyers will still want to tour the house, so you'll have showings. Most buyers will still order an inspection. When the report comes back, they'll often send a list of repair requests, or ask you to lower the price. If you say no, they can walk away, and you start over.

Financing is another hurdle. Many buyers use a loan, and lenders may refuse to finance a home with certain problems. FHA and VA loans, for example, have property condition standards a home has to meet. A bad roof, peeling paint on an older home, or a broken heating system can stop a sale before it closes.

When you sell your house as-is to us, there's no inspection repair list to negotiate and no lender to satisfy. We look at the condition up front and make our written offer with it in mind. If you'd like to see the math, here's how we calculate your offer.

Should You Fix It Up First? An Honest Answer

Sometimes fixing up a house before you sell is the right call. Here's a simple way to think about it.

Fixing it up can make sense when the repairs are small, you have the cash and the time to do them, and you're comfortable finding and managing contractors. In that case, listing a fixed-up home may put more money in your pocket.

Selling as-is can make more sense when the repairs are major, nobody can tell you what they'll really cost, or you need to move soon. A foundation, a sewer line, or a fire-damaged kitchen can turn into months of work and surprise bills.

Nick will tell you honestly if listing looks like the better route for you. In his words: if working with him isn't the right path, he'll gently point you toward someone who can serve you better.

Leave Behind Whatever You Don't Want

You don't have to empty the house before you sell to us. Take what you want to keep, and leave the rest: furniture, old appliances, boxes in the garage, things in the attic.

There's no cleanout to plan, no dumpster to rent, and no staging. You won't need to scrub floors or paint walls for photos. We handle it after closing. If the house is empty and someone has moved in without permission, we can help with that too. See selling a house with squatters.

Being Upfront About What You Know

When you sell, it's best to share what you know about the home's condition, like a leak you've seen, an old repair, or work done without a permit. You don't need to dig for problems you don't know about. Just tell us what you know.

We buy the house either way. A licensed Oregon title company handles the paperwork for the sale. If you have questions about what you're required to tell a buyer, please talk with a real estate attorney. We don't give legal advice. You can see every step of the sale on our how it works page.

Nick saved our house from foreclosure, I'm so so grateful. We had 3 weeks until we lost our house to auction and so selling the traditional way wasn't possible. We needed to move fast and Nick did just that. He's honest, seems to care, and did everything he said he was going to do. Thank you Nick!

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need to clean out the house before selling?
+
No. You can leave behind furniture, appliances, clothes, and anything else you don't want. Take what matters to you, and we'll handle the rest after closing. You don't need to rent a dumpster, hire movers, or scrub anything. Many people are relieved to hear that, especially when a house has years of belongings in it.
My house failed an inspection with another buyer. Will you still buy it?
+
Yes. A failed inspection doesn't scare us off. In fact, if you have the inspection report, it can help. Share it with us, along with anything else you know about the house, and we'll factor the condition into our written offer. You don't need to make the repairs the other buyer asked for.
Can I sell a house with unpermitted work?
+
In many cases, yes. We buy homes with rooms, garages, basements, or other work done without permits. You don't need to get the work permitted or torn out first. Tell us what you know about it, and we'll account for it in our offer. If you have questions about your legal duties, please talk with a real estate attorney.
Do you buy houses with code violations or liens?
+
In many cases, yes. We can buy houses with open code violations from the city or county. Liens are usually paid off from the sale at closing by the licensed title company, the same way a mortgage is. Every situation is different, so tell us what you know and we'll talk through how it may affect the sale.
Do I need to be there for the walkthrough?
+
Not always. If you live nearby, you're welcome to meet us and point out anything we should know. If you live out of town or would rather not be there, we can often arrange access another way, like a lockbox or a family member. In some cases, we may not need a walkthrough at all.
What's the worst condition house you'll buy?
+
We buy houses in almost any condition, including homes with fire damage, major foundation problems, heavy hoarding, mold, or years of sitting empty. If you think your house is too far gone for anyone to want it, call or text Nick anyway. Tell us what's going on, and we'll give you an honest answer and a written offer.
