Sell Your House As-Is — No Repairs, No Cleanout, No Apologies
Deferred maintenance, storm damage, a stalled renovation — I buy houses in the condition they're actually in.
I price the work like the person doing it, because I am — licensed Class A contractor, 40+ years a broker.
I take a limited number of sellers at a time — reach out early.
Sound Familiar?
“It needs too much work to list.”
“I don't want to put another dime into that house.”
“No bank is going to finance it like this.”
“I keep getting postcards from companies wanting to buy it.”
If the condition of the house is the reason you haven't sold, you're in the right place.
How I Handle As-Is Purchases
As-is means as-is.
Condition, contents, and all — take what you want, leave the rest. No repairs, no cleanout, no staging.
Priced by a contractor, not a formula.
I walk the property and price the actual work — not a lowball number backed by an inflated repair story.
Financing problems aren't my problems.
Homes that scare off lenders — code issues, unpermitted work, storm damage — are exactly what I buy, because I'm not waiting on a bank's approval.
The math, shown in writing.
After-repair value, minus real repair costs, minus carrying costs, minus a fair margin I don't hide — next to what listing would net you instead.
Not like the postcards.
Licensed, local, accountable — written offers with reasoning attached, clean professionally-handled closings, and no pressure, ever.
Is Listing Ever Right for a House That Needs Work?
Sometimes, yes — and I'll tell you when. If the work is mostly cosmetic and the market is strong, a modest prep budget can net you real money on a listing, and as a contractor I'll tell you exactly which repairs pay and which don't. When the work is structural, expensive, or just more than you want to take on, the direct purchase exists precisely for that. Both numbers, your call.

The Condition Is My Problem Now
Tell me honestly what shape it's in — you won't scare me off. I'll walk it, price it fairly, and put the number in writing next to your listing alternative.
