Selling a House As-Is
As-is means you sell the house in its current condition without promising to make repairs. It does not mean you can skip required disclosures.
What as-is usually means
- You do not make repairs or clean before closing, unless you agree to.
- The price reflects the condition.
- You still answer honestly about known problems, as your state requires.
Two ways to sell as-is
- List as-is with an agent. You reach more buyers and may get a higher price, but expect showings, commissions and a longer timeline.
- Sell directly to a buyer like us. There are no showings for the public and no agent commission, but the price is usually lower than a repaired house on the open market.
How to compare offers
Compare what you would walk away with, not just the headline price. Look at repairs, commissions, closing costs, holding costs and how likely the sale is to close. Ask any buyer for the offer in writing.

As-Is Does Not Mean “Hide Problems”
Selling as-is means you will not make repairs or offer credits for them. It does not remove your duty to disclose known defects in states that require it. Being honest protects you and helps a buyer make a firm offer. When you sell to us, tell us what you know and we will price it in.
Listing As-Is vs. Selling As-Is to a Cash Buyer
- Listing as-is can attract more buyers, but many still need financing and inspections. Lenders may refuse houses with serious problems, and buyers often ask for price cuts after inspection.
- Selling as-is to a cash buyer removes the lender and usually the renegotiation. The price reflects the condition upfront.
What to Leave Behind
In an as-is sale to us, you can usually leave furniture, appliances and belongings you do not want. Take what matters, and we handle the rest after closing. Just let us know in advance so it is written into the agreement.
