Reasons You Should Sell Your House “AS IS”
There are many reasons that you should sell your house “as is.” First, there is a low upfront expense. “As is” sellers are not likely to spend money on pricey renovations like replacing windows or updating whole rooms. When selling a property with tenants or simply deferred maintenance, repairs can be costly and inconvenient. Instead, an “as is” seller may choose not to make any repairs or only make minor upgrades that would slightly raise the value of the property such as a screen door replacement or fresh paint. Deciding on some inexpensive repairs may be a good idea and could sell your home faster, depending on your situation and the home’s condition. As has been pointed out, one of the main benefits of selling a house “as is” is the fact that you can save a lot of money.
There’s no need for interior or exterior renovations, and you do not have to worry about preparing the home to be shown to potential buyers. Most people do not want to deal with the daunting expenses that come with fixing up a home to sell it, especially if it is run down. If you are losing your home to foreclosure or there are other major debts involved, renovations could be impossible. Instead of racking up more debt, sell your home “as is” and save your hard earned money!
Another advantage of selling a house “as is” is the benefit of a speedy transaction. If you need to sell your house quickly, having to go through a realtor to process the listing and making repairs to every minor cosmetic issue can be too time-consuming. Selling your property “as is” and working with our reputable investment company can speed the transaction up from seemingly endless months to as little as a few days from contract signing to closing. If you want to sell your home quickly, selling it “as is” can be the best way to go. Additionally, home improvements prolong the amount of time you have to wait before you can sell the house. Even if you choose to do repairs to save yourself money, you will still have to put off putting the house up for sale. It takes longer to do repairs yourself, so the ratio of money to time just does not work out. Don’t worry about having to work around job and family commitments, call us today to sell your home “as is”.
Another benefit of an “as is” sale is that there is no need to clean out the house. If you find yourself under mounds of trash and items from an inherited property, the idea of cleaning it out can seem daunting. When selling “as is”, you can leave it! Anything that you do not know what to do with, all the trinkets and treasures accumulated over the years will be discarded by us! You don’t have to take the time to sort through them and haul them all to the dump, let the buyer deal with it. As an “as is” seller there will never have to be an organization frenzy or a deep cleaning. With the proper disclosures concerning the state of the house, your marketing will not be any less effective, and you will likely have the option to leave some or all of your unwanted stuff behind.

Was Your House Damaged In A Fire or Flood?
Do you find yourself burdened with a property that was destroyed in a fire or flood? If your property has been damaged and you have an insurance payment but don’t want or need the house repaired, sell it “as is” and move on to your next property. Likewise, if your property needs major repairs and you are in over your head or can’t afford to repair the property or if the land on which your house sits is more valuable than the structure itself, Selling a home “as is” is a good alternative to trying to list it. It makes no sense to improve a house that will be torn down for a new property to be built. Don’t worry about hefty insurance payments or the inability to make repairs on a natural disaster. Dependable Homebuyers, the “as is” buyer can take all that added stress away for you!
Have You Inherited A Property?
If you have been put in a situation where you have inherited property, either by divorce or death of a loved one and you cannot afford it, you can sell it “as is.” Often times you can inherit property or ‘Win’ a house in a divorce, but soon find out you can’t afford the maintenance and associated holding costs on the property. Taxes, maintenance, repairs, and utilities add up quickly and can be a burden. When deceased parents leave their homes to their children, the best way to divide the value of the property is by selling it and distributing the proceeds among the siblings. In such cases, when no one has the time or money to prepare the house, it is best to sell “as is” in order to acquire and disburse the funds quickly. The house gets sold quickly, and this method allows the heir to avoid a lot of the stress that comes with trying to divide the property among their siblings. All they have to do is split the profits equally.
Sometimes, you may love the home you live in or grew up in, but over time you have seen the neighborhood change. This is another reason that is it profitable to sell “as is”. Even if you have emotional ties to the home, the neighborhood might have changed for the worse, economically, socially or physically. As time passes some neighborhoods may not be what they used to be: over time they can drastically change. If your neighbors refuse to keep the noise down or there is an influx of crime close to your home, you should consider selling “ as is”. Investors are interested in many areas the typical retail buyer may not want.
Deferring Maintenance – Another Reason To Sell “AS IS”
If the above reasons are not enough to convince someone to sell their home “ as is”, then consider deferred maintenance. If you are someone that likes new things, but the thought of home improvement projects bores you, deferred maintenance is a great reason to sell “ as is”. It is maybe easier to buy a newer and updated home than go through the hassle of a remodel. First, consider the cosmetics of the house. If it is outdated, it would be much easier and less labor intensive to buy a modern home that is more pleasing to the eye and has a higher resale value. If aesthetics are not a concern, just the replacement of the roof or HVAC system may be. The useful life of these items is around 15 years and if the house is old it may be easier and, of course, cost-effective to sell “as is” and purchase a newer home.

How To Become A Seller Instead Of An Owner
First, you should obtain a pre-listing inspection. Since you’re required to disclose information about the house’s condition, it’s a good idea to learn as much as you can before selling. A pre-listing inspection helps you identify everything that’s wrong with the home before you put it on the market. That way, you can truly be honest with the potential buyers from the beginning. Next, you may want to get estimates for potential repairs. Once you learn about any issues with the home, it’s a good idea to get an estimate for the costs of the repairs. This allows you to be honest with potential buyers and let them know what they’re getting into ahead of time. If you’ve already obtained estimates on potential repairs, you can give “as is” buyers a more accurate number and help them see that your house is still worth buying.
Although it is not necessary when working with our company, you may want to consider some small repairs. Of course, the goal is to sell the house without putting in any money for improvements. You may be able to get a better price if you make some repairs yourself. If you’re willing to do the bare minimum, you can sell your house for a higher price and expedite the sales process.
The seller and buyer must be in complete agreement about the fact that repairs won’t be made and that the house comes with any and all of its current problems. The seller must disclose any known defects, as in any other type of sale, but can sell the property in “as is” condition and thereby refuse to make any repairs. There are some rules that come with selling a house “as is”. For example, in many states, homeowners are legally obligated to answer any questions about the house’s current state honestly. When selling your house “as is”, it can be tempting to downplay damage in order to get more from the buyer. In reality, though, this practice can end up doing a lot more harm than good.
Remember The Reason For Selling Your House “AS IS”
Your property should be priced reasonably. You can call us at any time to begin the process of getting an estimate on your “as is” sale. Make sure you factor in the needed repairs when you’re pricing the house and try to be reasonable when factoring in what the house is worth. Similarly, you need to be honest about the condition of the home. This isn’t just necessary for avoiding legal trouble; it will also help you sell the home faster since the buyer will know exactly what issues to look for.
Finally, and most importantly, remember to be flexible during this process. We are here to work for you. Buyers may still want to negotiate the price of the house with you, and you may have to make some concessions in order to get the house sold. Keep things in perspective and remember your reasons for selling the house “as is”.
Now that you know what to do when selling a house “as is”, it’s time to get your home on the market! When you’re ready to sell, make sure you call Dependable Homebuyers (855) 741-4848 to speak to a trained professional and get the process started to sell your home “as is.”
