We Buy Houses As-Is Nationwide | As-Is Home Buyers for Any House, Any Condition, No Repairs

As is home buyers (also written as is homebuyers) are companies and investors that buy a house in the condition it is in today. You do not fix, clean or stage the house before the sale. The buyer counts the cost of the work in the price and takes on the repairs after closing. As-Is Home Buyer is one of these buyers: we make cash offers on houses as is and close through a title company on the date you pick.

It means you sell the house in the condition it is in right now. You do not repair, paint, clean or update anything first, and the buyer agrees to take the house that way. Selling as is does not mean hiding problems: depending on your state, you may still need to tell the buyer about defects you know of. When you sell your house as is to us, we look at the house, count the repairs in our offer and handle the work after closing.

Buyers who buy houses as is include cash home buyers like us. They also include investors who fix up houses to resell or rent, and regular buyers who want a project. As is house buyers who pay cash do not need a bank loan. So a house that needs work does not hold up the sale. A buyer with a mortgage may need the house to pass the lender's appraisal or inspection first. A house with big defects can fail it.

Yes. We buy houses that need a new roof, foundation work, plumbing or electrical repairs, a new furnace or air conditioner, or a full update. You do not fix anything before you sell. We look at what the house needs, count that cost in our offer and take care of the work after closing. That is the point of selling to home buyers as is: the repairs become the buyer's job, not yours.

Yes. We buy houses in any condition: outdated, damaged, full of belongings, empty for years or stuck halfway through a remodel. A hoarder home, a house with structural damage or a house whose repairs cost more than you can afford is still a house we buy. You do not need to order an inspection, an appraisal or a repair estimate before you get our offer. We look at the house in person, or through photos and a phone call, and price it ourselves.

No. If you want someone to buy as is, house and contents together, that is how we work. Take the things you want to keep and leave the rest, from furniture and clothes to the boxes in the garage. The clean-out is part of our offer, not a bill you pay. Go through papers, photos and anything of value before closing, because once the house is ours, everything left inside is cleared out.

We can close in as little as 7 days when the title is clear and the paperwork is ready. Because we pay cash, there is no bank loan to wait on, no lender appraisal and no loan approval that can fall through. If you need more time to pack or move, pick a later date; the closing date is your choice. What can slow a closing down is the title work: liens, unpaid taxes, missing papers or an owner who still needs to sign.

We start with what the house would sell for after it is fixed up, based on recent sales of similar homes nearby. Then we subtract what the repairs will cost, our costs to resell it later, such as transfer taxes, escrow and title insurance, and our minimum profit. What is left is your offer. Location, how strong the local market is and how soon you want to close also play a part, and a house that needs more work gets a lower number.

Compare it with what you would really take home from a listing, not with the listing price. Start from a realistic sale price, then subtract the repairs a buyer or lender would ask for, the agent commission, closing costs, and the mortgage, taxes and utilities you keep paying while the house is on the market. Buying homes as is puts the repair risk on the buyer, so the price is lower. A fair offer is one whose math the buyer will show you in writing.

Not when you sell directly to us. A direct sale has no listing agent, so there is no listing commission, and we do not charge you a fee or a commission. If you already signed a listing agreement, or you choose to have an agent help you, that agreement decides what you owe the agent. Read it before you sign with any buyer, and ask the agent how a direct sale is treated under it.

Closing costs can include title insurance, escrow fees, recording fees, transfer taxes, property tax prorations and fees tied to paying off your mortgage or liens. Who pays which cost is written in the purchase agreement, so you see it before you agree to anything. At closing, the title company lists every cost and payoff on the settlement statement and pays you what is left. Ask us to walk you through the numbers before you sign.

Yes, if there is time before the sale date and the price covers what you owe, or your lender agrees to take less. A sale can pay off the loan and end the foreclosure, and any money left after the payoff is yours. Act early: the closer the sale date, the fewer choices you have. If you owe more than the house is worth, the lender has to approve a short sale first. A HUD-approved housing counselor or a lawyer can explain your rights where you live.

It depends on what you owe and on your lender. If our offer, plus any cash you can add, covers the loan payoff, you can sell as is like anyone else. If it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less than the full payoff, called a short sale, before the house can be sold. A short sale takes time and paperwork, so call early. We will tell you straight if our offer does not cover what you owe.

Yes. We buy inherited houses, including ones still full of a loved one's things. If the house is in probate, the executor or administrator the court named signs the sale, and the title company checks the court papers before closing. Depending on your state, the court may need to approve the sale. If several heirs own the house together, each owner on the title signs. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest; we handle the clean-out.

Yes. We buy rental houses with tenants in place, including tenants who are behind on rent, an eviction that is already filed, or people living there without permission. You do not have to empty the house first. A lease does not end just because the house is sold, so we take over as the landlord under the lease's terms. Tell us about the tenants, the lease, the deposits and any court case, and we include all of it in the offer.

Yes. We buy houses with open code violations, city fines, unpaid property taxes and liens. You do not have to fix the violations before closing; we take them on and count them in our offer. Liens and back taxes are paid at closing out of the sale money, by the title company, so the house changes hands with a clear title. If the liens add up to more than the house is worth, tell us early so we can tell you plainly what is possible.

Selling as is does not by itself cancel your duty to tell the buyer what you know. Depending on your state's laws, you may still need to fill out a disclosure form or tell the buyer about known problems, such as a leaking roof or past flooding. Being open up front protects you after closing. Tell us what you know about the house. It will not scare us off, and it helps us make an offer we do not have to revisit later.

A cash buyer does not need a mortgage approval to buy your house, so the sale does not wait on a bank's loan process or a lender's appraisal. Cash buyers for houses as is send the money to the title company or escrow; the title company pays off your loan and any liens, and you get what is left at closing. Before you sign, ask any buyer for proof of funds, such as a recent bank statement. We pay through a title company at closing.

When you sell to us, we are the buyer making you the offer, not your real estate agent. We do not list your house or put it on the market, and you do not pay us a commission. We make you an offer, and if you accept, the sale closes through a title company. If you want an agent or a lawyer to look over our offer for you, you are free to bring one, and we will answer their questions too.

Ask whether they have bought as-is houses before and can show proof of funds. Ask where the money comes from and how soon they can close. Ask what they plan to do with the house, whether the offer has contingencies or conditions that could change the price later, and whether they can give you references from recent sellers. A serious buyer answers straight and puts the offer in writing. On your side, tell the buyer what you know about the house.

Selling as is makes sense when the house needs big repairs, like a new roof or foundation work. Those repairs can scare off buyers on the regular market. It also fits when you inherit a house that needs work. It fits when a job change, money trouble or a deadline makes time matter most. And it fits when you would have to borrow money just to get the house ready to list. Then, skipping repairs and showings can matter more than getting the top price.

No. Getting an offer is free, and you are under no obligation to take it.

We look at the house, give you a cash offer in writing or over the phone, and you decide. If you say no, you owe us nothing.

We use what you send us to price your offer and to contact you about selling your house, by phone, text or email. You deal directly with us, not with a middleman. We do not sell your information. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we share it and how to ask us to delete it. You can reply STOP to any text message from us to stop getting them.
