LIST vs. SELL AS-IS
A Simple Guide for Homeowners thinking about selling AS-IS:
Consider SELLING AS-IS If:
The home needs major repairs (roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical)
You’ve inherited the property and don’t want the responsibility
The home is sitting vacant and not making you any money
You’re facing life changes (job relocation, divorce, probate, downsizing)
You don’t want to:
● Make any repairs
● Clean out the property to get it ready for showings
● Deal with inspections or appraisals
● Pay for closing costs or realtor commissions
The home won’t qualify for Conventional financing due to the condition
You need a fast, certain sale
👉 Selling as-is may be the better option if convenience, speed, and simplicity matter more than fixing thing
Consider LISTING Your Home If:
The home is move-in ready or needs only minor cosmetic updates
You have time, money and the ENERGY to make repairs or upgrades
The roof, HVAC, plumbing, and foundation are in great condition
You’re not in a rush to sell
You’re comfortable dealing with:
● Showings
● Inspections
● Buyer repair requests
● Paying agent commissions as well as closing costs
You want to maximize top market value
The home will likely qualify for traditional financing
👉 Listing may make sense if the home is solid and you want to invest time for a higher price
⚖️Ask Yourself These 5 Quick Questions:
1. How much would repairs really cost?
2. How long can I afford to wait to sell?
3. Do I want to manage contractors and repairs?
4. What happens if the buyer asks for repairs after inspection?
5. Would a cash, as-is offer remove stress for me?
