Can I sell my house without fixing anything?

Yes. You can sell a house that needs repairs as-is to a cash buyer like Southern Home Offers without fixing, cleaning or updating anything. We price the repairs into the offer, close on your timeline, and you leave behind whatever you do not want to take.

Why this kind of house is hard to sell the usual way

Most buyers who need a mortgage cannot buy a house with a failing roof, broken HVAC, unsafe wiring or plumbing that does not work — the lender's appraiser flags it, and the loan stalls until it is fixed.

Fixing it first means paying for the work up front, managing contractors, and carrying the taxes, insurance and utilities while it gets done. Many owners simply do not have the cash or the time.

How we buy it

How it affects your offer

The repairs come off the top of the after-repair value at what they actually cost a contractor in this market — the same numbers we would pay. We show you the line items so you can check them. See exactly how we calculate an offer.

Questions about selling: needs major repairs

What repairs make a house hard to sell?

The ones a lender will not finance around: a roof at the end of its life, a failed HVAC system, active leaks, unsafe or outdated electrical (fuse boxes, knob-and-tube), sewer or septic failure, and structural movement. A cash buyer is not bound by those lender rules.

Should I fix my house before I sell it?

Only if the repair adds more to the sale price than it costs you, after your time and carrying costs. Cosmetic work often does; big-ticket systems usually do not. We will tell you honestly which side your house falls on.

Do I have to clean the house out?

No. Leave what you do not want — furniture, junk, the shed full of stuff. Clean-out is part of our cost, not yours.

Will you lower the offer after an inspection?

Our goal is not to. We walk the house before we put our offer in writing, so the condition is already priced in. If we find something seriously wrong that neither of us could see, like hidden foundation failure, we will show it to you before anything changes.
