The Hidden Costs of Selling a Home Needing Major Repairs with a Realtor

When selling a house that needs major work, most homeowners make the mistake of focusing on what the house could be worth if it were perfect. What is often overlooked is the Cost of Decay. Unlike a normal home, a damaged house gets worse every day it sits.

Holding Costs

Property taxes, utilities, insurance, and basic maintenance continue each month while your home sits on the market, and can add up quickly.

Realtor Commissions

 

Traditional listings typically include agent commissions paid at closing, reducing your final take-home amount regardless of the home’s condition.

Repairs & Buyer Requirements

Many buyers and lenders require inspections, repairs, or upgrades before the final sale. For a property needing major updates, these requests can be costly, time-consuming, or unrealistic.

Legal & Administrative Fees

Attorney fees, paperwork, and closing costs can add up, especially if the transaction is delayed due to repair negotiations or buyer financing issues.

Time &
Opportunity Cost

Extended timelines can mean months of continued responsibility for a property you may not want to repair, manage, or maintain any longer.

Questions About Selling a Home That Needs Major Repairs?

We’ve answered the most common questions about selling an unrenovated property as-is and what to expect from the process.

Do I need to make any repairs before selling?

No. We buy property completely as-is. You don’t need to make repairs, clean, or update anything before selling. We account for the home’s condition when making our offer.

We buy homes with cosmetic issues, outdated systems, roof damage, foundation concerns, water damage, and other major repairs. If the property needs work, that’s okay. We’re prepared for it.

We look at what the home could sell for after renovations, then factor in the cost of repairs, holding costs, and market conditions. This allows us to make a fair cash offer based on the home’s current condition.

No. There are no realtor commissions, hidden fees, or closing costs deducted from your offer. The number you see is the amount you receive at closing.

Not at all. Our offers are completely no strings attached. You’re free to review your options and decide what works best for your situation.
