If you’re thinking about selling your house, you’ve probably asked yourself this: Should I fix it up first, or sell it as-is? The answer depends on your goals, timeline, and how much work the property actually needs. At iLoveHouses.com, we’ve helped over 1,000 homeowners decide what’s best for their situation. Here’s what we’ve learned from two decades of local investing.

What Selling “As-Is” Really Means

Selling your house as-is means exactly that, you sell the property in its current condition, without making any repairs or upgrades. This includes skipping things like:
• Roof or HVAC repairs
• Paint, carpet, or flooring updates
• Plumbing or electrical fixes
• Landscaping or junk removal

In most cases, the buyer takes on the responsibility of fixing the property after closing. This saves you time, money, and hassle, especially if the home needs more work than you’re able (or willing) to handle.

When Selling As-Is Makes the Most Sense

You might want to consider an as-is sale if:
• You inherited a home and want a fast, clean sale
• You’re relocating and don’t have time to renovate
• The home needs major repairs, like foundation or roof work
• You’re behind on payments or facing foreclosure
• You’re dealing with problem tenants or code violations

In these situations, listing with a traditional agent and waiting months for a buyer who wants everything perfect just doesn’t make sense.

At iLoveHouses.com, we specialize in buying homes like these directly from homeowners, no commissions, no inspections, no delays.

Do You Actually Get Less Money Selling As-Is?

It’s true that as-is offers can be lower than top-dollar retail prices, but that’s only part of the story.

Most retail buyers ask for repairs after inspections, and those costs add up quickly. Add in closing costs, holding costs (mortgage, taxes, utilities), and agent commissions, and your net ends up being much closer to what an investor would offer. Especially when the home needs work.

Plus, with us, you choose your closing date and avoid the stress of showing the property or doing any clean-up. We even buy homes with tenants or items left behind.
