Houses that need work
Sell a house that needs major repairs in Georgia.
Bad roof, foundation trouble, water or fire damage. We buy houses anywhere in Georgia as they are and do the repairs after closing, so you never pay a contractor.
Who this is for
Owners who got a repair quote and stopped there.
Most people call us after a contractor gave them a number they do not want to pay, or after a buyer backed out over the inspection report. Some owners already know the house needs more than they can take on.
Repairs pile up fastest on rentals and on houses where the payments have fallen behind. See our pages on selling a rental home and stopping a foreclosure if either sounds familiar. We buy houses with problems all over Georgia.
- The roof leaks or is near the end of its life
- The foundation has cracks or the floors slope
- There is water damage or fire damage
- The wiring, plumbing or HVAC is old or failing
- The house has code issues or years of skipped maintenance
Your choices
Three ways to sell a house that needs work.
Repair it, then list it
Can bring the highest price. You pay for the work up front, wait on contractors, and keep paying taxes, insurance and utilities until it sells.
List it as it is
Buyers who need a bank loan may have trouble getting one on a house with major problems, and the inspection can reopen the price after you accept an offer.
Sell it to us as-is
A written cash offer for the house in its current condition. You skip the repairs and the commission, and there is no buyer's loan to wait on.
If the house would sell for a lot more once it is fixed, ask about our Equity Protection Program. It pairs a quick cash offer with the higher prices you see on the open market, and we can tell you if your property qualifies.
The offer
How we price a house that needs work in Georgia.
We look at the location, the repairs the house needs, the age of the house and its major systems, the updates it would need, recent sales within a mile, and current demand. Then we walk you through how we got the number.
We will be honest with you. We look for a fair discount, because we usually put tens of thousands of dollars into repairs and updates after we buy. In return you get cash, a closing date you choose, and none of the work. The full process is on our how we buy houses page.
- Tell us what is wrong with it.
Tell us what you know about the roof, water, foundation or wiring. You do not need inspection reports or contractor bids.
- A specialist walks the house.
We make one visit and look at the repairs, the major systems and the condition room by room.
- You get a written cash offer.
There is no obligation to take it, so compare it with what repairing and listing would leave you after costs.
- Close on your date.
As little as seven days when the title is clear. After closing, the repairs are our job.
Reviews
Sellers who skipped the repairs.
I wanted to sell my home without having to do any work or showings. The offer was fair, and they closed on my timeline.
An absolutely easy transaction from start to finish. After calling that morning, an appraiser came out the same day and made me an offer before leaving, we closed less than 2 weeks later. Everyone was very helpful...
Fair offer. No issues. Quick closing. Thank you!
Repair questions
Before you call a contractor.
Do I need to make any repairs before you buy my Georgia house?
No. We buy houses as-is, so you do not need to fix the roof, the plumbing, the floors or anything else first. We price the house in its current condition and handle the work after closing.
Will you buy a house with fire or water damage?
Yes. We buy fire-damaged and water-damaged houses, along with houses that have roof, foundation or code problems.
Do I need inspections or contractor quotes first?
No. Tell us what you know about the house, and we look at the rest during our visit. If you already have a report or a quote, it helps, but it is not required.
Can I leave old furniture and junk in the house?
Yes. Take what you want and leave the rest. We clean it out after closing.
Are there fees or commissions?
No. There is no agent, so there is no commission. We can often pay all of your closing costs and attorney fees too, so ask about that on your property.
Tell us what the house needs.
Send the address. A specialist calls you back to go over the repairs and set up one visit.
