Sell it exactly as it stands — we mean that literally
The regional housing stock we work in is old: DC and Baltimore rowhouses from the 1900s, post-war NoVA ramblers, Delaware farmhouses on original septic. When the repair list outgrows the budget, we buy the house as-is and price the work into a transparent offer.
The repairs that kill traditional sales here
In our markets the deal-breakers are predictable: foundation and party-wall movement in rowhouses, knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that insurers refuse, underground oil tanks in older NoVA and Montgomery County lots, failed septic systems in Sussex and Charles counties, and roofs past their life on 1980s subdivisions. Financed buyers can't close on these because their lenders and insurers won't allow it. Cash buyers can.
How we price an as-is offer
We start from the renovated value of comparable homes in your immediate neighborhood, subtract the realistic cost of the work (we walk the property with our own contractors), and subtract our margin. You'll see each of those numbers — if another buyer beats our offer, you should take it, and we'll tell you so.
No inspections used against you
A traditional buyer's inspection is a renegotiation tool. Ours isn't: we do one walkthrough before we make the offer, and the number we give you is the number on the settlement statement. No repair credits, no re-trades the week of closing.
Frequently asked
Do you buy houses with fire or water damage?
Yes, including houses that are not safe to enter. We can often assess from the exterior plus photos and public records.
Do you buy condemned properties or houses with code violations?
Yes. Open violations and vacant-property registry fees transfer to us at closing and become our responsibility.
What if the house is fine and just dated?
We buy those too — 'as-is' includes 1987 oak cabinets. You'll simply see a higher offer because the work is cosmetic.
