Selling a House ‘As Is’ in Michigan
If you want to skip repairs and make a quick sale, selling a home as is in Michigan may be the right choice. Here’s how to do it successfully.
Selling a house “as is” in Michigan? Whether you’ve got a fixer-upper or recently inherited a relative’s home, sometimes you’d rather skip the repairs, get a fair offer, and move on.
Ryan Dosenberry, Founder and CEO of Lakeshore Home Buyer and Founder of real estate investment website Crushing REI, says that sellers unable or unwilling to make repairs is one of the most common reasons houses are sold “as is.”
“They don’t want to make the repairs themselves to lift the house for sale with a Realtor. Most of the time, if the house needs any repairs, most Realtors expect the homeowner to make the necessary repairs before they list the house on the market,” he says.
Sell ‘As Is’ With a Cash Offer or Top Agent
HomeLight’s Simple Sale platform can provide a no-obligation cash offer for homes in almost any condition. Skip repairs and close in as few as 10 days. You’ll also see an estimate of what a top agent might be able to get for your home. Compare both options with one tool.
He adds, “[Home sellers] don’t have the time. They don’t have the money, they’d rather just sell the house as is. Most of the time, the type of buyer that will buy a house like that would be an investor or somebody who works for a company that fixes homes up and resells them, as our company does.”
However, selling a house “as is” usually means accepting a lower offer, and it doesn’t always prevent buyers from trying to negotiate savings. Let’s look at the steps to selling a house as is in Michigan, your options for getting an offer, and what to expect from the process.
