Sell a house that needs repairs, as-is
Foundation cracks, an old roof, plumbing problems, or a home that's simply dated can make a traditional sale harder. Many cash buyers purchase houses in any condition.
- ✓ Free and no obligation
- ✓ Sell as-is: no repairs or cleaning required by most buyers
- ✓ You choose the closing timeline
Request a no-obligation cash offer
Free, no obligation. A local buyer may follow up to learn more about your property.
Common issues cash buyers take on
Roof & structure
Leaks, foundation movement, termite damage.
Systems
Old electrical, plumbing, sewer lines, HVAC.
Unpermitted work
Garage conversions and additions done without permits.
Damage
Water, mold, or fire damage.
Disclosure still applies
California sellers generally must disclose known material defects, even in an as-is sale. Be upfront with buyers; it protects you and helps avoid surprises in escrow.
Common questions
Will a buyer pay less for a house that needs work?
Generally yes. Buyers factor in repair costs and risk. Getting more than one opinion helps you understand the trade-off.
Are you the company that buys my house?
No. Sell My House 911 is a free referral service. We pass your request to an independent local real estate investor or cash buyer, who may contact you and decide whether to make an offer.
Am I obligated to accept an offer?
No. Requesting an offer is free and there is no obligation. You can compare it with other buyers or with listing through a licensed real estate agent.
Will a cash offer be full market value?
Usually not. Investors typically pay less than full retail value in exchange for buying as-is, covering costs, and closing on your schedule. If getting the highest price matters most, also talk to a licensed agent about listing.
