Selling a house that needs repairs

You Have Options — Even If the Home Isn’t in Perfect Shape

If your home needs repairs, you may feel stuck — unsure whether to fix it, list it, or walk away. Many homeowners delay selling because they believe the house must be 'market ready.' The truth is, you can sell your home as-is and still move forward with a cash sale. At Jazzed Up Homes, we help local homeowners sell properties in any condition — without the need for repairs, cleaning, or costly upgrades.

Why Repairs Stop People From Selling

Home repairs can quickly become overwhelming when considering a cash sale due to:

• High upfront costs for roof, HVAC, plumbing, or foundation work

• Long contractor timelines and permit delays

• Insurance issues after storm or water damage

• Stress of managing repairs while still living in the home

• Fear that more problems will be found during inspections

For many sellers, the cost and time of repairs make it challenging to sell a home as-is, which often makes a traditional sale unrealistic.

What Repairs Really Cost vs What You May Net

It’s common for homeowners to spend thousands on home repairs before listing a property — and still face inspection issues later. Between contractor bills, months of mortgage payments, and agent commissions, much of the increased sale price can be consumed before you ever see the money. In many cases, opting to sell your home as-is for a fair cash sale can lead to similar — or even better — net proceeds without the stress and delays.

What Does "As-Is" Really Mean?

Selling your home as-is means:

• No home repairs required

• No cleaning or staging

• No inspection repair demands

• No showings or open houses

You can sell your home as-is in its current condition, allowing for a cash sale, while we handle the necessary updates after closing.

Traditional Sale vs Cash Sale When Repairs Are Needed

With a traditional listing, you may encounter challenges such as:

• Repair requests after inspection, leading to potential home repairs

• Buyer financing falling through

• Extended time on the market

• Ongoing utility and mortgage costs

In contrast, opting for a cash sale through Jazzed Up Homes allows you to:

• Avoid inspections that could cancel the deal

• Eliminate financing delays

• Enjoy a flexible closing timeline

• Experience a simple, predictable process while you sell your home as-is.

When a Cash Sale Makes the Most Sense

You may want to consider a cash sale if:

• The home has major deferred maintenance that requires significant home repairs

• Storm or water damage has occurred

• The property has been vacant

• You can’t afford or manage repairs

• You want to sell your home as-is quickly and move on

Every home and every situation is different — we take the time to understand yours.
