Repairs become our headache

Sell Your House As-Is in Seymour

The roof, the boiler, the bathroom nobody has touched in years. You leave all of it. We price the repairs in and show you how.

No Repair List, No Contractor Calls

A lot of the houses in this part of the Valley were built when Seymour still ran on its mills. Good bones. Also, quite often, an original kitchen, a roof on its last legs, an oil burner older than some of the people living there, and wiring that would make an inspector frown. Selling a house like that the usual way means fixing it first or watching buyers walk away after the inspection.

Selling as-is puts none of that on your shoulders. We size up the place as it stands right now and build the work into our number. You do not hire anyone, pull a permit or repaint a single room. You do not even need to sweep.

The important part is that you can see how the condition affected the number. We list the major items we expect to deal with, give you our rough cost for each and show how they come off the after-repair value. Think we overestimated something? Say so. That is the conversation we want to have.

What As-Is Covers

If it is wrong with the house, it is part of the price, not a task on your list.

  • Roof and structure

    Worn shingles, sagging porches, settling foundations and wet basements.

  • Mechanicals

    Old oil burners, buried or basement tanks, tired water heaters and dated electrical panels.

  • Kitchens and baths

    Decades-old cabinets, cracked tile and fixtures nobody wants to look at.

  • Code and permit issues

    Unpermitted finished basements, additions and other work a buyer's inspector would flag.

  • Damage

    Fire, water, storm or mold damage, priced and handled after closing.

  • Mess

    Skip the broom. Whatever stays inside is removed by our free clean-out once the deed transfers.

The As-Is Route

  1. Share what you have noticed

    You do not need an inspection report. Just share what you have noticed: leaks, odd smells, the age of the roof or heating system.

  2. One walk-through

    We look at the house once, or review photos, and note the major repairs it would need to sell on the open market.

  3. The offer, repairs itemized

    You hear the number along with our cost estimate for each big item, so the condition is never a mystery deduction.

  4. Close when you are ready

    The closing attorney handles the papers, we pay the closing costs and the house becomes ours exactly as you left it.

Older Houses and the As-Is Case

  • No money out of pocket

    Repairs cost cash up front and rarely return every dollar at sale time. You skip the gamble.

  • No inspection renegotiation

    There is no buyer's inspection list to haggle over after you thought the price was settled.

  • An honest repair estimate

    You see what we expect the work to cost and can push back if a figure looks high.

  • No repairs
  • No cleaning
  • Repairs itemized
  • Closing costs paid
