Sell your Michigan house as-is.

What "as-is" actually means

When a real estate agent says "as-is," it usually still means inspections, buyer repair requests, and renegotiation after the inspection. When we say as-is, we mean it literally. We assess the condition before we make the offer, our offer accounts for whatever is there, and we don't come back after acceptance asking for credits.

Take what you want from the property. Leave the furniture, the belongings, the debris -- whatever is there. We handle it after closing.

What we've bought

We've purchased properties with fire and smoke damage, foundation cracks and bowing walls, roof failures, mold, outdated electrical and plumbing, hoarding situations with significant debris, code violations and open city orders, and properties that have been vacant for years. Condition affects the offer. Nothing disqualifies a property.

Why repairs don't always make sense

The math on repairs before selling often doesn't work out the way sellers expect. A $20,000 kitchen renovation rarely adds $20,000 to the sale price -- and it takes months, creates hassle, and has to be managed while you're trying to move on. Our offer already accounts for the repairs we'll make after purchase. You're not paying for work you don't want to do.

The alternative: what a listed as-is sale actually looks like

Listing as-is with an agent means disclosing known defects, accepting a lower price, and still going through showings, inspections, and a buyer's financing process. Most retail buyers won't touch a property with significant issues because their lender won't lend on it. The practical buyer pool for a distressed property is investors -- and we're one of them, cutting out the middleman.

Occupied properties

If the property has tenants, we can buy it occupied. We deal with the tenancy after closing. You don't need to evict anyone before selling.
