Selling a house that needs repairs
Old roof, bad foundation, water damage. You do not have to fix it beforehand, and you do not have to apologize for it.
Can I sell my house as-is in Minnesota?
Yes. Selling as-is means the buyer takes the house in its current condition. Minnesota does require sellers to disclose known material problems, so be honest about what you know. A direct buyer like us expects repairs and prices them in.
Do I need a housing inspection before I sell?
It depends on the city. Minneapolis requires a Truth in Sale of Housing report before a sale, and some suburbs, like Bloomington and Richfield, have time-of-sale rules too. Others do not. Check with your city or a title company, because it can change how you sell.
Do I have to fix things before selling?
No. We buy houses in any condition. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging. We look at the house, price the work into our offer, and you decide whether the number makes sense.
Will I get less than a fully fixed-up house?
Probably, yes, because someone has to pay for the work. But repairs cost money and time up front, and may not pay back. Compare a fixed-up listing against a direct offer before choosing.
What kinds of damage do you buy?
Foundation trouble, roof leaks, water or fire damage, old systems, hoarding, and outdated houses. If you are not sure whether yours qualifies, tell us what is wrong and we will give you a straight answer either way.
Want to know what we would pay?
Tell us the address and the situation. It costs nothing and you are never obligated to take the number.
