We Buy Houses In Any Condition
Your house needs work. Maybe a lot of work. The roof leaks, the AC is shot, the kitchen is from 1975, and there's a crack in the foundation. You've calculated it would cost $40,000 to fix everything - money you don't have.
The traditional real estate advice is: "Fix it up to get top dollar!" But that ignores reality. You don't have $40,000. Even if you did, managing contractors for 2-3 months is exhausting. And there's no guarantee you'll recoup your investment.
There's a better option: Sell as-is to us for cash. Since 2009, we've bought hundreds of distressed properties in Phoenix, Seattle, and Spokane. We handle ALL repairs ourselves after purchase.
Properties We Buy As-Is:
✓ Foundation cracks & settling
✓ Roof damage & leaks
✓ Old HVAC systems
✓ Plumbing & electrical problems
✓ Fire & water damage
✓ Mold & termite issues
✓ Outdated kitchens & bathrooms
✓ ANY condition - seriously!
Why Homeowners Choose As-Is Sales
Can't Afford Repairs
Repairs cost $20K-50K+. You don't have that cash, and taking a loan for a house you're selling makes no sense. Sell as-is and let us handle repairs.
Don't Want the Hassle
Managing contractors is exhausting - getting quotes, scheduling work, dealing with delays, inspecting quality. You have a job and life. You don't want to become a part-time general contractor.
Need to Sell Quickly
Repairs take 2-4 months. Then you list for another 30-60 days. That's 4-6 months total. If you need to move for a job, avoid foreclosure, or just want it done, as-is sales close in 7-14 days.
Live Out of State
You inherited a house 500 miles away. Flying back repeatedly to manage renovations is impractical and expensive. Sell as-is remotely - one transaction, done.
Avoid Renovation Risk
Renovations often cost more than estimated. That $30K budget becomes $45K when you discover hidden issues. Selling as-is transfers all risk to us.
Tired of Being a Landlord
You've dealt with tenants, repairs, and headaches for years. The property needs major work. Just sell it as-is and be done with landlord life.
Real Cost Comparison: Repair vs. As-Is Sale
Let's use a real example to show why as-is sales often make financial sense:
Scenario: 3BR House in Mesa, AZ
Option 1: Fix It Up First
- Estimated retail value (repaired): $350,000
- Roof replacement: -$15,000
- HVAC replacement: -$8,000
- Kitchen/bath updates: -$18,000
- Paint & flooring: -$7,000
- Total repairs: -$48,000
- 3 months carrying costs (mortgage, utilities, insurance): -$6,000
- Realtor commission (6%): -$21,000
- Closing costs: -$3,500
- Mortgage payoff: -$200,000
- Net to seller: $71,500
- Timeline: 4-6 months
Option 2: Sell As-Is to C&D Wholesale
- Our as-is cash offer: $280,000
- Repairs needed: $0
- Commissions: $0
- Closing costs: $0 (we pay)
- Carrying costs: $0 (close in 14 days)
- Mortgage payoff: -$200,000
- Net to seller: $80,000
- Timeline: 14 days
Result: Selling as-is to us nets you $8,500 MORE than fixing it up, with zero work and 5 months faster. This is why smart homeowners sell as-is.
Common As-Is Conditions We Buy
Foundation Issues
Cracks in walls, sloping floors, doors that won't close, basement water intrusion - foundation repairs cost $10K-50K. We buy houses with foundation problems regularly and handle repairs ourselves.
Roof Damage
Missing shingles, leaks, age (15+ years), storm damage - new roofs cost $10K-20K in AZ/WA. We factor roof replacement into our offer and handle it post-purchase.
HVAC Problems
In Phoenix, a broken AC makes a house nearly uninhabitable. Replacement costs $6K-12K. In Seattle, old furnaces or heat pumps need replacement ($5K-10K). We buy houses with non-functional HVAC systems all the time.
Fire & Water Damage
House fires, burst pipes, flood damage - these create extensive repairs costing $30K-100K+. Insurance may cover some, but dealing with claims and contractors is exhausting. Sell as-is to us and move on.
Mold & Moisture Issues
Seattle's wet climate creates mold problems. Phoenix monsoons cause water intrusion. Mold remediation costs $5K-20K and scares traditional buyers. We buy houses with mold and handle professional remediation.
Outdated Everything
Original 1970s kitchen, pink bathrooms, popcorn ceilings, shag carpet - cosmetic updates cost $20K-50K and require design decisions and contractor management. Sell as-is instead.
Hoarding Situations
Some inherited properties are filled with decades of belongings, trash, and clutter. Traditional buyers won't even look at them. We buy houses with hoarding situations, handle complete cleanouts, and restore the property.
How We Calculate As-Is Offers
We use a transparent formula to calculate fair as-is offers:
- Determine After-Repair Value (ARV): We research comparable sales in your neighborhood to see what similar homes sell for in excellent condition.
- Estimate Repair Costs: We assess your property's condition and calculate accurate repair costs based on current contractor rates in Phoenix/Seattle/Spokane.
- Account for Holding Costs: Repairs take time. We factor in months of mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities while renovating.
- Include Our Profit Margin: We're a business - we need to make a profit when we resell. Typically 10-15% of ARV.
- Calculate Offer: ARV - Repair Costs - Holding Costs - Profit = Our Offer
Example Calculation:
- ARV (retail value if repaired): $400,000
- Estimated repairs: -$45,000
- Holding costs (3 months): -$6,000
- Our profit margin: -$50,000
- Our as-is cash offer: $299,000
We show you this calculation transparently so you understand exactly how we arrived at our offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does selling a house as-is mean?
Selling as-is means you sell the property in its current condition without making any repairs, updates, or improvements. The buyer accepts the property with all its flaws - broken systems, cosmetic issues, structural problems, everything.
How much less do you get for an as-is sale?
As-is sales typically sell for 10-30% below retail market value, depending on needed repairs. However, you save 6% realtor commission, repair costs ($10K-50K+), carrying costs during repairs, and avoid the risk of deals falling through. Often you net similar or more money.
Is it better to repair before selling or sell as-is?
It depends. If you have cash, time, and expertise to manage renovations profitably, repairs may net more. But if you lack funds for repairs, need to sell quickly, or don't want the hassle of contractors, selling as-is is smarter. We can help you calculate which option nets you more money.
What types of problems do you buy as-is?
We buy houses with any issues: foundation cracks, roof damage, old HVAC, plumbing problems, electrical issues, fire damage, water damage, mold, termite damage, outdated kitchens/baths, deferred maintenance, hoarding situations, and more. No problem is too big.
How fast can you buy an as-is property?
We can close in 7-14 days for as-is properties. Because we don't require financing, appraisals, or repairs, the process is much faster than traditional sales.
