How to Sell a House That Needs Major Repairs
When a house needs major work — roof, foundation, systems — the cost to make it “market ready” can be out of reach. The good news: you don’t always have to fix it to sell it. Here’s how.
The problem with the open market
Traditional buyers usually want move-in-ready homes, and their lenders may refuse to finance a house with serious issues. That narrows your buyer pool sharply for a home needing major repairs.
Selling as-is
An as-is sale to a direct buyer skips the repairs entirely — the buyer takes the property in its current condition. JCi buys property in any condition, nationwide, including homes needing significant work. We’ll be upfront about what that looks like for your house.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell a house without making repairs?
Yes — an as-is sale to a direct buyer is designed exactly for that. We consider property in any condition.
What kinds of damage do you consider?
A wide range — from cosmetic to major structural. Tell us about it and we’ll respond honestly about whether it’s a fit.
Will I get less for an as-is house?
An as-is price reflects the needed work, so it differs from a fully renovated sale. The trade-off is speed and not spending on repairs yourself.
