Selling a home that needs work

Sell as-is, or fix a little first?

See what your home could sell for as it stands, and what it could bring with a few targeted fixes. You choose.

  • Repairs, estates, rentals, or no time to fix it up
  • A value range based on real local sales, within 24 hours
  • Repair estimates through The Remodeling Authority, where I’m a project consultant

Start with the property address

Start typing, then pick your address from the list.

Free, with no obligation to list. I check real local sales by hand before sending a number.

Your options

Three ways to sell a home that needs work

Sell as-is on the market

List it in its current condition and let buyers price in the work. Often the simplest path.

Fix a few things first

Targeted repairs or updates can raise what buyers will pay. I help you weigh the cost against the gain.

Sell to an investor

Fastest and least hassle, usually for a lower price. I can show you how an offer compares to listing.

“Chris is friendly and works exclusively for you. He did a great job at helping me set a value & kept me updated through the process. My home was unique and in a rural area. Chris saw the potential & had it sold within a few days, above asking. He exceeded my expectations as a listing agent.”

Questions about selling as-is

Is this an appraisal?

No. It’s a comparative market analysis: I look at recent sales of similar homes near you and give you a realistic price range. An appraisal is a separate report done by a licensed appraiser, usually for a lender.

Do I have to list with you?

No. The value range is free and there’s no obligation. If you want to talk next steps, I’m happy to. If not, you still keep the numbers.

I’m not ready to sell yet. Should I still ask?

Yes. Plenty of people want a number for planning a year or two out, refinancing, or just curiosity. Tell me your timeline and I’ll respect it.

How is this different from an online estimate?

Online estimates are built by a computer from public records. I pick the sales that actually compare to your home and adjust for what a computer can’t see, like updates and condition. Once I see the house, the number gets even tighter.

Do I have to make repairs before selling?

No. Many homes sell as-is. I’ll show you what the house could sell for both ways so you can decide if any work is worth it.

Rather just talk it through?

Call or text me. I’ll answer your questions, no pressure.
