What does selling a house "as-is" actually mean?

Selling a house as-is means you sell it in its current condition. You make no repairs and do no cleaning, and the price reflects the shape the house is in. The buyer accepts the home exactly as it stands and takes on the work themselves after closing.

In plain terms, as-is means what you see is what you get, for the buyer. You are not promising the roof is sound or the furnace works. You are telling buyers up front: this is the house, this is its condition, and I am not fixing anything before we close. A cash buyer like us is built for exactly that. We expect houses that need work, we price for it honestly, and we do the repairs ourselves once the house is ours.

Any condition

However your house looks right now, we've bought one like it.

You do not need to be embarrassed by the state of the house. Peeling paint, a dated kitchen, water damage, a home full of things left behind: we have seen it, and we have bought it. None of it disqualifies you.

Peeling paint, an overgrown yard, a house that looks rough from the street. Still one we buy.

The question everyone asks

Does "as-is" just mean you lowball me for the condition?

It is a fair worry. "We account for condition" can be code for "we mark you way down." Here is how we make sure our offer is honest, not a discount dressed up as a repair estimate.

01

We start from what it's worth fixed.

Every offer begins with what your house would sell for fully repaired, using real, recent sales near you. That is the ceiling, and every honest number starts there, not from a formula built to grind you down.

02

We subtract the real cost of the work.

Then we take out what the repairs actually cost us to do, plus our margin, and we show you those numbers. No vague "condition adjustment," just the honest cost of the roof, the kitchen, and the rest.

03

We tell you if listing beats selling to us.

If the house needs so little that listing it as-is with an agent would put more money in your pocket, we will say so, even though it means we do not buy it. Your best move matters more than our next deal.

What we take off your plate

The whole point of as-is is you stop dealing with the house.

Selling the traditional way, even "as-is," still lands a long list of work on you. Sell to us and all of it goes away.

You hand us the keys and the mess. That is the deal.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

Whatever shape the house is in, the path forward is the same simple one. Most as-is sales go from first call to closing in two to four weeks, though we always move at the pace that's right for you.

i

Tell us about the house.

Call, text, or fill out the form. Tell us where it is and roughly what shape it's in. You don't need to fix or explain anything.

ii

We do our homework.

We research the property, run comparable sales nearby, and take a quick look, usually within 48 hours. We see houses that need work all the time. Yours won't surprise us.

iii

You get an honest offer.

A written, no-obligation cash offer with the condition already accounted for, and we walk you through exactly how we got to the number.

iv

You close on your timeline.

Two weeks or two months, your call. Leave what you don't want, we handle the paperwork, and we cover the closing costs.

Two ways to sell as-is

Listing "as-is" and selling as-is are not the same thing.

You can put an as-is house on the open market. But "as-is" on a listing does not stop the repairs, the inspections, or the deals that fall through. Here is the honest difference.

Listing "as-is" with an agent

Still your problem
  • Agents still push you to make repairs to attract buyers
  • Buyers still order inspections and ask for price credits
  • A buyer's lender can require repairs before it will fund
  • Deals fall through and you start over
  • You still pay commissions and some closing costs
  • It can sit on the market for weeks or months

Selling as-is to Deep Roots

Our problem now
  • We expect the condition. No repair requests.
  • No inspection contingency to blow up the sale
  • We pay cash, so no lender condition rules
  • One offer, one closing, on the date you pick
  • No commissions, no closing costs to you
  • Close in about two to four weeks

Questions about selling as-is

Straight answers, no spin.

What does selling a house as-is mean? +

Selling a house as-is means you sell it in its current condition. You make no repairs and do no cleaning, and the price reflects the shape the house is in. The buyer accepts the home exactly as it stands and takes on the work themselves after closing.

Can I sell a house that needs major repairs? +

Yes. We buy houses that need everything from minor cosmetic updates to a full renovation, including homes with roof, foundation, plumbing, or electrical problems. You do not fix a thing. We factor the real cost of the repairs into a fair written offer and handle all of the work after closing.

Do I have to clean the house out or haul away what's left? +

No. Take whatever you want to keep and leave the rest, including furniture, belongings, and anything left behind by a previous owner or tenant. We clear the house out ourselves after closing. You do not need to clean, stage, or haul anything away.

Will you buy a house with fire, water, or mold damage? +

Yes. Fire, water, storm, and mold damage are exactly the kind of condition an as-is cash sale is built for. We assess the damage, price the repair honestly, and buy the house as-is. You do not need to remediate anything before we close.

Is selling as-is just a lowball? +

No, and here is how we prove it. Every offer starts from what your house would sell for fully repaired, using recent comparable sales near you. From there we subtract the real cost of the work the home needs, and we show you those numbers line by line. If listing the house with an agent would truly net you more, we tell you so.

Do I still need a home inspection to sell as-is? +

Not when you sell to us. We are the buyer, we pay cash, and we accept the house in its current condition, so there is no inspection contingency that can fall apart and kill the sale. On the open market, even an as-is listing usually still involves a buyer's inspection and can involve a lender that requires repairs.

How fast can I sell my house as-is in Maryland? +

Most as-is sales go from first call to closing in about two to four weeks, and we can sometimes move faster when there is a deadline. Because we pay cash and skip the repairs, showings, and financing, there is very little to slow the sale down. You also choose the closing date, so if you need more time, we wait for you.
