Common reasons homeowners contact us

Different homes. Different reasons for selling.

Homeowners contact us for many reasons. Here are a few common ones.

01

Home needs work

The home needs repairs or updates, and you are not sure which ones are worth doing before you sell.

02

Inherited home

You inherited a home and need to decide whether to keep it, fix it up, or sell it.

03

Rental home

You are ready to sell a rental and need to think through the tenant, the condition of the home, and your timing.

How it works

Start with what you know about the home.

You do not need to have everything figured out. Tell us what you know, and we can take it from there.

  1. Tell us about the home
    Share the address, when you hope to sell, and anything else that may be important.
  2. Look at its condition
    Consider the roof, AC, plumbing, electrical system, repairs, updates, and cleanup.
  3. Compare your options
    See how selling as-is compares with making repairs and listing the home on the MLS.

Know the difference

Sell as-is or prepare your home for the MLS?

Online home estimates can be useful, but they do not always reflect the actual condition of a home. The age of the roof and AC, plumbing and electrical issues, needed repairs, outdated areas, and cleanup can all affect what a buyer is willing to pay.

A home that needs work may sell for less today than it could after that work is completed. The important question is whether spending the time and money on those repairs makes sense for you.

Older Florida homes may also have roof, electrical, plumbing, or AC issues that can affect a buyer’s ability to obtain homeowners insurance.

Selling as-is

Sell the home in its current condition without making many of the repairs or updates that might be needed for a retail sale. You may save time and avoid paying for work upfront. In return, a buyer will usually consider the cost and risk of that work when deciding what they can pay.

Listing on the MLS

You can work with a real estate agent to market the home to retail buyers through the MLS. Depending on the home, you may decide to make repairs, updates, or other improvements before listing. A retail sale can also involve agent compensation, closing costs, inspections, buyer financing, and more time before closing. Doing that work may help you pursue a higher sale price, but the higher price does not automatically mean you will keep more money after all of the costs.

Look at what you keep—not just the sale price.

A higher sale price can be attractive, but repairs, improvements, selling costs, and the time it takes to sell can affect the final result. For some homeowners, doing the work and listing on the MLS makes sense. For others, selling as-is may be the better fit.
