Posted on August 9, 2011Comments Off on Sell a House as is

When you sell a house as is, it means that what you see in the house—is what you are buying. This also means that the seller has no plans to clean, fix up or repair any damages or flaws that exist in the home. There are times and situations when sell house “as is” is good; however there are times when a selling “as is” is not a good option.

Buying a House as is

Buying a “house as is” doesn’t mean that the buyer gets what he or she “can’t” see. The seller must always give a complete disclosure. A complete disclosure is required. When you sell a house as is it refers to the warranty. What this means is if you sell “as is” but don’t disclose all of the problems and defects of the home, you can be held responsible and that could mean that you will have to pay for all repair projects of any and all undisclosed defects. If there is any doubt when you want to sell house, seek help from a realtor or attorney.

A major advantage of selling a home “as is” is that the seller doesn’t have to deal with certain problems or high fees in selling his or her home. And this method of selling a home attracts many buyers.

To sell house “as is” you need to perform certain steps such as:

 Talk with your real estate agent and tell him or her that you want to sell your home “as is.” Be sure to tell him or her that you want your property listed “as is.”
 Then, be sure to state in the purchase contract that your home is being sold “as is.” There may be warranties in your contract that need to be deleted. You may want to discuss this point with a lawyer to ensure that it is done correctly.
 Next, disclose any defects that you know about concerning your home and property.
 Make sure that the buyer of your home performs inspections on the property.
 And, always ask for references during this process.
