Selling a house the usual way often means repairs, cleaning, photos, showings and waiting for a buyer's loan to come through. For many people that works well. For others, the house needs more work than they want to take on, or they would simply like a simpler sale.

Selling as-is means selling the home in its current condition. Some buyers, including companies that make cash offers, look at homes this way. People consider it for many reasons: a house they inherited, a move for work, a change in the family, or a property that has become hard to keep up.

A cash offer is not right for everyone. It can come in lower than what a home might sell for on the open market after repairs, so it is worth comparing it with your other options before you decide.

Do you own the home?

Your other options

You can also talk to a local real estate agent about listing the home, or ask more than one buyer for an offer and compare them. Asking for an offer does not mean you have to accept it. Take the time you need.
