Selling a house as-is

What 'as-is' actually means, which repairs are genuinely worth making before a sale, and which ones never return what they cost.

  • Cosmetic work usually returns more than structural work
  • Disclosure obligations do not disappear in an as-is sale
  • A cleanout is rarely required for a direct purchase

Settling an inherited property

The order of operations most families miss: probate status, clearing title, insuring a vacant home, and agreeing between heirs before anyone signs.

  • Confirm who has legal authority to sell before listing or accepting an offer
  • Vacant-home insurance differs from a standard policy
  • Liens and back taxes are normally settled from the proceeds at closing

Cash offer vs. listing on the market

A fair comparison counts commissions, repairs, holding costs, concessions and time — not just the headline price.

  • Agent commissions and closing costs typically take 7–10% off a listed sale
  • Every month of holding costs erodes the gap further
  • Certainty has real value when a financed buyer can fall through

How to spot a bad buyer

Real buyers are comfortable with scrutiny. The warning signs are consistent and easy to check.

  • Never wire money or pay an upfront fee to sell your property
  • A legitimate buyer closes through a licensed title company or attorney
  • Pressure to sign immediately is the clearest red flag there is
