Start with the home you have today
Tell us what you know about the condition of the property. A dated kitchen, a project you paused, or an older heating system can all help us understand what to factor into a possible offer. You can start before scheduling contractors or collecting estimates.
Compare the cost of repairs with a direct offer
Write down what you would have to spend to prepare the home for a listing, how long that work might take, and what it would cost to carry the property during that time. Use those numbers when you compare offers and timelines.
Common question
Can I ask about a house that still needs to be cleared out?
Yes. Tell us what is still in the house and ask what would need to be removed before closing. Put any agreement about items left behind in writing.
