A Property That Needs Work? Let's Find a Workable Path Forward.

Major repairs, deferred maintenance, or code issues can make a home feel stuck. You have options — with or without fixing it up first — and we're here to help you see them.

Understanding your situation

You're not alone in this

A distressed property may need significant repairs, have deferred maintenance, or carry code violations. Traditional buyers often can't take on that work, but other paths exist — including an as-is sale.

Common situations homeowners face

The home needs major repairs or system replacements
Deferred maintenance has added up over years
There are code violations or failed inspection items
You don't have the time, budget, or desire to renovate
You've inherited or kept a property in poor condition

Potential options and considerations

Renovate and list

Investing in repairs can maximize a traditional sale — but it requires time, money, and coordination.

List as a 'fixer'

Marketing to buyers who take on projects is an option, though it may limit your buyer pool and price.

Resolve code issues

Addressing violations may be required before some sales, or factored into an as-is agreement.

Sell as-is to an investor

A direct as-is purchase can avoid repairs, showings, and extended timelines.

Transparent Process

Selling a severely distressed or fixer property as-is

No retail inspections where buyers demand $30,000 in roof, plumbing, or electrical concessions.
No requirement to pass traditional mortgage lender financing inspections (FHA/VA strict habitability requirements).
We purchase properties with unpermitted additions, red-tagged code violations, or significant deferred maintenance.
You don't spend a single dollar on repairs, contractor deposits, or clean-out crews before selling.

California Considerations

California Mandatory Disclosures & Health Codes

TDS (Transfer Disclosure Statement): California law requires sellers to disclose known material defects, even when selling a property 'as-is'. We work with sellers to ensure disclosures are accurate and transparent.
Unpermitted Work: In California, unpermitted square footage cannot be counted in official appraisal square footage for conventional buyers, limiting traditional buyer pools.
Substandard Building Citations: Municipal health and safety notices (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 17920.3) can result in city-imposed liens that must be paid at title closing.
