Is It Possible to Sell Your House As-Is?

It’s typical to spend some time and money on getting your home in better shape once you’ve decided to sell it. Often, such efforts require a considerable amount of both, though that certainly does vary from house to house. But what about those people who may not have the time or money to spend fixing every little problem there is? Could it be possible to simply sell the house as-is? As it turns out, the answer is yes.

Determine What a Fair Price Is

There is a litany of factors that go into what is considered a fair price for a house. The condition it is in is one such factor. If you intend to sell your house as-is, you shouldn’t expect a fair price to be the same as what a fair price would be for the same home in better condition. You should expect a fair price for a house with damage to be lower. Look at what homes in similar condition are selling for to get an idea of what a fair price for your house might be.

Find a Buyer Who Doesn’t Mind a Project

When a buyer purchases a house as-is, they should be doing so with the understanding that they’ll need to put some work into the house to get it in ideal condition. Because of this, the ideal buyer for an as-is home sale is one that doesn’t mind a project. Fortunately, Minnesota Home Guys is just such a buyer. We buy homes in a variety of conditions, and we certainly don’t mind a project.

Close the Deal

Here’s the tricky part: closing the deal on an as-is house. Hopefully by this point you’ve found a buyer who’s going to see the deal through. Sales can always fall through, which can be tough for a homeowner who needs to sell their house with as little hassle and as quickly as possible. Again, that’s where Minnesota Home Guys comes in. We stand by every cash offer we make. If we make you a cash offer, you can trust that we’ll close the deal with you.

Selling your house as-is may seem like a daunting prospect, especially during times when the market is competing for buyers. Still, if you can determine a fair price for the house, find a buyer who doesn’t mind a project, and close the deal, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to sell as-is. Selling as-is to a cash buyer may be easier than you ever thought possible. Be sure to consider all your options carefully so you can make the choice that works best for you.

Yes, absolutely. While we’re based in the Twin Cities, we buy houses all across Minnesota. Whether your property is in the suburbs, rural areas, or small towns, we’re interested. Submit your address and we’ll let you know how we can help.

We consider several factors when making an offer, including your home’s condition, recent comparable sales in the area, market trends, and any necessary repairs. Our goal is to provide you with a fair and competitive offer based on real market data.

No! We buy houses in any condition, whether they need minor updates or major repairs. You won’t have to spend a dime on renovations, inspections, or cleaning—we handle everything.

If your home is in foreclosure, we may still be able to buy it and help you avoid a full foreclosure process. The sooner you reach out, the more options we have to help. Contact us today to discuss your situation.

No, you will not be “listed” and waiting for a buyer – we are direct home buyers, not an agent offering to list your home and hope it sells. That means you don’t have to worry about showings, commissions, or waiting for the right buyer. We buy homes with cash, allowing for a fast and hassle-free closing.

Yes! If you’re a landlord with problem tenants or an unwanted rental property, we can make you a fair cash offer. You don’t have to wait for a lease to end—we buy properties with tenants still in place. “Tired landlord” is one of the most common situations we see.

We buy single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes, multi-family properties, and even vacant land. If you’re unsure whether your property qualifies, just reach out to us!

Closing speed is based on your timeline. If you want to close fast, we can do that! If you need time, we can do that too!

Here’s how it works: Once you accept and sign our offer, we order the abstract update and a title opinion. If any title defects are found, we work with you to resolve them. Once the title is cleared, we set a closing date and begin preparing the legal closing documents. Closing date is typically 2-4 weeks from the time the offer is signed, but if you are in a hurry please call (952) 222-7138 and we can expedite the process!

When you choose to sell your property to us, we will cover the abstract update, title opinion, transfer tax, as well as closing costs. You will only be responsible to pay property tax up to the date of sale and any liens.

We guarantee closing on every offer we make. This is easily done because our team gets to know the seller, researches the property, understands current market trends, and has cash ready to close.

Yes! If your home is listed with a real estate agent, you’re still welcome to submit it to us for a cash offer. Keep in mind that if it’s under contract or you have listing obligations, you may need to coordinate with your agent—but we’re happy to work with listed properties.

Nope! One of the benefits of selling to Minnesota Home Guys is that you don’t need to lift a finger. You can leave behind furniture, trash, old appliances—whatever you don’t want to deal with. We’ll take care of everything after closing. Just take what you want and leave the rest.

Our cash offer is guaranteed as long as everything we discussed about your property checks out. The only time the offer would change is if we discover something unexpected during the title process—like a hidden lien, unpaid property taxes, or a contractor bill that wasn’t disclosed. We’re always upfront and transparent, and if something like this does come up, we’ll talk it through with you.
