When you sell a home as is, the buyer will purchase and take ownership of the property in its present condition — flaws and all. In most cases, the process can be done quickly and with no need to make repairs or improvements before the sale. This convenient method allows you to avoid the headache of dealing with a contractor and renovating the home while you are still living there.

Plus, an as-is home sale often attracts cash buyers. A cash deal is typically much quicker and more straightforward than a standard sale because it bypasses the mortgage approval process, realtors and most additional fees. As the seller, you get paid faster and avoid many legal issues since the buyer assumes all liability.

Take the hassle out of selling your home — Swift Homes purchases houses AS IS nationwide and can typically close within 10 days. We pay cash and will handle any needed repairs.

WHAT DOES AS IS MEAN? 

A home listed as is means the property can be in poor condition, but the seller is not expected to make renovations or aesthetic changes. This can save the seller from tasks such as painting, replacing carpet, fixing roofs or repairing the plumbing. If you list a house as is, you do not have to be concerned with:

• Commission fees
• Closing costs
• Inspection fees
• Repair expenses
• Pricey real estate agents

Selling a home as is circumvents the complexity of an uncertain housing market, which can involve weeks of waiting, negotiating and anxiety. This type of transaction is often protected by a contract, which ensures that the buyer understands what he or she is getting into and is willing to accept the risks.

Whether you are facing a tough situation or just craving the convenience of no showings, no listings and no brokerage fees, Swift Homes is the company that can help you. Any homeowner looking to sell quickly at a fair and competitive price can benefit from partnering with us. While we specialize in single-family homes, we will also work with condos, multi-family homes and commercial properties.

WHY SELL AS IS? 

Many homeowners might choose to sell a property as is due to a special situation or life change. If people are faced with difficult circumstances, they may not be able to afford the necessary repairs or may not have the emotional energy to deal with a renovation. In some cases, an owner may need to sell quickly in order to avoid foreclosure. 

If a person is selling a house in poor condition, it may not do well on the open market. For this reason, the homeowner may look for a cash buyer who can purchase the property as is. Circumstances that might prompt someone to sell as is include: 

• Divorce
• Tax lien
• Bankruptcy
• Heath conditions
• Financial hardship
• Time constraints
• Career relocation
• Death of a loved one
• Unwanted property inheritance
• Prohibitive mortgage payments

Whatever the reason, it is easy to understand why some owners would be willing to sell a home below its potential market value, as they are able to avoid the hassle of a traditional sale. Many investors, such as Swift Homes, will offer a fair and competitive cash offer and work with sellers to close quickly. 

HOW CAN I SELL MY HOUSE AS IS?

Traditional real estate sales can take months or even years in some cases. When you list a home as is, however, the process is usually fast and efficient. Once you have decided to sell your property as is, follow these steps for a quick transaction:

1. Contact us. Give us a call and tell us about your home. Answer a few questions and we will prepare a proposal.
2. Get a cash offer. One of our experienced investors will research the value of comparable homes sold recently in your area. Then, you should receive a competitive cash offer for the house.
3. Complete your home assessment. A member of our team will schedule a convenient time to evaluate the current condition of your property. If there are any repairs needed, a Swift team member will reach out to discuss a repair credit.
4. Close and receive cash payment. Get the cash you need and the equity out of your home as quickly as possible. Typically, you can choose the closing date — if you need a fast deal, we can close in as little as 10 days.
