As-is · Houston, TX

Sell your house as-is in Houston — exactly as it is today.

As-is means you don't fix, clean, paint, or replace anything. It doesn't mean hiding problems; Texas still requires a seller's disclosure. Here's how both work together.

Definition

What “as-is” means in a Texas sale

Selling as-is means the buyer accepts the property in its present condition and you aren't obligated to make repairs. The standard Texas residential contract already sells property “as is” by default, with the buyer given an option period to inspect and walk away. In a traditional sale, buyers use that inspection to renegotiate. With us, the walkthrough happens before the offer, so the number you see already accounts for condition.

As-is does not remove the duty to disclose. Texas Property Code §5.008 requires most sellers of a single-family home to complete a Seller's Disclosure Notice covering what they know about the property — including flooding, foundation repairs, and known defects. We'll ask you the same questions, and honest answers protect you.

Pricing

How condition affects an as-is offer

Our offer starts with what a renovated version of your house would sell for on your street, then subtracts the cost of getting it there. A house that needs paint and carpet loses far less than one that needs a foundation and a roof — but even major repairs are just line items, not deal-breakers. On the walkthrough we note what we see, and we'll show you the estimate we used.

What we don't do is price low and then “find” problems later. If something wasn't visible — say, a slab leak — we'll tell you exactly what changed and why.

Houston specifics

As-is issues common in Harris County homes

Foundation movement

Expansive clay soil makes slab movement common across the Houston area. Cracks, sticking doors, and uneven floors are routine for us.

Water intrusion and past flooding

Prior flooding — repaired or not — is something we buy through. It affects value, so we'll ask about history and any claims.

Aging systems

Original electrical panels, galvanized plumbing, and old HVAC don't need to be replaced before you sell.

Roof and storm damage

Hail, wind, and tree damage, including open or denied insurance claims.

Termites and wood rot

Common in Houston's humidity. We factor treatment and repair into the offer.

Code violations and unpermitted additions

Houston has no traditional zoning but does enforce building codes and deed restrictions. We take on resolving these after closing.

FAQ

Questions Houston homeowners ask

Do I still have to fill out a seller's disclosure if I sell as-is?

In most cases, yes. Texas law requires the Seller's Disclosure Notice for most single-family home sales regardless of condition, with limited exceptions such as some estate and foreclosure transfers. It's about what you know, not a guarantee of condition.

Will you buy a house that's been condemned or has a demolition order?

Possibly — it depends on the property and the order. Submit the address and tell us what you know; we'll be straightforward about whether it's something we can take on.

Can I leave furniture and junk behind?

Yes. Take what you want and we'll handle the rest after closing.

Does as-is mean I'll get a lowball offer?

It means the offer reflects the house's current condition. A house that needs little work gets an offer that reflects that; a house that needs a lot gets one that reflects that too. Either way we show you the math.
