SELLER GUIDE · 3 MINUTE READ

What selling as-is really means.

As-is is a starting point for discussing the property’s condition. The purchase agreement explains what both sides are actually agreeing to.

Ask what work is expected.

Confirm whether repairs, cleaning, or removal of belongings are expected. If the buyer agrees to take the home in its current condition, get that agreement in writing.

Separate property condition from the inspection process. Understand whether the buyer can inspect, renegotiate, or cancel under the proposed contract.

Understand your responsibilities.

Selling as-is does not automatically remove legal disclosure duties. Ask your agent or attorney which disclosures and other obligations apply to your property.

Provide accurate information about known issues so each side can evaluate the transaction.

Compare the offer with alternatives.

You can discuss listing the property as-is with an agent as well as talking with direct buyers. Preparing a home for the open market is not always the only route to a listing.

Ask what each option would require, the expected proceeds, and the conditions attached to the price.
