The house is empty. Do you have to fix it before selling?
You have moved out, but the house keeps pulling you back. There is a repair to arrange, a bill to pay or another visit to make. You don’t have to finish the repairs before speaking with us about selling. We start with the empty house as it is and work through what a sale would involve.
Do you want to spend more on repairs?
Fixing the house may be an option, but it means more than paying for materials. Someone needs to arrange access, meet contractors and check the work while the property’s bills continue.
We help you explore a sale in the current condition so you have something to compare before taking on that work. The proposal needs to make clear which repairs or removal tasks, if any, would still be yours. That lets you judge whether the sale actually solves the problem you want to leave behind.
Tell us what needs fixing
Tell us when the house was last occupied and what you know needs attention. Include improvements already completed, unfinished rooms, known water problems and any belongings left inside.
If you haven’t visited recently, say so. Older photos are a starting point, but new information may be needed. Utilities that are off and areas that cannot be safely entered are useful details to raise before arranging access.
Plan who will let us into the house
We have helped owners arrange visits and photos as part of working toward a sale. Start with who has the keys and whether someone local can help. If you have no local contact, explain that before booking travel.
We work out what we need to see and how to arrange the visit. A house doesn’t need to look like a fully repaired house for us to discuss its condition and the next step.
What this looked like after an East Point move
The East Point owners had moved to a larger home nearby. Their previous house was vacant, with bathroom work, paint, flooring and other condition concerns remaining.
We discussed the completed improvements and unfinished work, helped arrange the sale to another buyer and followed up on the costs, money the owners expected to receive and closing schedule. The sale closed March 17, 2026. Our help connected the property questions with the paperwork needed to finish the sale. Read the East Point story.
Compare selling now with making repairs first
Compare how much money you expect to receive in each case. Include the repairs you would pay for, the bills you would keep paying and the time you would spend. Mark any costs that are still estimates.
Until the sale is finished and you turn over the keys, someone still needs to look after the house and let people in for agreed visits. Tell us what has become hard to manage so we can discuss it when we review the offer.
