Many seniors and their families do not have the time or money to prepare a home for sale, then wait 3 to 6 months to finally receive their money. In this time sensitive period, seniors can opt to sell their home privately in "AS IS" condition as a quick and efficient way to release the equity in their home.
Some advantages of a private sale are:

  1. No home sale preparation expenses
  2. No strangers in your house wasting your time
  3. No real estate agents and their high commissions
  4. No contingencies
  5. No repairs
  6. No inspections
  7. No waiting for a buyer
  8. NO HASSELS

The private sale ensures your money is in your hands quickly. Simply sell the house and move with your money in hand. Selling the home in "AS IS" condition means that you can take treasured mementos and/or furniture and leave everything you don't want behind. No need to keep your home clean and uncluttered for nosey neighbors and potential buyers. No need to paint the interior and exterior, or remediate lead paint or asbestos problems, or repair broken fixtures and other things. Selling your home "AS IS " can guarantee a stress-free sale.
