Sell Your Fixer the Smart Way

Selling a home that needs work? You don’t have to settle for a lowball investor offer. Whether your property is outdated, in rough shape, or you just don’t have the time or budget to fix it up, you still have options—better options than most people realize.

You Don’t Need to Sell Off-Market

Many sellers are told that a “fixer” won’t qualify for financing, and that only cash buyers will consider it. The truth is, even homes in poor condition can often be sold to financed buyers, especially with the right listing strategy. Yes, cash investors are fast—but that speed comes at a cost. Most off-market offers leave tens of thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of dollars on the table. I’ve seen it firsthand.

Real Case Study: $779,000 vs. $580,000

One of my clients had a fixer that most agents would’ve listed as “cash only.” The sellers were ready to accept an offer in the high $500,000s. Instead, I listed the home publicly, marketed it aggressively, and welcomed both cash and financed offers. We received multiple bids. A financed buyer, eager to buy in that price range, agreed to complete the lender-required repairs themselves as part of the deal. Final sale price: $779,000. No clean-out. No major repairs. Just the right marketing and strategy.

You Have More Control Than You Think

I specialize in helping sellers of fixer properties:

Sell as-is, without expensive prep or renovations
Maximize market exposure to real buyers, not just investors
Leverage buyer competition to drive higher offers
Navigate financed offers—even for properties others say can’t qualify
