Why big repairs stall a normal sale
Most buyers use a loan, and lenders won't lend on a house with serious safety or structural problems. That shrinks your buyer pool to people paying cash, and it usually means repairs before you can list at all.
How we price the repairs
Eddie walks the house and prices the work the way a builder does, because he's the one who plans it. That repair figure is part of the offer math we show you, line by line if you want it.
Common problems we buy
- Roofs at the end of their life, and the water damage that follows
- Foundation settling and cracked or bowing walls
- Outdated electrical, plumbing and HVAC
- Fire, flood or storm damage
- Houses that have sat empty for years
Code violations
If the city has cited the property, we can still buy it. Show us the notice, and we'll factor it into the offer.
Questions people ask
Do you really buy houses as-is in Paducah?
Yes. We buy houses in Paducah and across McCracken County in the condition they're in today, whether that's an old roof, foundation trouble, water damage or years of deferred maintenance. You don't need to clean, repair or stage anything before we walk through it.
How do you come up with your cash offer?
We start with what the house would sell for once it's fixed up, based on recent sales of similar Paducah homes. Then we subtract what the repairs will cost, which Eddie prices during the walkthrough, and our costs to buy, hold and resell the house. What's left is our offer, and we'll walk you through the numbers so you can see how we got there.
How soon will I get an offer?
Within 24 hours of the walkthrough. Most walkthroughs take about 30 minutes, and we schedule them around you.
Should I sell to a cash buyer or list with a real estate agent?
If your house is in good shape and you can wait for the right buyer, listing with a local agent will usually get you a higher price. A cash sale makes more sense when the house needs work a buyer's lender won't accept, when you need a set closing date, or when you'd rather skip repairs, showings and open houses. If we think listing is the better move for you, we'll say so.
