Sell Your House with Foundation Problems Fast, AS IS, for Cash

There are two ways you can sell your house if it has foundation problems. One of them might leave you waiting months or even years to find a buyer.

The alternative option wraps everything up in as little as 3 to 30 days after the sales contract is signed. Here’s a closer look at those choices:

The Hard Way:

Your first step involves finding a real estate agent who actually knows how to handle houses with foundation damage.

Scarcity of these agents is a real issue, since most of them steer clear of properties with structural problems - just like most buyers.

A property disclosure form needs to show every detail of the damage.

Finding potential buyers requires a solid marketing plan for the house. A series of open houses is usually part of that plan.

The search for the right buyer usually turns into a waiting game. Foundation issues often cause a house to sit on the market for a long time.

The next phase involves haggling over a sales contract with a buyer. The escrow process begins once everyone signs.

Professional inspectors will need access to the home to look around. A crew of foundation experts or contractors is pretty standard when a home has these kinds of problems.

Inspection reports almost always lead to a second round of price negotiations. Most buyers push for a lower price the moment an inspector finds something wrong.

Bank delays usually creep in while the buyer gets mortgage approval and the appraisal finishes up.

Another hurdle is waiting for the buyer to find a hazard insurance company willing to cover structural damage. A lot of insurance companies refuse to write policies for homes with these issues.

Closing the sale means signing a mountain of paperwork and losing money to agent commissions and closing costs.

A clean-out of the house is a standard practice before the new buyer gets the keys.

Generally, law requires you to be totally upfront about foundation damage when selling a house.

Likewise, you also have to be honest when selling a house with foundation repairs.

Hiding foundation damage or repairs can lead to civil penalties if the new owners find out you weren't honest with them.

Buyers can back out of the deal and keep their earnest money if they find the damage before the sale closes.

Real estate agents can also get in trouble if they know about the problem but don't tell the buyers.

These penalties could lead a Realtor to a hearing where they might lose their license or pay a big fine.

Foundation problems definitely make it a challenge to find a buyer for your house.

Fixing foundation damage is usually beyond the average buyer's skill set, and even small repairs can come with a massive price tag from a professional.

Since our team knows exactly how to handle foundation issues, we have no problem making a cash offer on a house with these types of repairs.
