Selling as-is means exactly what it says: you sell the property in its current condition without making any repairs or improvements. This guide covers what as-is selling really means, who it's best for, and how it compares to a traditional sale.
Read the GuideSelling a house "as-is" means the seller makes no repairs, offers no warranties, and the buyer accepts the property in its current condition — known defects and all. In Michigan, sellers must still disclose known material defects via the Seller's Disclosure Statement, but they're not required to fix anything. As-is sales are common in three scenarios: selling to a cash buyer/investor, selling an estate property, or selling a home where the cost of repairs outweighs the potential increase in sale price.
Listing as-is with an agent still typically requires a home that's presentable enough to attract buyers. An as-is MLS listing signals "this house needs work" and will attract bargain hunters — often at lower prices than expected. Selling directly to a cash buyer like Maverick Integrity Group is a different model: we evaluate the property honestly, present a fair offer based on its current condition and after-repair value, and close quickly. No MLS, no showings, no waiting.
Roof leaks, broken HVAC, outdated everything — we buy it all. You don't lift a finger to fix anything.
Save 6% in agent fees. The offer we present is the amount you receive — no deductions for commission.
We don't ask you to warrant anything about the property. We buy it knowing we're taking on all the risk.
Standard Michigan purchase agreement, handled by a title company. Clean, straightforward, no surprises.
Yes — Michigan law requires sellers to complete a Seller's Disclosure Statement listing known material defects. Selling as-is doesn't relieve you of this obligation. However, when selling to us, there's no concern about "scaring off" a buyer — we expect issues and our offer accounts for them. Honest disclosure is always the right approach.
Your offer will reflect the property's current condition. But consider the full picture: a traditional sale requires repairs, agent commissions (6%), closing costs (~2%), and months of carrying costs. On a $200,000 home needing $40,000 in work, you'd spend approximately $40,000 (repairs) + $12,000 (commission) + $4,000 (closing) = $56,000 to net $144,000 — after months of work. A cash as-is offer that nets $130,000-$140,000 with zero work and a 7-day close is often the smarter financial move.
Yes. The mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing — just like any home sale. As long as the sale price covers the mortgage balance, you're fine. If you owe more than the home is worth (underwater), we can discuss short sale options with your lender.
We buy all types: single-family homes, condos, townhouses, multi-family properties, and vacant land. We buy in any condition — from move-in ready to complete tear-downs. We buy in all Michigan markets — from Detroit and Grand Rapids to rural townships and everything in between.
Zero. We evaluate your property and present a fair cash offer. You're under no obligation to accept. If the offer doesn't work for you, there's no pressure, no follow-up harassment, and no cost. We want you to make the decision that's right for you — even if that means not selling to us.
