Looking to sell a house as-is in Texas? Whether you\u2019ve got a fixer-upper or recently inherited a relative\u2019s home, sometimes the goal is to skip repairs, get a fair offer, and move on.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if sellers think their house isn\u2019t ready, there are ways to get it right for selling if they want to sell,\u201d says Kelley Martin<\/a>, a top real estate agent in San Antonio<\/a> who sells homes 52% quicker than the average area agent.<\/p>\n

However, selling a house as-is usually means accepting a lower offer<\/a>, and it doesn\u2019t always prevent buyers from trying to negotiate savings. Let\u2019s take a closer look at how to sell a house as-is in Texas, your options for getting an offer, and what to expect from the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is as-is condition in real estate?<\/h2>\n

As-is<\/a> is a type of home sale where it\u2019s understood that no improvements will be made to the property. When selling a house as-is, the seller is choosing not to entertain requests from buyers to complete repairs or provide a credit for fixes.<\/p>\n

An as-is sale may also indicate that the functionality and longevity of certain components of the home, such as a stove on its last legs or an older roof, is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n

When selling a house as-is, the general condition of the property should already be accounted for in the purchase price of the home to the best of the seller\u2019s knowledge.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Which types of homes are sold as-is?<\/h2>\n

Homes sold as-is often need some work or may be cosmetically outdated. It\u2019s not a label you\u2019re likely to put on a listing in pristine, move-in-ready condition.<\/p>\n

As-is sales often attract investors<\/a> searching for their next flip or buyers seeking a bargain, perhaps on a home in a great location with lots of potential.<\/p>\n

Martin says that buyers often wish to sell their homes as-is when they don\u2019t have the money to make necessary repairs<\/a> or upgrades, or they don\u2019t want to deal with working with contractors.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

What problems do you have to disclose in Texas?<\/h2>\n

Selling a house as-is in Texas doesn\u2019t mean sweeping known problems about the house under the rug.<\/p>\n

A good time to fill out the Texas Seller\u2019s Disclosure Notice<\/a> is prior to listing your home or requesting an offer so that you know it\u2019s taken care of.<\/p>\n

According to the document, any owner of a residential property comprised of a single dwelling unit must disclose basic information before selling.<\/p>\n

The form will walk you through documenting what you know about the specific features present in your home and their conditions, the overall condition of your home, and any problems you\u2019re aware of.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also be prompted to fill out information about the presence of smoke detectors; defects in the roof, walls, doors, and other features; known termite<\/a> and fire damage; and any previous flooding or flood insurance.<\/p>\n

No matter what method you choose to sell your home, you\u2019re required to make these disclosures to the best of your ability. Texas does not allow<\/a> for certain exceptions for sellers if they don\u2019t live in the home. However, the state does exempt sellers<\/a> from completing a disclosure notice if the sale is court-ordered, the home is going back to the lender due to foreclosure<\/a>, or is part of an estate or trust settlement. There may also be other exemptions, so contact a local real estate attorney<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
