Looking to sell a house \u201cas is\u201d in Rhode Island? Whether you\u2019ve got a fixer-upper <\/a>or recently inherited a relative\u2019s home<\/a>, sometimes the goal is to skip repairs, get a fair offer, and move on. It\u2019s much more common than you might think.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most common request I get for as-is sales [is from] situations where a house is in significant disrepair. A seller [who] just doesn’t want to make repairs and wants to sell the house as-is,\u201d says Connor Dowd<\/a>, a top-performing Rhode Island agent<\/a> with 26 years of experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other case is when someone has passed away, and the family is selling the property. In some cases, the family doesn’t want to deal with making repairs or fixing anything. Those are the two types of situations in which I typically see a request for an as-is sale,\u201d Connor adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs is\u201d is a type of home sale where it\u2019s understood that no improvements will be made to the property. The seller chooses not to entertain buyers’ requests to complete repairs or provide credit for fixes.<\/p>\n
