Thinking about selling a house \u201cas is\u201d in Denver? Maybe it\u2019s a fixer-upper you don\u2019t want to tackle or a home you\u2019ve recently inherited and need to part with quickly. In these cases, skipping repairs and moving straight to an offer can be the easiest path forward.<\/p>\n

An as-is sale means the seller puts the home on the market exactly as it stands, with no plans to make improvements. The seller also declines requests from buyers for repairs or credits.<\/p>\n

This type of sale often signals that certain features \u2014 like an older roof or a stove that\u2019s wearing out \u2014 may not last much longer.<\/p>\n

In an as-is deal, the seller factors the property\u2019s overall condition into the asking price upfront, based on what they know about the home.
