Start as-is
You do not have to get the house ready before you call.
No cleanout first. No staging. No repair list from an agent. Show us the areas that can be reached safely and tell us what you know about the rest. Limited access may affect what a buyer can offer.
If a buyer makes an offer, ask whether any inspection or price-change conditions remain. The purchase agreement should spell those out before you sign.
For the complete condition-first process, read our guide to selling a house as-is.
Leaving items behind
Take what you want. Put anything left behind in writing.
Show us any furniture, appliances, clothes, basement boxes, garage tools, or other items you hope to leave. If the buyer agrees to take them, the purchase agreement should say what may stay and who is responsible for it after closing.
Take what you want to keep. Photos, jewelry, important papers, medication, and a chair you grew up with should leave with you. Do not assume other contents are included until that term is in the purchase agreement.
Condition pages
We can look at houses in many different conditions.
Decades of contents. Some homes are simply full after years of living. Start before the family finishes sorting or cleaning everything out.
House with heavy clutter. Heavy contents and blocked rooms are not an automatic no. Safe access still matters, so tell us what to expect before a visit.
Needs major repairs. Roof, foundation, plumbing, HVAC, fire, or water damage can all be considered. The written offer should reflect the condition the buyer was able to see.
Vacant property. Lapsed insurance, utilities off, years since anyone was inside. Ask the title company whether remote signing is available.
Code violations. Share open notices early so the buyer can account for them when deciding whether to make an offer.

Condition questions
Questions about selling a house as-is.
What kinds of houses can your buyers consider?
Dated, damaged, inherited, heavily cluttered, vacant, and code-violation properties can all be considered. Tell us what you know about the house. The buyer will look at condition, safe access, title, and the overall project before deciding whether to offer.
What does 'contents included' really mean?
Show us what you hope to leave. Furniture, appliances, clothes, and basement or garage contents may stay if the buyer agrees and the purchase agreement says so. Remove anything you want to keep before closing.
Can your buyers consider houses with mold or fire damage?
Houses with smoke, pet, mold, water, or fire damage can be considered. Tell us about known hazards before anyone visits. The buyer will need to consider safety, access, cleanup, and the full scope of the work.
My house has been vacant for years. Can you still buy?
Possibly. Start with the address and tell us what you know about the utilities, insurance, damage, access, title, and any local notices.
Do I have to clean out before you walk through?
No. Show the house as it stands. Blocked rooms or safety problems may limit what a buyer can see and may require another visit or affect the offer.
What if there are hazards — asbestos, lead paint, old tanks?
Tell us about known hazards before anyone visits. Older properties may need specialized testing or cleanup, and serious safety or access problems can affect whether a buyer can proceed.
Can your buyers consider houses with heavy clutter?
Yes, heavily cluttered homes can be considered. Safe access, blocked rooms, structural concerns, and biohazards all matter, so tell us what to expect before the visit.
What's the walkthrough actually like?
We will tell you who is coming before the appointment. They will look at the areas that can be reached safely and ask about the house and your timeline. You do not need to clean or stage first. If a buyer makes an offer, the agreement will name the buyer and explain whether the contract can be assigned.
