Do I need to make repairs to sell my house is the question that comes up most often in Sappington, and the answer depends entirely on which buyer you are aiming at. On the open market, a buyer using a bank loan brings an appraiser and an underwriter, and neither will fund a house with a failing roof, active leaks or an electrical panel that has been flagged. In that lane repairs are not optional, they are the price of admission. The other lane is a cash sale, where you can sell a house without repairs because nobody is asking a bank for permission and the condition shows up in the price instead of on a punch list. Between those two extremes, most St. Louis County sellers overspend. Cosmetic work rarely returns its cost once you count the months of holding time, and a full kitchen or bathroom in a 1950s Sappington ranch almost never does. What tends to earn its keep is small, cheap and visible: a working furnace, gutters that drain away from the foundation, no obvious water in the basement. Everything past that is a judgement call about your time and your cash. If you would rather skip the question altogether, see how we buy houses, or read what one out-of-state seller did when the repair list got long. For a middle path, here is how to sell a house without spending a dime. Chris's team holds a 4.9 rating across 368 Google reviews and will not rush your decision.
One of those is that the house is rundown and in dis-repair and they just don't have the time or money to make the repairs needed to be able to sell it quickly on the open market with a real estate agent.
But here's the "official" reason we'll purchase property for cash in any condition in and around the Sappington, MO market (including other cities in Missouri).
Why Cash House Buyers In Sappington, MO Will Buy A House "As-Is"
Since we purchase homes with cash and don't need to get bank approval, we have the flexibility to purchase local MO homes in any condition. Normally traditional banks won't finance a house if it's in disrepair. They see it as a risk and won't lend on the normal "fixer-upper" house. That leaves a lot of homeowners in our area without a good option to sell the house because 95% of the buyer pool has to get a traditional loan to buy a house.
That's where we come in.
