What Does “As-Is” Really Mean When Selling Your House?

The truth about selling your home without repairs, showings, or stress.

If you’ve ever seen a sign or ad that says, “We buy houses as-is,” you might wonder what that really means. Is it legit? Do you still have to clean up or fix anything? What exactly is the catch?

Let’s clear it up.

What "As-Is" Really Means

Selling your home as-is means you don’t need to make any repairs, updates, or cosmetic fixes before selling. The buyer is agreeing to purchase the property in its current condition—warts and all.

That includes:

  • Foundation issues

  • Outdated interiors

  • Yard overgrowth

  • Full contents inside the house (yes, even that old couch in the garage)

What You Don’t Have to Do

When you sell as-is to a direct home buyer like True Texas Properties, you don’t have to:

  • Patch drywall

  • Replace carpet or flooring

  • Repaint walls

  • Stage the home for showings

  • Clean out furniture or personal items

We take care of all of it—so you can focus on your next chapter.

But What About the Offer?

You might wonder if an as-is sale means a lowball offer. Not with us. We base our offers on:

  • The current market value of your home after repairs (ARV)

  • Realistic renovation costs

  • No hidden fees or commissions

And we’ll walk you through how we arrived at our number—no pressure, no surprises.

Is Selling As-Is Right for You?

An as-is home sale is a great option if:

  • You’ve inherited a property you don’t want to fix up

  • You're going through a life transition (like divorce, job change, or downsizing)

  • The property needs more repairs than you want to handle

  • You are at risk of foreclosure

  • You want a fast and simple sale without the hassle
