Radnor Home Sellers: Don’t Want to Put in the Work? We Can Help

There is a lot of work that goes into selling a house.  Radnor home sellers usually spends weeks or even months prepping their home to sell.  From cleaning to making repairs the to-do list is never-ending.

A Radnor homeowner without the time or patience for prepping their home to sell should consider selling “as is.” Selling as is cuts out a lot of the work needed if the Radnor homeowner is willing to sell for a reasonable price to the right buyer.

How to Advertise

Never attempt to sell a Radnor house as-is without letting the buyers know.  Using these words in the description of the house will alert buyers that there is work to be done on the property.  Buyers that have no interest in putting in that kind of work will steer clear. While those that are looking for such a house are going to flock to see the inside.

When listing the Radnor home consider the repairs that do need to be made.  While fixing that roof does not need to be completed by the current homeowner, the new owner will want to do it, as soon as possible.  Let the price of the home reflect that. Take the price down from what the market value should be to account for hefty repairs.

Letting Buyers Know of Problems

There are many stipulations for what Radnor home sellers need to disclose and what they do not have to.  As a general rule, if the homeowner is not sure if they should disclose a problem, they should just do it.  It is better to disclose a problem and lose a sale than keep it quiet and end up sued.

Any major problems that are known need to be disclosed to the buyer.  But that does not mean every scratch in the paint has to be pointed out.  Problems with foundation or even asbestos is a problem that has to be disclosed.  A squeaky front door, not so much.

Needing an Inspection

Even though a Radnor house is listed as-is does not mean that buyers will simply take the home without getting an inspection.  Buyers may understand the house will have some minor or even major problems, but they still want an inspection laying out everything.

With this inspection, a buyer may ask the seller to fix some problem areas.  It is entirely up to the seller if they want to or not. The only problem with allowing many buyers to perform inspections is that more and more problems could be uncovered that the seller was unaware of.  Once these problems are found and told to the seller they need to disclose it to the next interested buyer.

Overpriced Home

There is always a risk when selling a Radnor house as-is.  The appraisal process will show what the house is currently valued for in the condition it is in. Radnor home sellers who have listed their house over this price point could lose a sale.  

The lender that is providing a loan for a buyer will require a home appraisal to make sure they are not providing more money than a house is worth.  In the event that the house is not worth as much as the offer, the buyer has to pay the difference out of pocket. A buyer that is not able to do this has to withdraw their offer.  

Selling a Radnor house as-is can be a good idea for home sellers who do not know much about a property that they have inherited or for sellers that do not want to spend time or money renovating.  If you find yourself in this position of needing to sell without wanting to spend the time or money preparing, contact us today to see how we can help.
