Selling a House That Needs Repairs? The Traditional Way Is a Headache!

Trying to sell a house that needs work through a real estate agent can quickly become a frustrating and expensive ordeal for many reasons, including:

Many agents won’t take on properties that need significant work because they’re harder to show, harder to sell, and mean smaller commissions after price reductions.

Most buyers rely on mortgages, and lenders won’t approve loans for homes with major issues like roof damage, foundation problems, or faulty electrical systems. Your deal can collapse at the last minute.

Even “minor” fixes can reveal bigger problems once contractors get started. What begins as a $5,000 estimate can easily become $20,000 or more.

Traditional sales take 60-90 days or longer — and that’s if everything goes smoothly. With a house that needs repairs, you could be waiting indefinitely.

House Needs Repairs? We Handle It All — No Exceptions!

When we say we buy homes in any condition, we really mean it. Unlike companies that buy houses as-is but then quickly back out when they see the real scope of work, Osborne Homes has handled properties in all levels of condition since 2007.

Foundation and  Structural Damage

Cracked foundations, settling, and structural issues scare off most buyers and make traditional financing nearly impossible. We purchase properties with these problems every week.

Roof Damage and  Leaks

A damaged roof can cost $10,000-$30,000 to replace — money many homeowners simply don’t have. We buy houses with roof problems and handle the repairs ourselves.

Outdated Electrical,  Plumbing, and HVAC

Older homes often have systems that don’t meet current code. Updating electrical panels, re-piping, or replacing HVAC systems is expensive and disruptive. We take these properties as-is.

Mold, Water Damage,  and Environmental Issues

Mold remediation and water damage repairs require specialized contractors and can reveal hidden problems. We buy houses with these issues and assume full responsibility for all remediation.

Whether your home needs minor cosmetic updates or major structural work, we are one of few companies that buy houses in any condition, and we won’t change our offer after seeing the property!

Our No-Hassle Guarantee: Your Assurance

We understand you may have concerns about selling to a real estate investor. You’ve probably heard stories about lowball offers, last-minute changes, or hidden fees. That’s not how we operate.
