Selling a Fixer-Upper in the Bay Area Without Making Repairs
The Fixer-Upper Dilemma
You have a house that needs work. Maybe a lot of work. The conventional wisdom says you need to renovate before selling to get the best price. But in the Bay Area, that conventional wisdom is often wrong — especially when you factor in the cost of renovations, the time involved, and the risk of going over budget.
The True Cost of Renovating Before Selling
Bay Area renovation costs are among the highest in the nation. A basic kitchen remodel can run $50,000-$100,000. A full home renovation can easily exceed $200,000-$500,000 depending on the scope. Add in permits (which can take months in cities like San Francisco), contractor availability, and the carrying costs of the property during renovation, and the math often doesn't work in your favor.
Why Investors Pay Strong Prices for Fixers
Professional investors have systems, contractor relationships, and economies of scale that individual homeowners don't. They can renovate a property for 30-50% less than a homeowner would pay. This means they can afford to pay you a strong price for your fixer because their renovation costs are lower. When multiple investors compete for your property, this dynamic works even more in your favor.

What 'As-Is' Really Means
When we say we buy houses as-is, we mean it. Leave the old carpet, the outdated kitchen, the leaky roof, the overgrown yard. Don't clean, don't paint, don't fix anything. Our investors factor the condition into their offers and handle all repairs after closing. You walk away with cash and zero hassle.
