🧯 Struggling to Fix Your Greensboro House Before Selling?
Let’s be honest — home repairs are expensive, and many homeowners just can’t afford to fix everything before selling.
Whether it’s:
-
A leaking roof
-
Old electrical panels
-
Outdated plumbing
-
Water damage or mold
-
Flooring or cosmetic updates
…it can feel impossible to list your house when your budget is already tight.
🧾 What Repairs Really Cost (And Why Sellers Walk Away)
In Greensboro, repair costs in 2024 have skyrocketed due to rising material prices and labor shortages.
Here’s a rough breakdown:
-
Roof replacement: $8,000–$15,000
-
HVAC system: $6,000+
-
Bathroom remodel: $5,000–$10,000
-
Foundation repair: $10,000+
-
Termite damage: Often hidden and costly
Even minor cosmetic fixes (paint, staging, landscaping) can run thousands of dollars if you’re preparing to list your home the traditional way.
🤔 What If You Just Can’t Fix It?
If you’re:
-
Facing financial hardship
-
Dealing with an inherited property
-
Going through divorce or foreclosure
-
Or just don’t want to pour more money into a home you’re leaving…
Then putting your house on the MLS and waiting months for a picky buyer might not be realistic.
🔄 Your Options If You Can’t Afford Repairs
1. Try to Get a Personal Loan or HELOC
✅ Can work if you have equity

😓 Real Stories from Sellers Like You
We’ve worked with dozens of local homeowners who were overwhelmed by needed repairs — and just wanted to walk away with cash in hand and a fresh start.
One seller had over $40,000 in needed updates and was ready to give up. Instead, we gave her a fair cash offer and closed in under 10 days — no inspections, no showings, no stress.
💡 Pro Tip: Save on Taxes by Selling Without Paying for Repairs
Did you know that major repairs might not increase your home’s value by as much as they cost? Especially when you factor in the stress and delays.
Sometimes, selling the house as-is makes more financial sense.
And if you’ve lived in the property for 2 of the last 5 years, you may qualify for a $250,000 tax exclusion on gains — or $500,000 for married couples.
Always consult a tax advisor — but we can help you understand the basics.
🔎 Curious If We’d Buy Your House?
We probably would — here’s what we look for:
-
You’re the owner or representative (even in probate)
-
You’re ready to sell
-
You want a fast, fair, and easy process
That’s it. Doesn’t matter if the house is outdated, damaged, or needs $50K in work.
