Can You Sell Your House As-Is?
Yes, Here’s What That Actually Means
Here’s the secret about listing a house as-is with a real estate agent: the buyer still orders an inspection, still asks for credits, and their lender and insurance company still demand the roof, the wiring, and the plumbing pass muster. In today’s Florida insurance market, a roof over 15 years old can sink a financed sale on its own. When we say as-is, we mean it literally. Particular Properties buys Central Florida houses in any condition, for cash, with an offer in 24 hours and closing in as little as 7 days.
We buy houses other buyers will not touch: roofs past their lifespan, aluminum wiring and old fuse panels, mold, termite history, foundation cracks, fire and water damage, hoarder houses full to the ceiling, unpermitted additions, and homes with open code violations. You name it, we have probably seen it and bought it.

What “As-Is” Actually Means When You Sell to Us
When you sell as-is to us, the offer is built on real Central Florida comps minus real repair numbers, and we show you both so you can check our math. There is no inspection contingency and no financing that can collapse over a four-point report. We do not ask you to clean before we visit. Take what you want, leave the rest, including the furniture, the boxes, and whatever is still in the shed. We handle everything after closing.
What Fixing It First Really Costs
Here is what fixing it first actually costs: a roof runs $15,000 to $30,000, a repipe or rewire runs $8,000 to $15,000, and a full make-ready often lands north of $50,000. That is months of contractors, permits, and stress, spent gambling that the market holds while you renovate. Most sellers who run the numbers find that the renovation mostly profits the contractor. We price the work honestly and buy the house from you today instead.
Why We Buy Houses This Way
Particular Properties is a family-owned, Florida-based business that buys houses directly from homeowners for cash. Jessica has 20 years of real estate experience in Florida and has worked through nearly every situation a seller can face. She watched her own mother go through foreclosure and lose her childhood home, and that is why she started this business: to give sellers a straightforward way out of a hard situation, without the anxiety, the paperwork, or the runaround that usually comes with selling fast. We work with homeowners dealing with foreclosure, probate, inherited property, divorce, tax liens, code violations, tired landlords, and houses that need more repairs than an owner wants to take on.
How Selling As-Is Works
- Call or text 407-258-6897, or fill out the form. Tell us about the property and your situation.
- We visit the house. We walk the property and look at it the way it actually sits, no staging needed.
- You get a written cash offer. We explain exactly how we got the number, usually before we leave the property.
- You pick the closing date. We close through a local title company, and you walk away with cash, wired or by certified check.
Common Questions About Selling As-Is
Will an as-is offer be lower than listing with an agent?
Usually, yes, because you are trading some amount of price for speed and certainty. A cash offer accounts for the repairs, the agent commission you will not pay, and the weeks or months a traditional sale can take. Whether that trade makes sense depends on how much the house actually needs and how much time and cash you have to put into it first.
Do I need to clean the house out before you see it?
No. Take anything with personal or financial value, photos, keepsakes, important papers, and leave the rest. Furniture, appliances, clothing, and whatever is in the garage or shed can all stay. We handle the cleanout after closing.
What if the house has code violations, an old roof, or an unpermitted addition?
That is exactly the kind of house we buy. We factor it into the offer rather than asking you to fix it first, and we have closed on homes with all three at once.
How fast can you actually close?
In as little as 7 days when title is clear, sometimes faster. If there are liens, a pending short sale, or other title issues, we work with the closing professional to sort those out, which can add time.
Am I obligated to accept the offer once I get one?
No. The offer is free and there is no pressure to accept it. You can compare it against listing, think it over, or decline it entirely.
