Major Repairs Can Cost Thousands
Foundation issues, roof replacement, AC problems, and other major repairs can change the buyer pool, financing options, insurance, and inspection negotiations. Before spending money, compare repair bids, expected listing net, carrying costs, and a written as-is cash offer.
Why Selling to Us Beats Major Repairs
We Buy As-Is
We review the house as it sits and price the visible repair scope, title, payoff, access, and seller costs into the written offer.
Licensed General Contractor
As a licensed GC (CGC1534000), Max reviews the likely repair scope before we write the offer, so you can compare our number against repairing first, listing as-is, or waiting.
Repair Assumptions in Writing
We inspect the house, explain the major repair assumptions, and show how those costs affect the written offer.
Fast Closing
We set a target closing date after title, payoff, access, and seller documents are ready, which may be faster than waiting for repairs to be completed.
As-Is Offer Math
The offer is based on the likely after-repair value, repair scope, holding costs, resale risk, and the seller costs we agree to cover.
No Agent Commission
We do not charge an agent commission or service fee. The written offer states the seller costs before you sign.
How We Handle Major Repairs
Here's how we can help:
- We assess the property and identify all needed repairs.
- We factor the cost of repairs into our offer based on actual contractor costs.
- We buy the house as-is, with all needed repairs.
- After closing, the repair plan is our responsibility as the buyer, with Max's general-contractor background informing the scope.
- You get cash without the stress and expense of major repairs.

Real Example
A homeowner in Orlando had a house with foundation issues and a failing roof. The repairs would have cost $45,000. Traditional buyers walked away. We bought the house for $280,000, handled all the repairs ourselves (as licensed GCs), and the seller avoided months of dealing with contractors and inspections.
Florida Real Estate Law
Reference: Florida Statutes §689 (Conveyances)
- Florida sellers should disclose known material defects that are not readily observable. Selling as-is can reduce repair negotiations, but it does not remove disclosure duties.
- Florida does not have an individual state income tax, but federal capital-gains rules, documentary stamp tax, prorated property taxes, rental history, and reporting forms can still affect the final number.
- A Florida title company can run the title search, coordinate lien payoffs, issue title insurance when applicable, and record the deed.
- We close with a licensed Florida title company. The settlement statement should show payoffs, prorations, title charges, and seller costs before closing.
Florida selling decisions should be based on the property in front of you: recent nearby comps, repairs, insurance availability, buyer financing, payoff amount, title status, and how long you can carry the house. Use this section as a checklist, then compare a realistic retail net against a written as-is cash offer.
Seller Decision Checklist
Before deciding, check current local comparable sales, active inventory, insurance costs, title/payoff numbers, and repair estimates. Market-wide numbers can hide what is happening on your street.
