Conversational Question: How do I sell my Keller home as-is without repairs?

Answer: To sell your Keller home as-is, disclose the property’s condition honestly, set a fair price, and market to the right buyers. Glenn Wegner explains the steps, risks, and strategies for protecting your equity.

What 'As-Is' Really Means in Texas Real Estate

In Texas, selling a home 'as-is' does not mean you avoid all responsibilities. You’re still required by law to provide a Seller’s Disclosure Notice detailing known issues. However, it does mean you’re not agreeing to make repairs as part of negotiations. For Keller homeowners, this option can save time and upfront costs, especially if a property needs cosmetic or structural updates. Glenn Wegner regularly advises clients on when an as-is sale makes sense versus investing in pre-listing improvements.

Why Keller Homeowners Choose to Sell As-Is

There are several reasons Keller residents might choose to sell a home as-is:

- **Financial Constraints:** Major repairs like roof replacements or HVAC updates may be unaffordable.
- **Inherited Properties:** Families inheriting homes may not want to invest time or money in updates.
- **Relocation Needs:** A quick move for work or military transfer may make repairs impractical.
- **Distressed Situations:** Sellers facing foreclosure may prefer a fast sale without added expense.

In neighborhoods like Bear Creek Park and Marshall Ridge, older homes with deferred maintenance are often marketed as-is to investors or cash buyers.

Challenges of Selling a Keller Home As-Is

Selling as-is does present challenges:

- **Lower Sale Price:** Buyers often factor repairs into their offers, reducing your net proceeds.
- **Limited Buyer Pool:** Traditional buyers seeking move-in ready homes may pass over your listing.
- **Inspection Risks:** Even with as-is status, inspections may uncover issues that scare off buyers.

According to NTREIS data, updated Keller homes sell in an average of 27 days, while as-is homes can linger longer unless priced competitively. Glenn Wegner ensures pricing strategy reflects both the condition and market demand.

How to Price Your As-Is Home in Keller

Pricing is key. Set too high, and your home may sit unsold. Set too low, and you risk leaving money on the table. Glenn Wegner creates Comparative Market Analyses (CMAs) that consider:

- Comparable homes in Hidden Lakes and Harmonson Farms
- Adjustments for condition and repair needs
- Keller’s average price per square foot (~$215 in 2025)

This ensures your listing attracts serious buyers while protecting your equity.

Who Buys As-Is Homes in Keller?

Typical as-is buyers include:

- **Investors and Flippers:** Looking for homes they can renovate and resell.
- **Cash Buyers:** Willing to take on projects for quick equity.
- **First-Time Buyers with Sweat Equity Plans:** Some buyers want to customize a home themselves.

Glenn connects sellers with vetted investor networks while still marketing broadly on the MLS to reach every potential buyer.
