WONDERING WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR DAMAGED HOME?
Deciding what to do with a damaged home involves both practical and personal considerations. Houston Home Relief Group evaluates residential properties for an as-is purchase, giving owners an option to consider alongside repair or restoration.
COMPARE THE OPTIONS FOR YOUR PROPERTY
Repair scope: Obtain an assessment of the damage and the work required before comparing options.
Budget: Consider repair estimates, a contingency for unexpected work and the cost of holding the property.
Timeline: Inspections, permits, contractor availability and construction can affect the schedule.
Property value: Compare the likely value after repairs with the total cost of completing the work.
Sale terms: Review the proposed price, due diligence requirements, closing costs and timing of an as-is offer.
Your goals: Consider your plans for the property and the resources you want to commit to it.
A cleanup proposal may cover only part of a restoration project. Our Houston fire damage cleanup planning guide provides questions for comparing estimates and a worksheet for tracking remaining work before deciding how to proceed.
An as-is sale does not require you to complete the buyer’s planned renovations before closing. The buyer will still evaluate the property and negotiate terms. Review our repair-versus-teardown article or tell us about your property to start a conversation.
