Our Happy Clients
“Stacy did a fantastic job. It was hard to sell our childhood home and Stacy took over and made this journey a pleasant one. She was at my side on every move, she answered every question I had (which was everyday) and when I thought I couldn’t get through this Stacy stepped in got me where I needed to be. My job has caused me to work with many realtors over the last 31 years and trust me when I say Stacy is heads above the rest. She answered every question I had, took every phone call I made and if I was overwhelmed she took over. My family is forever grateful for everything she has done. It was hard on the 4 of us children to sell our parents home which we lived in for over 50 years. We thought we couldn’t make it through the closing but when we got there it was very pleasant and enjoyable experience thanks to to Stacy. But I will have to say you know when you look over after closing and your realtor is sheading a tear because she knows what you are going through to sell this home, you know you have made a life long friend with your realtor. Thanks, Stacy, you are truly the best. The Simpson Family Jeff Pam Phyllis Greg We could not have done this without you.”

Why You May Consider Selling As Is
Preparing your home for selling is a lot of work; it requires time, money, and emotional energy. For this reason, selling a property as is may seem enticing but may come with some downsides, such as fewer buyers or smaller profits.
Understanding the advantages and disadvantages will help you make the best choices for yourself and your family. Here are some reasons why you may want to consider selling as is:
You need to sell – and FAST!
Many factors can lead to you wanting to close fast, whether it’s health issues, moving out of state, or relocating to a smaller (more accessible) home. In a situation where there is a time crunch, selling as is can lead to faster property sales.
Repairs are more than you can afford.
It is no secret that repairs can make home selling easier, even the lower-cost repairs. Still, if you do not have the financial means to make any repairs or updates, an as-is sale might be the right option for you.
Minimizing the emotional load outweighs the increased sales price.
If you are already struggling with emotional burdens, the idea of adding additional stress to home repairs can be daunting. For some, making changes to a family home stirs up stress and anxiety. During these times, selling as is becomes a great choice for a smoother transition and lightens the emotional load on everyone involved.
Being unfamiliar with the property’s history.
Maybe you inherited a home with an unfamiliar history; opting for an as-is sale can be a wise option. Selling as is acts as a safeguard, limiting your liability.
You own the property outright.
If you have owned your home for decades, it likely has appreciated by a lot. If your home is free of any type of lien or mortgage but requires updates, then losing a few thousand dollars might not seem like a huge loss compared to the large sum you can accrue at closing by selling as is.
Convenience is more important than profit.
In general, selling as is requires much less effort but typically results in a lower selling price for the property. When it comes down to it, selling as is means that you are prioritizing convenience over profit.
