LET’S START WITH YOUR HOUSE
QUESTION 1 OF 2
What repairs are you worried about?
Choose the main concern. We can talk through anything else when we connect.
You don’t need repair estimates to start.
Where is the property?
Start with the address. When we follow up, tell us what needs work and when you want to move.
Do you need to fix it before selling?
You don’t have to fix the house before you sell it. But the type of repairs and how serious they are will affect who can buy it. A cash buyer may be willing to take on the work, while a buyer getting a mortgage may need some repairs finished before closing.
Would cash or a 1% listing make more sense?
If you don’t want to manage contractors, we can look at buying the house ourselves. Our cash offer needs to leave room for repairs, holding costs, and resale risk, so it may be lower than what you could get by listing. We’ll put the condition, any cleanout, inspections, and closing terms in writing. A cash purchase can close in as few as five days once terms, title, and escrow are ready.
Through our 1% listing-side service, we market your property in its current condition. Buyers can arrange a home inspection, and financed offers may require a lender’s appraisal. These can identify repair issues that affect negotiations or loan approval. Any repairs required before closing will depend on the type of financing, lender requirements, and the purchase agreement.
For the 1% listing: a buyer using financing
With a listing, there’s time on the market and then time in escrow. One planning example is 30–60 days to find a buyer, plus about 30 days in escrow. Your sale may be faster or take longer.
An FHA, VA, or conventional buyer may be able to close in 25–30 days after acceptance, but their lender needs to confirm the timing. Loan approval, appraisal, or repair issues can take longer.
⚑ Appraisal repairs on a financed offer
Conventional loans may allow cosmetic wear. FHA and VA have minimum property standards. Serious defects can require repairs with any of these loans.
FHA 203(k) may let a buyer include approved renovations in the loan, subject to lender, buyer, and project eligibility.
Official guidance: FHA · Conventional · VA · 203(k)
These notes concern a listing buyer’s loan. A direct cash purchase can still involve inspections and title checks. Items an appraiser may flag include:
- Peeling fascia paint or exposed exterior wood.
- Missing or nonworking cooking appliances, when required by the buyer’s loan.
- Garage-to-house fire separation and self-closing door hardware.
- Water-heater restraints and safe attic access.
Requirements depend on the loan, lender, condition, and local code. FHA attic observations depend on safe access. Some hard-money or private-money buyers can take on larger repairs, but their funding still has conditions. HUD guidance · Clark County building guidance.
Let’s compare what you could keep after repairs, selling costs, payoffs, and the time it takes to close. Estimate your sale proceeds.
Compare costs and how we work
Direct purchase: Vegas House Heroes buys as principal, with no listing commission. Price, inspections, closing conditions, and any cleanout belong in the agreement. Confirm closing-cost allocation; mortgage payoffs, liens, and prorations can reduce proceeds.
Listing: Our separate brokerage service offers a 1% listing-side commission under a written agreement. Any separate transaction or broker fee, seller-paid buyer-agent compensation, and closing costs are additional. Commissions are negotiable.
Questions before you decide
Do I need to repair or empty the house first?
You don’t need to do either before contacting us. We can review the current condition and discuss any cleanout. Purchase eligibility and terms depend on our review.
Does selling as-is remove disclosure duties?
No. Nevada generally requires disclosure of known defects, subject to statutory exceptions. Nevada’s seller disclosure requirements still matter.
What happens after I share the address?
We’ll discuss the repairs, access, and your timing. We may need a walkthrough before proposing an offer or listing plan. Review the price, costs, inspections, and closing conditions in writing.
