What would you walk away with?
Selling as-is and repairing first are both real options, and the difference between them is arithmetic rather than opinion. Put your own figures in and watch the two numbers move — the results update as you type.
The figures below are examples. Change any of them to see your own numbers.
What it would sell for today, as it stands.
What it would sell for fully repaired.
Contractor estimates, if you have them.
What's still owed, including any liens.
How long the work and the sale would take.
Mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities.
Charged on a listing.
Title, transfer and recording taxes, settlement.
Lower, because there's no commission to split.
These three are the only assumptions we make. Change them if yours are different.
Sell as-is to Brightline
- Timeline
- About 2–3 weeks
- Effort
- None — no repairs, no cleanout, no showings
Repair and list
- Timeline
- About 6 months to repair and sell
- Effort
- Repairs to manage, showings, and a sale that depends on a buyer's financing
Repairing and listing is estimated to net you about $22,350 more than selling as-is.
These are estimates only. A real offer depends on the property — its condition, what's owed on it, and what the market does between now and closing.
