Major repairs needed? Get an as-is evaluation before renovating.
You do not have to repair the property for Roger. He reviews the home, land, records, safety, and repair risk before deciding whether to make a written offer.
We Buy Doublewides is Roger Choate's local direct-buying business. Roger evaluates the manufactured home and seller-owned land together; he does not buy home-only or rented-lot properties.
Damaged or deferred-maintenance property
Do not spend before you know the tradeoff
Repairs can improve a retail sale, but they can also uncover more damage, require permits, and take longer than expected. Before authorizing major work solely to sell, compare a realistic repaired retail net with the current-condition options. A direct buyer's written offer may be lower than a successful retail price but may avoid seller-funded renovation and a buyer's repair contingency.
Disclose the condition you know
- roof leaks, ceiling stains, storm or fire damage;
- soft floors, settlement, damaged supports, or unsafe steps;
- plumbing leaks, frozen lines, sewage, well, or septic problems;
- electrical hazards, missing equipment, or disconnected utilities;
- mold, pests, smoke, hoarding, debris, fuel, chemicals, or other contamination;
- unpermitted additions, decks, porches, garages, or structural changes.
Do not climb a damaged roof, energize questionable wiring, enter a contaminated crawlspace, or walk on an unstable floor for photos. Tell Roger what is unsafe and provide records or exterior photos when possible.
What “as-is” means here
Roger does not require you to correct defects for him. He may still inspect the property, verify records, revise or withdraw an offer if material facts differ, and include conditions in the written agreement. Required legal disclosures are not waived by the phrase “as-is.”
Condition is only one factor. Land, access, utilities, title status, liens, location, cleanup, demolition risk, and market evidence also affect whether the property fits.
Clear next steps, without unsupported promises.
Records Checked First
Title, deed, owners, liens, taxes, payoffs, and court or estate requirements can change what is possible.
Remote Coordination Considered
Out-of-state owners may be able to coordinate documents remotely when the closing professional and applicable rules allow it.
As-Is Review
You are not asked to repair the property for Roger. Condition is still assessed before a purchase decision.
Costs Made Visible
The settlement statement should show taxes, liens, payoffs, prorations, and agreed charges before signing.
No Company Commission
We Buy Doublewides does not charge a seller commission. Other property-specific settlement items can affect net proceeds.
Timeline After Review
Cash can remove a buyer mortgage contingency, but it does not remove title, payoff, ownership, court, or closing requirements.
Major Repairs & selling for cash.
Not for Roger’s evaluation. First compare the likely repair cost and retail net with an as-is written offer. Address only immediate safety or preservation needs with qualified help.
No. He reviews safety, condition, land, title, price, location, and other risks before making a purchase decision.
Only if the written contract specifically says what may remain and how possession and cleanup will be handled. Do not assume.
No. Applicable disclosure, fraud, environmental, and contract rules still apply. Disclose known material facts and ask a qualified professional about your obligations.
Whatever put you here.
Describe the damage without putting yourself at risk
