Urgent Deadline + Major Repairs
Sell fast options for Michigan homeowners
If the home needs a roof, foundation work, major mechanicals, or has water damage — and you’re up against a deadline — the best move is usually a controlled as-is sale or a minimal stabilize-then-sell plan. Full rehabs are slow, expensive, and often don’t fit the clock.
No pressure. You’ll get clarity first. Then you decide what makes sense.
Red flags (don’t waste time or money)
- Anyone insisting you must do a full rehab to sell.
- Paying large upfront deposits with no written scope + schedule.
- “Guaranteed stop” promises without reviewing your timeline.
Your goal is a clean outcome before the clock runs out.
Option #1: Sell As-Is (Fastest)
Option #2: List as a Fixer (More Exposure)
Option #3: Stabilize Only (Prevent Worse Damage)
Option #4: Keep the Home Path (If Staying)

FAQ (Quick Answers)

Can I sell with major repairs in Michigan?
Yes. As-is sales are common. The key is matching price + speed to your timeline and payoff reality.
Should I fix anything first?
Usually only “stop the bleeding” repairs make sense when time is tight. Full rehabs often waste money under deadline pressure.
