“The Cash Offer Company”
Trying to sell a house in Richmond that’s mid-renovation? Whether your contractor disappeared or the project got too expensive, unfinished homes are tough to list on the traditional market. But they’re not impossible to sell especially when you know your options.
This guide breaks down how to sell your Richmond home as-is, without completing the work, and what to expect along the way.
Why Sellers End Up With Unfinished Renovations
You’re not alone. Many Richmond homeowners run into:
- Budget overruns
- Permit or inspection delays
- Contractor abandonment
- DIY burnout
- Changes in life circumstances (like divorce or inheritance)
Some homes in neighborhoods like Northside, Bon Air, or Manchester have sat unfinished for years. It happens.
Can You Sell a House With Unfinished Work?
Yes—especially when you sell directly to a cash buyer like The Cash Offer Company. We buy homes across Richmond with:
- Missing flooring, cabinets, or drywall
- Open walls or incomplete plumbing/electrical
- Unpermitted work
- Construction debris left behind
- No final inspections or certificate of occupancy
You don’t need to fix anything before selling.
The Problem With Listing on the MLS
Trying to list your unfinished home with a real estate agent? Here’s what you might run into:
- Fewer buyer offers
- Difficulty passing inspections
- Low appraisals
- Loan issues (many lenders won’t finance incomplete homes)
- High carrying costs while waiting for a buyer
This is why many sellers turn to off-market options instead.
Selling As-Is: Your Best Option
With The Cash Offer Company, you can skip the hassle and sell your house in its current condition fast. We buy properties all over Richmond VA, including Church Hill, Midlothian, and Forest Hill.
Benefits of selling your unfinished renovation to us:
- No agents or commissions
- No repairs or cleaning
- No waiting for permits
- Close on your schedule
- Avoid code violations or fines
What About Unpermitted Work?
Many Richmond homes have unpermitted work, especially DIY jobs or older renovations. Most traditional buyers will walk away or demand you bring everything up to code before closing.
We don’t. We’ve bought houses with:
- Non-compliant additions
- Rewired panels
- Converted garages or basements
- Open city permits
What Is Your House Really Worth?
That depends on your location, how far along the renovation is, and whether there are structural issues like foundation problems or title complications. But you don’t need to guess.
