Owning a damaged or vacant property can be stressful. Whether it’s a fire-damaged home, a vacant rental, or an inherited house that’s been sitting empty, you might feel stuck. Most real estate agents will tell you that you need to make costly repairs and updates before you can list. But what if you don’t have the time, money, or desire to fix it?
At Howell Properties LLC, we specialize in helping homeowners in Toledo, Ohio sell damaged or vacant houses as-is—with no repairs, no cleaning, and no hassle. If you’re ready to move on, here’s how you can sell your property without lifting a hammer.
Why You Might Be Stuck with a Damaged or Vacant Property
These situations are more common than you think:
- Fire or water damage that’s too expensive to fix
- Structural issues like foundation cracks or roof damage
- Outdated homes that haven’t been updated in decades
- Properties inherited from a loved one that’s been vacant
- Rental properties left in bad condition by tenants
- Abandoned homes that have become a burden
These types of properties are hard to sell on the traditional market. Most buyers want a move-in-ready home. And real estate agents may turn you away or insist you spend thousands in repairs before they list it.
The Problem with Fixing It Up
Fixing a house to prepare it for sale takes time and money—two things many homeowners don’t have.
- Repair costs can range from $10,000 to $50,000+
- You may need permits, inspections, or contractor quotes
- Repairs can take weeks or months
- You’ll still need to pay the mortgage, taxes, and utilities during this time
- There’s no guarantee you’ll recoup the costs once it’s sold
If the house is vacant, it may also be a target for vandalism, theft, or weather damage, making the situation even worse the longer you wait.
