Selling to an investor like us is the fastest way to sell a house with a bad roof in Scranton PA.

Why sell to us? There are two reasons.

1. We don’t use home inspectors before we make an offer. Other prospective buyers will want to have inspectors conduct a thorough inspection of your property, and typically hire a roofer to look at the bad roof. We won’t need to do that. We can look at a roof and quickly understand the costs to repair or replace it.
2. We don’t use appraisers or mortgages. Most potential buyers will need a mortgage loan to buy your home. Lenders are hesitant to loan on a house with a roof that’s in poor condition. An appraiser will note the bad roof, and the lender may then refuse to make a loan for your buyer. We avoid all that hassle and delay. We won’t do an appraisal on your home and we don’t depend on a mortgage lender.

The answer to this question is maybe (except for when selling it to us – then it’s a definite “no”). It might be worth replacing the roof before selling the house for a limited number of homeowners.

If you have a roofing company that can buy wholesale roofing materials, and you also have access to reliable labor to install a roof, you might consider replacing a roof before selling.

Most people don’t own a roofing company, so it probably isn’t to their advantage to replace a roof before selling.

There are some other considerations when putting on a new roof on your house to sell.

Your choice of roofing materials and the color selection you make may not be to your new buyer’s taste. The new roof may decrease the value of the home for some potential buyers.

The other consideration is the headache of supervising the work when replacing a roof. And there’s also the mess of ripping off a roof and stalling a new one.

It’s easier to sell to us. We can make an offer for cash based on the value of the house minus the cost of a roof replacement.

We have experience buying houses that need a roof replacement and can make a fair offer without the hesitation most buyers would have in looking at a house with a damaged roof.

There are a number of ways to sell a house with cosmetic roof damage in Scranton.

The Hard Way:

1. Locate a real estate agent who has experience and a resume that includes selling fixer properties.
2. Complete the mandatory seller’s property disclosure.
3. List and market the house. This may include previews and open houses.
4. Field offers and counter offers.
5. Accept an offer and open escrow.
6. Wait for your buyer to conduct property inspections. This may include a roof inspection. Renegotiate the sales price based on the home inspection findings, or repair damage found by the buyer’s inspector.
7. Wait while your buyer locates a mortgage company that will make a loan on a house with roof damage. Many will require a new roof to be installed, or demand that cash be left in escrow to have the replacement done immediately after the sale closes.
8. Wait for the buyer to locate a hazard insurance company that will ensure a home with roof damage.
9. Open the house for lender appraisal. Open the house for secondary appraisals, if the home fails to qualify for the sales price.
10. Close the sale, and pay agent commissions and closing costs.

The Easy Way:

1. Contact us for a free, no-obligation offer.
2. Agree to the price and sign the sales contract.
3. We’ll open escrow and close in a matter of days. No waiting for inspections, hazard insurance or appraisals.
4. You can also leave any unwanted things behind, and we’ll even pay your closing costs.

Fast and easy!
