Sell Your House As-Is: Roof, AC, Water Damage, Anything
A house that needs work feels like a problem you have to solve before you can sell. You don't. We buy houses in whatever condition they're in, and whatever shape yours is in, I've very likely seen worse.
- One walkthrough, no inspection
- Leave everything behind
- Open permits and code cases OK
Hi, I'm Mario Zendeli. I've been buying houses here in Central Florida since 2010. I'll walk the house with you myself, and my team and I are the ones who buy it.

The challenge
What makes this hard
- 01
The expensive repairs are the ones buyers can't finance
The repairs that scare buyers are the expensive ones: a roof past its life, an AC that limps through August, water intrusion, a foundation crack, mold behind a wall. Most buyers can't get a loan on a house with those issues, and the ones who can will want you to fix them first.
- 02
Fixing it first costs money you may not get back
Fixing them means fronting money you may not have, managing contractors, and waiting weeks or months. Lots of sellers spend that money and still don't get it back in the sale price. The renovation shows on TV make it look like every dollar comes back doubled. It rarely does.
- 03
The house keeps getting worse while you wait
Meanwhile the house keeps getting worse. A small leak becomes a ceiling collapse. An insurance non-renewal letter arrives. Code enforcement opens a case. The longer a house that needs work sits, the more it costs to hold.
The solution
How a cash sale solves it
One walkthrough is the whole inspection
I do one walkthrough, and that's the whole inspection. No third-party inspector, no repair addendum, no renegotiation a week before closing. What I see on the walkthrough goes into a written fair cash offer within 24 hours, with the math laid out so you understand the number.
You do nothing to the house
You don't have to do a thing to the house. Don't patch, don't paint, don't haul anything to the dump. Leave the broken appliances and the boxes in the garage. My team handles all of it after closing.
Close on your date, no commission
We close on your date, in as little as seven days if you want. We cover standard closing costs. Compared with a listing, you skip the repairs, the commission, and the months of waiting, and I'll help you see clearly which path leaves you with more.
Working together
What we'll need from you
Missing paperwork is normal. Bring what you have and we'll help track down the rest.
- An honest description of what's wrong, as best you know it. Roof age, when the AC last worked, any water damage or mold, any open permits or code notices.
- Whether the house is occupied, vacant, or somewhere in between.
- Any insurance letters, especially a non-renewal or a claim in progress.
- One walkthrough. Turn on the lights if the power's on. That's the only prep.
Worth asking
Should you renovate before selling?
Stop fixing your house for someone else's standards. A new roof, a remodeled kitchen, and fresh floors are what a retail buyer wants, and they'll pay something for them, but rarely the full cost plus your time and stress. If you have the money, the contractors, and six months, a renovation can make sense. If you're renovating because you think you have to, you don't.
The honest comparison is simple. Add up the repair costs, the months of carrying the house, the commission, and the risk that the sale falls through anyway. Set that against a fair cash offer that closes in days with nothing spent. I'll help you run both numbers, and if listing is the better path for you, I'll tell you plainly.
Local rules
Florida-specific notes
What tends to surprise the sellers I meet in Seminole, Orange, and Osceola County.
This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
- Roof and insurance
- Florida insurers are refusing to renew policies on roofs older than about fifteen years, and an uninsurable house is very hard to sell to anyone with a mortgage. It's one of the most common reasons sellers in the Orlando area call me.
- Hurricane damage and permits
- Hurricane damage that was never fully repaired, or was repaired without permits, shows up on inspections and in county records. We buy houses with open permits and unpermitted work and sort it out after closing.
- Code enforcement
- Open code enforcement cases and growing daily fines follow the property, not the owner, until they're resolved. Selling to a cash buyer who handles the compliance is often cheaper than paying the fines down yourself.
- Mold and water
- Mold and water damage are common after a Florida summer with a failed AC. They don't rule a house out for us. They're just part of the repair estimate that goes into the offer.
