Seller is selling as is, how does that affect their responsibility to maintain the property until close?

House is a beautiful Victorian built in 1910 but has no central air, just window units. The house is empty and the seller has already moved out of the country. Both times we’ve visited, to view and then for the inspection, the ACs were off but a single dehumidifier remained on in the basement. The inspection flagged old water damage with no active leak but some peeling paint. I’m almost positive that the peeling paint on the ceiling was not there the first time we looked at the house and am now concerned that it’s a result of no one living in the house/running the AC/airing it out. The gutters are also clogged and some trees need to be trimmed, we’ve been having a lot of storms so I worry that if left as is for the next 2 weeks I will walk into a horror show on closing day. I’ve texted my real estate agent about this but haven’t heard back yet.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
