Sell Your House As-Is in the Quad Cities

"As-is" gets tossed around a lot in real estate, but most agents and most buyers don't actually mean it. They'll list the house "as-is" and then their buyer's lender requires repairs anyway, or the inspector finds something and the buyer walks. We genuinely buy as-is — what you see is what we offer, no inspection contingency, no repair credits, no surprises.

What "As-Is" Actually Looks Like

Here are properties our buyers have purchased in the Quad Cities recently:

• 1920s home in Davenport with knob-and-tube wiring and a leaking basement.
• Bettendorf rental that had been abused by tenants — holes in walls, missing fixtures, pet damage throughout.
• Hoarder property in Moline that took two 30-yard dumpsters to clean out after closing.
• Rock Island house with active code violations and an open foundation crack.
• Fire-damaged home in East Moline that the insurance company had already declared a total loss.

None of these would have closed traditionally. All of them closed with us in 7–21 days.

Conditions We Regularly Handle

• Roof at end of life, leaking, or already failed
• Foundation cracks, settling, or water intrusion
• Outdated electrical (knob-and-tube, fuse boxes, aluminum wiring)
• Galvanized or lead plumbing, sewer line problems
• Mold, asbestos, lead paint
• Hoarder situations and excessive belongings
• Fire, water, or storm damage
• Code violations and condemned properties
• Houses that have been vacant for years

How It Works

1. Tell us about the property. Be honest about the condition — the worse it is, the more value we can offer relative to a retail buyer.
2. Your buyer sends a written cash offer within 24 hours. No inspection contingency. No "subject to repairs."
3. Close at a local title company in 7–14 days. Take what matters with you. Leave the rest.

FAQ — Selling a House As-Is in the Quad Cities

Do you really buy houses in any condition?

Yes. The only things our buyers won't purchase are properties with no equity (where there's no way to make the numbers work) or properties on land that can't be insured or financed long-term. Otherwise — old, damaged, dirty, occupied — your buyer purchases it.

Will you do an inspection?

We'll walk through the property to confirm condition before closing, but our offer is not contingent on the inspection coming back a certain way. What we offer is what you get.

What about Iowa and Illinois disclosure laws?

You still complete the state-required disclosure form (Iowa Code 558A in Iowa, the Residential Real Property Disclosure Report in Illinois). Since your buyer purchases as-is, your disclosures don't affect our offer.

Do I have to clean it out first?

No. Take what you want. Leave everything else — furniture, appliances, garage contents, basement, attic. Your buyer handles disposal after closing.

Will my offer be lower because it's in rough shape?

Yes — our offer reflects the condition of the property and the cost to renovate it. But it also reflects that you're not paying agent commissions, repair costs, holding costs, or closing costs. For tough properties, the net is often very close (or better).
