Sell a House As-Is in Escondido
We buy Escondido houses in whatever condition they are in. You fix nothing, clean nothing, and clear nothing out.
The outlying parcels are where the surprises are — a septic system at the end of its life or a well with capacity problems is a five-figure item that does not show up in a photograph, and it is exactly the kind of thing a buyer who has not looked properly will try to renegotiate over later. None of that has to become your problem to solve before you can sell. It goes into the offer instead, which is the difference between selling as-is and selling to a buyer who needs a lender to approve the house first.

Garner Group buys houses in Escondido in as-is condition — no repairs, no cleaning, and no clearing the house out. Condition is priced into the offer rather than handled by you beforehand, and we do not reduce the price after an inspection. Renovation after closing is done by licensed and bonded contractors, permitted and to code.
What we
actually do.
An inland North County valley city built out largely between the 1960s and 1980s, with larger lots and, toward the edges, properties on well and septic rather than city services.
If the only work your house needs is cosmetic — paint, carpet, landscaping — do it and list the house. That work usually returns more than it costs on the open market, and the as-is discount will cost you more than the repairs would.

Sell a House That Needs Work in Escondido — FAQ
How bad can a Escondido house be before you will not buy it?
We have not found a condition problem that rules a house out. Foundation movement, fire and water damage, mould, hoarding, long vacancies and unpermitted work are all normal for us. Condition changes the number, not whether we buy.
Do I have to clean it out first?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest, furniture and garage included. Clearing the house is part of what we do after closing.
What happens with unpermitted work?
It does not stop the sale. Unpermitted additions and garage conversions are one of the main reasons a house cannot sell conventionally, because appraisers will not count the square footage and lenders will not finance it. We handle the permitting after closing.
Will you inspect it and then drop the price?
No. We look at the house before we make an offer, and that offer is the closing number. We do not use an inspection contingency as leverage.
Who does the renovation afterwards?
Licensed and bonded contractors, with the work permitted and taken to code. The standard is what a homeowner would do to a house they intended to keep, which is the reason the company exists.
