Can I sell my house if the roof needs to be replaced?
Yes. You can sell a house that needs a new roof as-is to a cash buyer, because a cash buyer does not need a lender or an insurer to sign off on the roof first. Southern Home Offers prices the roof replacement into the offer and you skip the project.
Why this kind of house is hard to sell the usual way
Many lenders and insurers will not approve a house with an active leak or a roof near the end of its life, which shrinks the buyer pool.
A roof is also rarely just a roof: leaks lead to rotted decking, ceiling damage and mold.
How we buy it
- We price the full roof and the damage it caused in one number.
- If you have a storm claim open, we can work around it.
- No tarping, patching or new shingles needed before we buy.
How it affects your offer
We price a full tear-off and replacement at local contractor rates, plus decking and interior repairs from any leaks. See exactly how we calculate an offer.
