Can You Sell a House As-Is Without an Inspection in Florida?
Yes, You Can And We’ll Show You How to Do It Simply, Safely, and On Your Terms
Why Skip the Inspection?
Inspections Can Feel Like a Dealbreaker But They Don’t Have to Be Part of the Sale
Home inspections are meant to protect buyers but for sellers, they can feel like a trap. If your home needs work or hasn’t been updated in years, the idea of an inspector walking through with a checklist can be stressful, expensive, and even embarrassing.
Many homeowners want to skip inspections because:
🛠️ They know the house needs repairs they can’t afford
⏳ They don’t have time to fix things or wait through buyer negotiations
😟 They’re afraid of what the inspection might uncover
🏪 The home is inherited, outdated, or in poor condition
💸 They just want a clean, fast sale with no extra costs or surprises
Whatever your reason, you’re not alone. And yes, you can sell your house without an inspection.
Do You Have to Get an Inspection to Sell?
No, you are not legally required to get a home inspection before selling in Florida.
Inspections are typically part of a buyer’s due diligence when they’re financing a home or buying through a real estate agent. But if you’re selling your house as-is to a cash buyer, you can skip the inspection altogether.
That means:
- You don’t have to fix anything first
- You don’t need to pay for an inspector
- You’re not stuck waiting for buyer approval or lender conditions
We buy houses just like yours, as-is, no inspections needed. We’ll do a simple walkthrough (not a formal inspection) and make you a fair cash offer based on the current condition. No pressure. No surprises.
How the Process Works (And What You Can Expect)
Selling a house as-is without an inspection might sound complicated, but it’s actually the simplest way to sell. Here’s how we make it easy:
✅ Step 1: Tell Us About the Property
Fill out our short form or give us a call. No need to clean, fix anything, or prepare for showings.
✅ Step 2: We Talk a Look
We’ll do a quick, no-pressure walkthrough (either in person or virtually) to understand the condition of the home. This isn’t a formal inspection, just us getting eyes on it so we can make an informed offer.
✅ Step 3: Get Your Cash Offer and Close on Your Timeline
You’ll receive a no obligation offer based on the home’s current condition and local market value. No fees, no repairs, no strings. If you accept our offer, we’ll work on your timeline whether you want to close in a week or need more time.
The entire process is designed to be simple, transparent, and on your terms so you can move forward with confidence, not confusion and a local team you can trust.
Do I Still Have to Fix Anything or Worry About Future Problems?
Great question and one we hear often.
When you sell your house as-is to a cash buyer like us, you don’t have to make repairs, and you won’t be held responsible for what happens after the sale. That’s because we buy properties in their current condition, fully understanding the risks.
Here’s what that means for you:
No repairs required. We expect the home to need work
No formal inspection, just a simple look at the overall condition
No cleaning or prep. You can leave unwanted items behind
No liability after closing. We assume full responsibility moving forward
You’ll still provide basic disclosures required by Florida law (such as anything you know is materially wrong), but we don’t nitpick or make you guess what might be hidden behind the walls. If you’re unsure, just be honest, that’s all we ask.
Selling as-is is truly that: as it is today, no extras expected.
Will I Still Get a Fair Price Without an Inspection?
We get it “as-is” and “no inspection” might sound like code for “lowball offer.” But that’s not how we operate.
We make offers based on three simple things:
1. The condition of the home right now
2. The local market value, what similar homes in your area are selling for
3. The cost we’ll take on to repair, hold, and resell the property
You’ll get a clear, honest offer that reflects what we can realistically pay while still making it a win-win. There are no hidden fees, no commissions, and no obligation to accept.
We’ll walk you through how we came up with the number and if it doesn’t work for you, that’s totally okay. You won’t hurt our feelings.
This is about helping you move on, not haggling or playing games.
Hear From Sellers Who Sold As-Is
“After my mother passed, I inherited her house in Bradenton but didn’t have the time or energy to deal with it. Kitty and her team were so kind, respectful, and made the whole process incredibly easy. They gave me a fair offer and handled everything. Highly recommend!”
Michelle R., Bradenton, FL
"Our home had been vacant for years and needed major repairs. We didn’t know where to start or who to trust. Kitty and her team made the entire process stress-free. They bought it as-is, no pressure, no hidden fees, and closed quickly. We’re so relieved to have it behind us!"
Jason & Maria A., Sarasota, FL
“We were embarrassed by the shape the house was in,years of neglect, clutter, and damage. We didn’t think anyone would want it. From day one, Kitty made us feel at ease. No pressure, no judgment, just real help. They kept things simple with a fair offer so we could move on."
