Question:
“Is there an inherent negative stigma to listing As Is?”
Answer:
I was very hesitant for many years to put “sold as is” in my marketing for a home. I felt it gave the impression that there were serious problems that the seller was unwilling to fix.
So yes, I think there WAS a stigma to saying a home was being sold As Is.
But I think that’s changed. It still means the seller doesn’t want to make repairs, but I no longer think it implies that the home has significant issues.
That being said, know that marketing your home As Is or even writing that in your contract with the buyer does not preclude the buyer from still requesting repairs or credits.
