Sell Your House As-Is in Ontario

Q: Do I have to fix anything before selling?

No. We buy in any condition. No repairs, cleaning, or staging, and we do not require you to address anything an inspection turns up.

Q: Will the price drop after the walkthrough?

No. The offer we put in writing already accounts for the condition of the home. We do not renegotiate based on what we see during the walkthrough.

Q: Can I leave things behind?

Usually yes. If there are belongings, furniture, or debris you do not want to deal with, tell us and we can write that into the agreement so you can leave them.

Q: What kinds of homes do you buy as-is?

Homes with fire or water damage, foundation or roof problems, outdated electrical or plumbing, mould, long vacancies, unfinished renovations, or unregistered additions. Also estate homes and homes that would simply cost too much to prepare for a traditional listing.

Selling as-is means you transfer the property in its current condition and the buyer takes on any work. PrivateDeals buys as-is across Ontario. We do a single walkthrough, price in whatever the home needs, and do not renegotiate afterward. There is no cleaning, no repairs, and no staging, and because we are the buyer there is no commission and no financing condition.

How it works

You tell us about the property

A short call or form is enough. You do not need an inspection report or a list of defects; you only need to tell us what you reasonably know.

We view it once, as it is

A 30 to 45 minute walkthrough. Belongings, clutter, damage, and half-finished work are all fine. We are assessing what the home needs after purchase.

You get a firm written offer

Usually within 24 to 48 hours. The price already accounts for the condition, so there is no post-inspection renegotiation and no repair holdback.

You choose the closing date

From about 7 days to 6 months. Your lawyer handles the paperwork and funds are released on closing day.

What "as-is" means on an Ontario sale

In Ontario, an as-is sale is normally written into the agreement of purchase and sale, and the buyer waives the usual conditions. You still have to disclose latent defects you actually know about that make the home dangerous or unfit to live in; you do not have to disclose things you do not know about, and you are not expected to investigate. You can leave behind furniture and belongings if that is agreed in the contract. Every Ontario transfer still needs a lawyer on each side to complete the title work.

This is general information, not legal advice. Talk to your own real estate lawyer about disclosure and the terms of your agreement.
