Answer: Certainly. All you need is to find a buyer who's ready to pay all cash and willing to take on the repair. But if you're asking whether a lending institution would give a buyer a mortgage loan under those circumstances, the answer is no.
You might offer to hold a mortgage yourself, collecting the sale price month by month over a period of years. (If you did that, of course, you'd want help from your own accountant and lawyer in judging whether the buyer was a good risk, and setting up the right paperwork.)
Another solution would be to find a worker who agreed to fix the problem and then wait to be paid from the proceeds of the sale. It would help if you could show you were putting the house on the market at a bargain price for a prompt sale.
No Longer Listed
Dear Edith: We made an offer on a home using a Realtor. The seller, represented by a Realtor, rejected the offer. Seller de-listed the home. Can I approach the seller as a "for sale by owner" now without Realtors? By doing this money could be saved and I believe I can show the seller he would make sufficient money to sell me the home. Obviously, the money savings would be due to the absence of Realtor's commission. -- Via e-mail
Answer: The listing contract that homeowner signed probably contained a provision that a commission would be due if the place was later sold to someone who saw it while it was listed. This understanding is usually in effect for a specific number of months after the listing expires.
In addition, there's the question of whether you were simply "working with" an agent, or had signed a contract specifically hiring that person to represent you. If you did, better read your document to see if you might have some responsibility there.
