Problems VIV regularly considers
VIV evaluates each property on its own, including homes most buyers would walk away from.
- Roof failure or leaks
- Foundation and structural issues
- Water, fire or storm damage
- Outdated electrical, plumbing or HVAC
- Long-term deferred maintenance
How repair costs affect the offer
VIV estimates the work the house needs and explains that estimate along with the offer. You can compare it against the cost and time of making the repairs yourself.
Common questions
- Do I need contractor estimates first?
- No. VIV does its own assessment during the walkthrough. If you already have estimates, feel free to share them.
- Will you buy a house with active damage?
- Often, yes. Let VIV know what happened and it will tell you honestly whether it can make an offer.
