No.  Too many downsides.  Nothing wrong with disclosing issues and offering "x" credit toward repairs. 

No. I would not lend money for repairs. I would introduce then to a contractor who would offer a deferred payment.

No I would not...  neither a lender or a borrower be.... this would be a particularly bad situation to create this kind of relationship with a client.. reduce the price and sell as is...  people are always looking for fixer uppers!

no...no....no...no...and absolutely not.....

No way. Not at all. Nope. 

Anything can happen, and the house may not get sold. If there's no money now, there may not be any later, too. 

Absolutely NOT!

Golly no. It's not even allowed!!! :)

No.

NO, because there is never a guarantee a home will sell and i would get it back. I provide tips and when it comes to work, we can price the home accordingly. 

No, I would try to be of help otherwise but I am not a lender.

No, but I might help them do some minor repairs. Also would have to weigh cost of needed repairs vs reducing list price.

No I would not, I may ask to borrow money myself Debbie.

Debbie Reynolds No I wouldn't.

NO, NO, EMPHATIC, NO.

What I would suggest is that seller finds out what the costs would be to do those improvements, and subtract them from the value if the home was updated and list it at this price.

Debbie Reynolds depends how close relationship you have with the seller. For just ANY seller, my answer will be 'NO'!

Absolutely not.  I've never been asked and I hope I never will be!

We recently offered to front the funds to get some work done on a listing.  I'd already done a couple of transactions with this client and he has become a friend.

The seller was kind of of blown away that we offered to assist.  The offer was paired with an agreement to repay, of course.  I had no doubt the property would sell, but the seller was nervous about it.

The painter agreed to be paid through escrow.  I advanced upfront HOA fees.  There are three HOA's and the combined doc fees were $880.00.  I also advanced funds for the cleaning lady.  The seller paid for the handyman and carpet cleaning.

Depends on how much, what for and the kind of agreement we have in listing the home.    I would also look at some kind of personal property I could use as collateral.

Definitely NO Selling "AS IS" with the right to inspect.

No. Nyet.  Nada. 

No! Just price the home accordingly.

Yes I would...if I was a legally operating lending institution. As his REALTOR? NO.

No I would not! I would suggest they either sell the property AS IS or give credit for repairs needed.

Ask the contractors to get paid after escrow.

Not exactly. I have fronted repairs with the verbal agreement that the items would be paid for by the Seller (she was a dentist) immediately afterwards. Everything worked out well.

No, and in 26 years I have never had that as an issue.

Not a chance. But I would help them arrange a home equity loan or find a contractor that would accept payment at the time of sale.

Absolutely NOT! Two routes to go: There are contractors with deferred payment plans (As Roy Kelley suggested) or get bids on the repairs and reduce the list price by that amount (I have done this in the past).

No, I am not in the lending for repairs business.

No. I would disclose the shortcoming on the disclosures and take that into consideration when pricing the property.

Good morning Debbie. It would depend on the relationship I had with the seller.

 Good Monday morning Debbie. It seems as if most of the folks have responded with a no. Why would you? Why would you even want to?

Debbie - I would not lend a seller money to fix repairs to their home prior to selling. I would recommend what Ron and Alexandra Seigel mentioned.

No....if you think the time on the market is relatively short...and you trust the Seller...you may be able to get contractors to be paid at closing OR put on the Sellers' credit card to be paid off at closing.
