Should I fix the tile?
Hi BP Community -
I am selling a house as executor. I want to sell "as is", with some touch-ups done like paint, clean carpets, trim up the landscaping. It's a higher end house in an HOA, backing up to Army Corps of Engineers land off of a lake, good condition overall, 16 years old, has been a rental the past 3 years.
That’s the background, here’s the question: the entryway tile has a crack in it, which in Texas implies foundation shifting - not for sure, but common. Estimates to fix the tile are in the $5,000 range because you’d have to replace all to match as it goes into the kitchen. Should I get the tile fixed or keep the “as is” part? (Market here is as good as any other, houses going quickly)
