Selling your home can come with its share of challenges, especially when repairs are needed. One option you might consider is selling your home “as is,” meaning it’s sold in its current condition with no repairs or renovations made.
There are pros and cons to this. You can save time and money on the repairs and the selling process can be quicker. However, it will inevitably come with a lower selling price and potentially reduced interest. However, if this is the right option for you, here’s how to go about it.
Be honest about the condition. Transparency is crucial when selling as is. Being up-front about any issues can help you avoid legal troubles down the line.
Get a home inspection. Even though you’re selling as is, getting a professional inspection before listing can work in your favor. It gives you a clear picture of your home’s condition, reducing uncertainty and encouraging serious offers.
Price it competitively. Work with a real estate agent to set a realistic price based on comparable homes in your area. A well-priced home is more likely to attract interest and sell quickly.
Highlight the positives. Even if your home needs repairs, it probably still has strong selling points, such as a great location, spacious layout or unique architectural details.
Consider minor improvements. While major renovations aren’t necessary, a deep clean, decluttering or a fresh coat of paint can make a huge difference.

|---|
Heat broiler or turn on grill. Coat chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil chicken for 5 minutes. Turn and cook for about 5 minutes till done. Let cool. Once cool enough to handle, cut into bite-sized pieces.
Toss asparagus spears with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or broil asparagus until tender, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Cut spears into 2-inch lengths. In blender, combine parsley, garlic, lemon juice, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/3 cup oil. Puree until smooth. In a large bowl, toss chicken, asparagus, lettuce and half of the vinaigrette. Serve with remaining vinaigrette on hand for drizzling as desired.
Now that we’re a few months into the year, if you’re someone who made a resolution to eat healthier in 2025 but are running out of ideas for dinner ingredients, you’re not alone.
Here are four of the healthiest foods on the planet and the best way to enjoy them in a meal.
Spinach. Lauded as one of the most nutrient-packed superfoods on earth, this one is a no-brainer. It’s low in calories and high in vitamins, energy and folate, so it is an essential part of a delicious healthy diet. Try sautéing it in a pan with onion and garlic, then add to an omelet for a tasty lunch.
Avocado. Another superfood that is as substantial and satisfying as it is healthy. It’s full of monounsaturated fats (the healthy kind) and vitamin B6 and can be prepared in a number of exciting ways. Smash some avocado and spread it on some lightly buttered toast with a sprinkle of salt and pepper for a delicious healthy breakfast.
Lentils. A favorite of many vegans and vegetarians, lentils are high in fiber and protein and are often used in place of meat in certain dishes. As well as providing a wealth of health benefits, this popular legume will add a lovely flavor and enjoyable texture to your recipe. Add them to a stew or soup to give it that extra something.
Raspberries. If you have a sweet tooth, there are plenty of delicious healthy options for you, not least the raspberry. Filled with vitamin C, iron, calcium and many antioxidants, they’re an excellent dietary addition for a healthy body. Add a few to your morning oatmeal to start the day right.
