We review the property and explain our cash offer. Compare the written price, any inspection terms, what stays with the house, and what you will receive at closing.
If you accept, we work with you on the closing and possession dates. Existing ownership, payoff, and local transfer requirements still need to be addressed before the sale completes.
Your Bloomington sale decision
The Time-of-Sale findings can change the choice between repairs and an as-is sale. Obtain the written findings before committing the repair budget.
Use the Time-of-Sale findings to identify which conditions the buyer is evaluating rather than negotiating around an undefined repair list.
Review the evaluation before prioritizing projects so the repair budget responds to actual findings rather than presentation alone.
Verify the property type, transfer, current exclusions, and scheduling requirements with Bloomington Building and Inspections.
An as-is cash sale can reduce preparation and financing uncertainty. A listing may produce a higher price if you have time to prepare and market the home. Compare your expected proceeds after payoffs, agreed costs, and continued ownership expenses, along with the work and timing each route requires.

Do not assume it does. The City says the program also applies to covered ownership changes that are not publicly listed. Ask staff about your particular transfer and any available exclusion.
City property guide for Bloomington property owners
A Bloomington fast sale plan must account for the City's Time-of-Sale process before marketing, showings, or closing dates are set. The evaluation applies to covered single-family and two-family homes, condominiums, townhouses, and mobile homes offered for sale, and it includes an energy disclosure. Immediate hazards receive different treatment from ordinary noted deficiencies. By ordering the evaluation early, locating permit records, and understanding any follow-up, you can compare repairs and listing preparation with an as-is offer instead of making that choice from guesswork.
Start by confirming that the property type and transfer are covered by Bloomington's current Time-of-Sale program. The City says covered dwellings need an inspection and an evaluation report filed before they are offered for sale. The report must be available at the property and provided to the buyer, and the City currently treats it as valid for one year for the named owner. Schedule through the City or an authorized evaluator, then keep the evaluation, energy disclosure, and any certificate with your sale file. The energy disclosure reports observed efficiency features; the City says it does not itself require energy upgrades.
Read the findings by category instead of turning the whole report into a renovation list. The City's program distinguishes immediate hazards from other deficiencies and requires City follow-up for hazardous corrections. If you cannot reasonably complete a cited hazard, ask Bloomington staff whether the buyer-assumption process is available for the specific condition and what written City consent is needed. Search the property through Bloomington's permit portal as well. That search can help you identify permits or planning records that deserve a direct status question before a buyer or lender raises it.
Now put the choices on one page. For listing, include evaluation timing, required hazard work, permit finals, contractor access, showings, and carrying costs. For an as-is proposal, review inspection and cancellation rights, the buyer's treatment of TOS findings, closing costs, contents, and possession. An as-is sale may reduce elective preparation, but it should not be presented as a way around the City's transfer process. A written comparison grounded in the actual TOS report is more useful than a broad repair estimate.
