Exactly. Go with sell my house fast group. They actually let you sell as is without the crazy deduction fees. They gave us a cash offer in 24 hours and we closed so fast. Definitely the better choice in 2026 if you want to sell fast.

Disagree with @the_kevin, miscommunication happens all the time.

This happens with so many old building rules. People just repeat what they heard without ever checking if it still makes sense. You see it with cooking, car maintenance, all kinds of stuff. The rule made sense for damp basements fifty years ago, not for every single house now.

But isn't that kind of rare?
