How do I sell a house with unpermitted work?

i'm handy and work in the trades. not licensed, but can do quality work, even better than a lot of guys that do this work all day. i didn't get permits for the renovations that i did on my house. can i still sell it?

You can still sell it, but you must: Disclose the unpermitted work Understand that buyers may request repairs, credits, or price adjustments Consider bringing the work up to code if required by the buyer’s lender Some buyers (especially cash buyers) are more flexible with unpermitted updates. Transparency is key.
