What repairs do I have to make before selling my home in Oklahoma?
Legally required repairs are minimal: Oklahoma sellers disclose known issues honestly, and serious safety defects like unpermitted electrical or structural problems can surface in inspections. Cosmetic repairs are your choice, driven by how they affect your net.
Oklahoma is generally a 'sell it as it is' state at law. You sign a property condition disclosure and you answer it truthfully, but the law does not force you to bring a home up to a renovated standard before listing it.
In practice, the market decides. A home marketed as-is can sell to a buyer who plans to renovate, and the price reflects that. A home marketed as move-in ready generally needs to actually feel that way, or buyers will price their own repair work into their offers.
Travis's advice is to treat repairs as math, not as chores: estimate what each fix costs, what it likely adds to an offer, and whether the gap is worth your time. If a repair doesn't pay for itself, an as-is path may fit better.
Travis's tip
Bring your inspection-ready items up to standard first: leaking fixtures, broken windows, HVAC the buyer can verify works. Small credibility fixes can keep a buyer from treating your whole home as a project.

What must I disclose as an Oklahoma seller?
Material defects you know about: structural issues, roof leaks, termite or pest damage, water intrusion, and similar. Answer the disclosure honestly. As-is does not mean no disclosure.
Can I refuse to make repairs a buyer wants?
Yes. You can counter with a lower price or simply decline. The buyer can then accept, negotiate, or walk. An as-is sale typically avoids this entire back-and-forth.
