Should I sell my house as is?

My contractor offered to buy my house a while back. There are many things that need to be done but I am unable to fix financially.
He offered 50k less than what we are trying to get. My realtor is selling it as is. She said there is always someone with more money. He is trying to low ball me. Then he asked me why did I pick the homeowner’s insurance that I have. He wanted me to file a claim so I could get things fix . Apparently the insurance that I have give him a hard time.
