When I decided to sell my home in Jacksonville, Florida, I initially listed with a real estate agent.
I went through the expense, hassle and time of taking pictures, open houses and haggling with potential buyers.
When it finally looked like the house was going to sell, we scheduled a home inspection. I was unpleasantly surprised by the results. My home failed to pass the inspection because of mold growth in the crawlspace, traces of asbestos and lead paint. The living conditions were considered unsanitary and hazardous. The threat to human health made the home impossible to sell. I looked into the cost of repairs, but the expense was beyond my budget. I was also reluctant to spend a lot of money on a house that I was preparing to move out of. Since I had already put a down payment on a new house, I needed to sell my existing property as quickly as possible. I searched around for alternative options and came across a local cash home buyer. The company is family-owned and has been around for quite a few years. They’ve helped hundreds of homeowners get out from under properties in poor condition. They buy homes that fail inspections. Properties that don’t meet local building and safety codes are no problem. There is no need to schedule repairs, mess with staging or worry over qualifying for financing. The cash home buyer has the assets to buy the house outright. Once I filled out the online contact page, I received a reasonable offer that same day. There was no obligation, and I was given time to think it over. I accepted and the closing process moved ahead swiftly. I walked away with the full purchase price in my bank account in less than two weeks.
