When I initially moved to Jacksonville, I purchased a house that I couldn’t afford. The real estate market was making it legitimately hard to purchase a home. Properties were selling legitimately hastily as well as often for above the asking price. I was in the process of relocating from the northern part of the country to accept a job at a brand new business. The business showed real promise as well as provided by a significant increase in salary as well as prestige. Feeling pressure to secure living arrangements as well as getting swept up in the dynamic real estate market, I made an offer on a house on the St. Johns river. The house was far larger than I needed. I appreciated the gorgeous view of the river as well as the boat dock. I had aspirations of buying a kayak, paddleboard as well as someday, a small sailboat. I should have been slightly suspicious by the brand new appliances, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, walls as well as floors. I later realized that everything had been upgraded due to flood detriment. I was barely covering the mortgage payments when a hurricane hit, the river overflowed as well as water rushed into my home. Not only did the dirty flood water destroy all of my furnishings, floors, appliances as well as fixtures, it created problems with moisture. This led to mold as well as mildew growth, musty odors as well as health problems. At about that same time, my business went bankrupt as well as I lost my job. There was no way I could afford the expense of repairs. I also knew that selling the house in its current condition would be just about impossible. My solution was to contact a cash home client that accepts houses in any state of disrepair.

I love living in Jacksonville.
Coastal living offers all sorts of unique benefits.
However, it also creates some challenges. A few years ago, a hurricane came through the area and caused extensive damage to my home. High winds, storm surfers and heavy rainfall led to problems with the roof, windows and walls. The force of the hurricane compromised the stability of the home. The structural issues required immediate attention. When I called in a professional for an estimate, the cost of reinforcing walls, addressing foundation concerns and roofing materials was huge. The combination of torrential rain and storm surges resulted in flooding. The water rushed into the home and destroyed cupboards, floors and appliances. The moisture led to mold and mildew growth and health hazards. The contractors recommended bringing in industrial-grade dehumidifiers. The hurricane made it necessary to replace the electrical system, water heater, furnace and air conditioner. Although I had kept up with insurance premiums, the policy excluded natural disasters from coverage. The whole house was a disaster and continuing to live in it wasn’t an option. I was reluctant to invest into a full repair and renovation with the possibility of another hurricane in the future. I no longer wanted to live on the river. Listing the house wasn’t an option. There was no way anyone could secure a bank loan on a house in that condition. My solution was to sell the house for cash. Cash buyers are willing to take on properties in need of work. I was able to close on the sale in ten days and walk away with cash in hand.

She said the house was priceless and asked who the potential buyer was
I was just getting out of my car and getting a bag of groceries out of the car when a woman parked behind me in my driveway. She got out of her car and offered to help me carry the groceries into the car. She handed me her business card and said she was a new realtor and would love to sell my house for me. I hadn’t been planning on selling my house. She took the other bag of groceries from the car and followed me up the walkway. She kept talking about how lovely my house was and how it must be even nicer inside. I loved my house, and my husband and I had spent a lot of money remodelling it to be what we wanted. When she walked in the door, her jaw dropped open and she set the groceries on the marble sink counter. She told me she could sell my house without cleaning it and kept looking around. She said she didn’t know how to price the house and would love to bring another realtor with her to look at the house. An hour later, I had a second realtor in my home. She said the house was priceless and asked who the potential buyer was. I told them my house wasn’t for sale until the second realtor told me what she could get for the house. I told her I would talk to my husband, but she would need to have a buyer before we said yes. A month later, we sold our house without cleaning it, bought a house and turned it into a dream home, and put cash into the bank.

I hadn’t been planning on selling our house. She took the other bin of groceries from the car and followed myself and others up the walkway. She kept talking about how beautiful our house was and how it must be even nicer inside. I enjoyed our house, and our husband and I had spent a lot of money remodelling it to be what every one of us wanted, however when she walked in the door, her jaw dropped open and she set the groceries on the marble sink counter. She told myself and others she could sell our house separate from cleaning it and kept looking around. She said she didn’t suppose how to price the house and would appreciate to bring another realtor with her to look at the house, but an hour later, I had a fourth realtor in our home. She said the house was priceless and asked who the potential client was. I told them our house wasn’t for sale until the fourth realtor told myself and others what she could get for the house. I told her I would talk to our husband, but she would need to have a client before every one of us said yes. A week later, every one of us sold our house separate from cleaning it, bought a house and turned it into a dream home, and put cash into the bank.
