The attorney told us to sell the house for cash

|

I’m glad that the attorney suggested selling the house fast for cash, because I would not have thought about that particular option

My wife and I inherited a property from our family member. We were not expecting to receive the property, which is located in Jacksonville, Florida. My wife and I live in the state of Maine, about 1500 miles away from the house in Jacksonville, Florida. Neither one of us wanted to sell our house and move down south. We spoke with a real estate attorney to find out if we had any good options. The real estate attorney suggested selling the house fast for cash. My wife and I didn’t know anyone in Jacksonville, Florida, but the real estate attorney was very helpful. The real estate attorney found a cash buyer for the house. The buyer was located in Georgia, but they were looking to relocate to Duval county. The cash buyer offered a reasonable amount of money for the Jacksonville property. It was about a third of what I felt the property would fetch, but we didn’t have to pay many fees. We saved a ton of money not using a realtor. The lawyer took a small fee and we still had $68,000. We didn’t make a fortune, but it was really easy to offload the property using a cash buyer. I’m glad that the attorney suggested selling the house fast for cash, because I would not have thought about that particular option. I was ready to find a property management company to handle the house repairs and then we were going to rent it out to a local couple. I’m much happier being done with the property altogether.
