Once I received the cash offer, I spoke with representatives of the company multiple times.
The last hurricane that swept through Florida barely touched Jacksonville. There were high winds and lots of rain. Most homeowners dealt with nothing more than a brief power outage and small sticks in their yard. Unfortunately, my home was devastated by a very large tree. We were lucky that no one got hurt. The tree fell right on the roof and everything collapsed under it. We were left with broken windows, crumbled walls, holes in the floors and broken plumbing pipes. The tree damaged the ductwork, light fixtures and multiple appliances. The house was no longer habitable. My family was forced to vacate and move into a hotel. Because of the giant hole in the roof, we also sustained extensive water damage. There were bugs, dirt and mold in our living space. We immediately called our insurance company. It quickly became apparent that we weren’t going to get enough money to make repairs. We were unwilling to invest a great deal of money. After the scare of that tree falling and how close my family came to getting seriously hurt, we were not eager to move back in. We wanted to sell our house. However, it wasn’t possible to list the house with a realtor. The property wasn’t anywhere near passing an inspection or qualifying for a bank loan. Our only hope was to sell to a cash home buyer. We were fortunate to find a locally-owned and operated cash home buyer who provided very personalized service. They were wonderful to work with. I initially contacted them via their online form. Once I received the cash offer, I spoke with representatives of the company multiple times. I learned that they are a family operation and have helped hundreds of homeowners in the Jacksonville area. They arranged the closing for ten days later. It was a huge relief to walk away from the property with sufficient money to find new housing.
