Unloading a house in a bad neighborhood

|

Jacksonville, Florida, is a really great place to live. The weather is beautiful just about year round with blue skies and sunshine. There is quick access to the river, the ocean and nearby lakes. The city offers professional sporting events, theater, concerts and an eclectic mix of dining options. There are gorgeous parks, museums, a renowned zoo and endless activities. The city of Jacksonville continues to grow and expand. My husband and I purchased a home right on the outskirts of an affluent community. We were able to afford the property because of its location in a seedier neighborhood. Our hope was that the value of our house would increase as the community prospered. We didn’t realize how awful it would be living in such an area. There are sirens, dogs barking, people arguing and even gunshots at all hours of the night. We had problems with theft and vandalism. We had graffiti spray-painted on our garage, windows broken and garbage strewn in our yard. I was afraid to come home to an empty house. I didn’t like being in the house alone. Eventually, I couldn’t tolerate living there anymore. When we listed our house, we received no offers. Very few people came to the open house. We weren’t sure how to proceed until my brother recommended a cash home buyer. He’d had very successful dealings with a local Jacksonville home buyer. I found the company’s online form and filled it out. We received a cash offer for our home that same day. The offer was fair, and the entire process was quick and simple.
