Real-Life Solutions to Real-Life Problems
Every house has a story, and behind every house is a person navigating something hard. Here are a few of the homeowners we’ve had the honor of helping.
Any Situation. Any Condition.
The Last-Minute Save
Going through a divorce. Facing a foreclosure. Every time he took one step forward, it felt like he fell two steps back. He was making progress, though, he was sure he’d catch up on payments and save his house.
We’d been following up with him every few months, so he knew exactly who to call when his home was put up for auction through the Sheriff, on the block Monday at 8:00 AM. He called us on Friday. We had to work fast and know exactly what we were doing (his ex-wife had moved to South America, and we’d need her signature since the deed was still in both names).
We were running up the courthouse steps at 7:50 AM Monday with all the legal paperwork in hand. He walked away with cash from the sale, and saved his credit from an even bigger hit.
The Tired Landlord
The house was a rental, passed down from her mother-in-law, and the renters weren’t paying. The house needed work, too. Her late husband had started the repairs himself, but a lot was left to fix.
It was too much to take on alone, and she wasn’t sure how to sell a house that needed repairs and had troublesome tenants living in it. She called us, we bought the house as-is and took care of the tenants for her, too.
“I needed to get out from underneath it, it was a big weight on my shoulders. And you made it so easy. The next day I felt like the weight of the WORLD had been taken off. SO easy, thank you!”
The Retiree’s Top Pick
Memories. Beautiful, but painful, they surrounded him every moment of the day. His wife had passed, and he was ready to move into a retirement community he’d researched thoroughly. One problem: a long waiting list, and a lot of paperwork, follow-up, and logistics.
Luckily, he sold the house to us instead of someone less experienced, and we were more than happy to get everything arranged on his behalf. We checked in with the community every couple of weeks and kept him updated on his place in line.
A few months later he was at the top of the list, and we scheduled movers to help him into his new home. Seven months passed from purchase agreement to closing day, exactly the timeline he needed.
