Choosing the speed of a cash sale
When I sold my house in Jacksonville, Florida, I wanted to avoid delays and uncertainties.
The priority was a speedy turnaround and minimal stress.
I realized that my property wasn’t in the best condition. I’d fallen behind on maintenance and upgrades and was extremely short on funds. I doubted the house could pass a home inspection. In order for a potential buyer to secure financing from the bank, I’d have been required to replace the roof and the heat pump. They’d have demanded a brand new electrical panel, new water heater and possibly repairs to the foundation. My hope was to move onto the next chapter of my life as smoothly and swiftly as possible. A conventional listing and mortgage transaction can take weeks or even months to complete. There are realtor fees, negotiations and lots of paperwork. I needed access to the full amount from the sale immediately. The alternative was to work with a cash home buyer. Cash home buyers have the experience and resources to streamline every step of the sale. They save time and handle the intricacies. There is very little risk involved. I reached out to a local, Jacksonville cash home buyer by way of their online contact form. I received a cash offer in less than twenty-four hours. Considering the condition of my house, the offer was fair. Once I accepted, everything moved ahead quickly. We closed on the property in less than ten days. I wasn’t expected to make improvements to the house, repairs or even clean it. I simply moved out and appreciated having the cash in my pockets.
