When my mother had a stroke, my father needed immediate help.
I am fortunate that my workload can be handled entirely remote and online.
This allowed me to book a flight and be quickly available to my parents. My plan was to stay for a week or two and then head back to my home in Jacksonville, Florida. I’ve never been a fan of the snow and cold in the northeast. However, it soon became apparent that my parents were unable to manage on their own. Although my mother recovered from the stroke, there were some lingering issues. She had difficulty with her balance and required a walker. She was not very good about using the walker. She also tended to forget to take her medication. My father has concerns with his kidneys and blood pressure. He is also taking a series of medications. My dad had never cooked a meal, used the washing machine or run the dishwasher. I realized that I needed to move back home with them. There were so many arrangements that had to be made, I simply couldn’t deal with selling my house in Jacksonville. I was looking for a stress-free, streamlined and swift alternative to a conventional sale. The answer was a cash home buyer. The process was wonderfully simple. I filled out the online form and received a cash offer in under twenty-four hours. The cash home buyer handled the paperwork. There were no requirements such as appraisals, inspections or repairs. I didn’t even need to clean the house or empty it. The closing happened about a week later.
