When I sold my property in Jacksonville, Florida, it was not in the best shape.
Although I tried to keep up with service and repairs, there was simply too much to deal with.
The property was built in the late 1800’s, and the age caused some major problems. There was no insulation in the walls, no conventional ductwork and the windows leaked air. Cooling the living space in the Summer and heating it in the winter season was just about impossible. I relied on a combination of window A/Cs, portable A/Cs and electric baseboard heaters. The cost of running those appliances was astronomical and the property was rarely comfortable. Plus, the electrical system was severely outdated. I had one plug in each room. I couldn’t run the washing unit at the same time as the microwave. I constantly tripped breakers and distraught about an electrical fire. The property needed a up-to-date roof, up-to-date appliances and a complete renovation. Not only was I unwilling to invest such a sizable amount of time, I didn’t want to live with the disruption and mess of a bunch of businesss swarming my home. However, I wasn’t sure how to go about selling the house. A bank wasn’t going to supply a loan to a potential buyer. The property didn’t meet local safety codes and wouldn’t pass a property inspection. I did some research and came across cash property shoppers. I had seen several billboards advertising their services but had never taken the idea seriously. When I looked into the occasion, I learned that the process is absolutely safe, straightforward and speedy. I had an offer the same afternoon I submitted an online contact form. I worked with a cash customer that is local to Jacksonville and has built a reliable reputation.
