When I first listed my home for sale, I had no idea of the difficulties involved. The realtor made it sound like I’d be moving out within a matter of days. She seemed very confident that I’d get the asking price without any problems at all. However, she suggested that I spruce up the property with some yard work and paint. She convinced me to buy plants and mulch, trim the shrubs and install new steps on the porch. I painted the exterior of the house and several of the rooms inside. I vigorously cleaned, picked up and organized for the sake of photos of the house. I then needed to vacate the home multiple times to accommodate viewings. I’d come home to footprints across the floor. It was several months before I finally received an offer. The offer relied on passing a home inspection. The home inspection was a nightmare. I was told that I needed to replace a perfectly reliable roof, update the electrical plugs, buy a new air conditioner and have the ductwork cleaned. The list of repairs was long and expensive. I realized that if I gave into the demands, it would cost me a small fortune. Plus, I’d need to take the time to call, hire and supervise professional workmen. I’d be living with the upheaval and mess. After all that, there was no guarantee the sale would go through. I became so frustrated with the ordeal that I turned to a cash home buyer. I contacted a local Jacksonville company that is family-owned. I was able to fill out an online contact form at my convenience. Once I submitted the inquiry, I had a cash offer in less than twenty-four hours. Because the cash offer was for the property in as-is condition, it was reasonable. I avoided all of those repairs.
