About two years ago, I sold a home in Jacksonville to a cash home buyer.
For me, it was the best decision.
I had moved out of the home over a year before selling it. I upgraded to a larger residence in a more affluent neighborhood. With its wide front porch, large storage shed, modern kitchen and view of the river, it was simply too perfect to pass up. Since I could afford to purchase the property without selling the original house, I went ahead with the deal. I was reluctant to tackle the whole process of listing with a real estate agent. I knew it would involve showings, open-houses and sprucing the place up. I anticipated a home inspection leading to numerous repairs. Searching out a reputable contractor for roofing, electric and/or HVAC services was a lot more time and effort than I wanted to devote. I simply wanted to stop worrying about problems with the house, vandalism and taxes. The ideal alternative to a conventional sale was a cash home buyer. Nearly the entire transaction was handled online. I submitted a contact form and received a cash offer right away. After considering the offer for a day or two, I accepted it. The cash home buyer took care of the paperwork, logistics and any necessary details. We scheduled the closing for a week later. It was super simple, quick and stress-free. I was relieved to be out from under the responsibility of a property I no longer wanted. It was a positive experience.
