Selling Mom’s Home, Fast!
Helping a Family Take Care of Their Mom
Our parents love and care for us, taking great care in raising us and protecting us. They are strong and capable but as they age certain tasks can become cumbersome and safety can be a concern. As children, we begin to worry for our parents and their general safety in their homes alone and we seek out resources for support to make sure their quality of life is the best it can be. In some cases, this is giving them the resources that are provided by an assisted living facilities. But on top of the stress of finding the right place and moving your parent, you are now looking at the added task of finding funding and selling their property.
Selling Mom and Dad’s home is just another hurdle in the race to get them into a better situation. Rarely do you have the time or resources to go through a traditional real estate process. You need that extra income so that your parents are taken care of in their new home.
Grandview Homes offers an alternative to traditional home buying. We buy homes for cash and even give up to $10,000 cash incentive for those buyers looking to sell quickly. For this family looking to take care of their mom’s health and safety, this is exactly what they needed.
Problem: The Family Is Concerned for Mom’s Deteriorating Health
Over the past few years, the health of the homeowner (and mother of our client) had severely deteriorated causing her to be unable to safely live on her own. The family was extremely stressed with their mom’s current living situation and with each passing year that stress level grew. As mom’s health became more of a concern the family made the hard decision to move her into an assisted living facility. On top of the new stress of finding the right place for her they had the added pressure of figuring out what to do with the property, and fast! They needed the funding that would come from selling the house in order to pay for their mom’s new living situation and as health was their number one concern, they needed to sell fast.
As if those logistics were not enough to contend with, the home had not been updated in 30 years. While the bones of the home were in good shape the home was outdated did not possess the modern amenities most potential buyers in a traditional real estate market were looking for and was contained the homeowner’s possessions collected over the years. With little time, resources, and funding to clear out and repair the home, the family had a growing fear that the house might not sell. The more the family thought about it the more they realized they needed an alternative to the traditional real estate market. They needed an option to sell the home as-is, and quick!
The Process Was Simple & Easy
Looking for a solution that fit all their needs they found Grandview Homes. After a brief phone call with us discussing the basics of the home and their needs we worked around their schedule and set up a time to meet in person at the home just 2 days later. After our initial arrival at the home for inspection, we met with the entire family to discuss our home buying process and answer all of their questions. During the home visit, we looked at all aspects of the home taking photos and making note of the potential concerns. After about 20 minutes at the home, we were back at the office working on their total home evaluation and creating their Fair Cash offer. The next day we were able to provide them with an offer and contract for purchase.
As the family’s main concern was time, we worked quickly and efficiently. The no-pressure, no-obligation contract took only 4 days from the initial call to the emailed contract took only 4 days.
Solution: The Family Home was Sold & Mom is Safe
The family was ecstatic about their offer! Not only did they no longer have to worry about selling the home, they now had the funds available to put her in a safer situation. With closing costs covered, all they had to do was remove the possessions that they wanted to keep and pick their closing date. All of the stress and anxiety were washed away in just 4 days of working with Grandview Homes.
We closed 2 weeks later, giving the family enough time to make the necessary arrangements for their mom and get her possessions in order. Their family was finally stress-free with their mom in a safer home. From there, anything left and unwanted was handled by Grandview Homes.
