Charles and his wife needed a change of pace. While they had enjoyed their home on Lorch St. in Savannah, GA, they’d made plans to move out of state. With a new life in sight, they now had to sell their nearly 22-year-old condo before Christmas.

Charles knew selling an old house in the current market wouldn’t be popular. Deciding to look for an off-market option, he realized you could sell your house fast with a cash home buying company.

Cash Home Buyers Made Sense for the Kellys

Selling a house as-is was the most appealing option for their situation. Charles didn’t have wiggle room to make expensive home repairs and renovations. The property also needed curb appeal improvements to attract buyers.

Moreover, he lacked the budget for real estate agent guidance. The Kelly family had to consider interstate moving costs, potential storage unit expenses, and new job timelines. To Charles, selling an old house to a cash home buyer seemed best to avoid common home selling mistakes.

All Cash Buyer Companies Aren’t the Same

The Kellys initially attempted to work with one such company. However, despite over two weeks of communication, they finally replied that they were not buying homes in his area.

With so much time wasted, Charles couldn’t jump to the regular market and expect to get anywhere near the property market value. And with a condo as old as theirs, he expected home inspection issues. Despite being burned, he decided to reach out to a cash home buyer with a trusted local reputation. 

Home Buyers of Savannah Picks Up the Slack

Home Buyers of Savannah immediately scheduled an appointment and began the sales process. Their first days addressed several pressure points common in selling an old house and some of the Kellys’ unique issues:

• No repairs necessary
• No closing costs, commissions, or hidden fees
• No showings or listings to further disrupt their timeline
• A fair, equitable offer for their Savannah property

Then Patrick, the company’s co-founder, personally made an extra trip to the property with a contractor.

Above and Beyond Home Buying Services in Georgia

With a selling price agreed upon, Charles needed a closing date that both he and his wife could attend. Home Buyers of Savannah worked with Bouhan Falligant, a trusted local law firm recognized for its experience in real estate, to accommodate their needs in a pinch.

An attorney met the Kellys before normal business hours during Christmas week, and they closed before the holiday. As an extra benefit, the Kellys could use the property for storage for an extra 30 days instead of renting a separate unit.

Despite initial hiccups, the Kellys were able to sell their old house and move to another state quickly. Charles’ glowing review of the company’s assistance serves as a reminder of what local, trusted cash home buyers can do.
