I bought my home almost ten years ago, it was old then.
I kind of liked the antique flair of it and figured it had charm.
After years of living in that old shack I realized that I hated doing any sort of update on it. All the old plumbing, eclectic, and HVAC fought me. All the building material was old and out of date. I had a difficult time making the house even slightly modern. It was also pretty ugly and no longer charming to me. I eventually realized that I wanted a modern home. So I decided to list my old home with a real estate agent. Every buyer wanted me to update things. New electric panel, new roof, better plumbing, the expensive wants went on and on. The real estate agent also pushed me to renovate, update, and stage the place. I realized I was still in my same exact mess. So what I did was give up on selling through an agent. I took matters into my own hands. I googled sell my old home for cash in Jacksonville Florida. I found a Florida real estate agency that does cash deals. That was such a better experience. The guy looked around my home, offered a price and that was it. We didn’t need to talk about updates or added work for me. I was able to leave with cash in hand to buy my next home. It was such a good experience that I know I will never list my property online again.
