When my husband and I purchased our home, we invested into a home inspection. The house passed without any issues. The inspector overlooked some major concerns with hard water and the plumbing system. The water was overrun with rust and minerals, which led to pipes corroding and leaking. We constantly heard sounds of dripping inside the walls. We dealt with low water pressure, unpleasant smells and clogged drains. Faucets, shower heads, toilets, sinks, washing machines, water heaters and anything the water touched never lasted very long. Unfortunately, the leaking pipes led to structural damage, warped floors and mold growth. When we decided to sell the home, all of these concerns were listed in the home inspection. The potential buyer demanded that we have the entire house repiped. Not only would this level of repair cost us a fortune, it wasn’t a long-term solution. The hard water isn’t fixable. We’d tried water softeners without any success. Our goal was to walk away from the house as quickly and painlessly as possible. For us, the best avenue was to contact a cash home buyer. We researched the various companies available to us in Jacksonville, Florida. We preferred a family-operated and local business. We chose a cash home buyer with a solid reputation for honesty and reliability. The contact form was available online and wonderfully simply to fill out. We provided some information about the house and received a cash offer that same day. There was no obligation to accept the offer and no haggling. We were relieved to avoid plumbing repairs, building codes, realtor fees, closing fees and the requirements of bank funding. Once we agreed to the offer, the closing was completed very smoothly and swiftly.
