Six hours away, a house empty for two years and money owed on it — sold simply, with no travel.

The situation

The owner lived about six hours away, and the house had sat empty for more than two years. She had thought about fixing it up, but the distance made it hard, and the cost felt like too much. On top of that, there were overdue property taxes and money still owed on the house. Every time she looked at it, the whole thing felt impossible. She didn't even know where to start.

The years had been hard on the place. The siding was worn and the garage was tired. The kitchen and both bathrooms were dated, the flooring was old, and paint was peeling. The heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical all needed work. She was stressed and overwhelmed, but she was ready to move on if she could just find the right help.

How we helped

We set up a closing she could do from home, so she never had to make the six-hour trip. We bought the house exactly as it was, so there was nothing for her to fix or clean out. And we took care of the overdue property taxes and what was still owed on the house, so those worries were handled for her.

We worked at the price and on the timeline that felt right to her. After the first call, she took about six months to be ready, and that was fine. When she said yes, we wrote up the agreement, and closing came about five weeks later.

Start to finish

What it meant for them

She walked away stress-free, with a simple sale handled entirely on her behalf and no trip to make.
