My Mother passed away leaving me the job of selling the house my parents had built 70 years ago and had grown up in. My nephew was living in the house but had just closed on his own house, so I needed to move quickly because I did not want our family house to be empty. The house had “good bones” but had barely been updated since it was built and was in a neighborhood that had been declining. Updating it myself and paying a realtor to sell the house would probably cost more than the house was worth, so I decided to sell it “As Is”.
The 1st company I contacted looked and said “it wasn’t a good fit” for them, which made me nervous. The 2nd company offered a reasonable figure, but I thought we should get more. The 3rd company offered an amount that was insulting. So I was worried that I would have to take the “not great” offer, until a family member talked with Brian Stewart at Velocity Home Buyers about my situation.
Brian called me immediately and told me he thought he could help, met me at the house, and within a day sent me what I considered a fair all-cash offer. The best part was we did not have to clean the house, and we could simply take the things we wanted and leave the rest.
My family still had belongings that we needed to sort through, and since half of my siblings lived out of town, Brian gave us plenty of time after we signed the agreement to close on the house and was willing to change the closing date if we needed more time. Closing was a breeze.
All in all, I liked the low-key way that Brian presented himself and his company. It was an amazingly easy process, much easier than I expected, and what a relief I felt to have the house sold so quickly and easily!
I highly recommend Velocity Home Buyers!
