Sheryl Sells Her Property From Out Of State

When you are trying to sell a home that is in rough shape, you are going to face some issues. When you are trying to sell that same home from out of state, you can run into even bigger roadblocks. Sheryl wanted to sell her Fort Washington property while living in South Carolina. She had owned the property for over 10 years, but it fell into disrepair and she didn’t have the means or the desire to fix it back up. This is her story–how of the problems she faced while owning the home, and how she was able to sell to 4 Brothers Buy Houses and get the value she felt she deserved. 

Dealing With Squatters

Living out of state with a property in disrepair can lead to some significant issues. For Sheryl, the biggest problem was squatters. Squatters had come to live in the property, and they vandalized both the interior and exterior. Sheryl eventually got rid of them but the damage had been done–the squatters damaged the property’s infrastructure. By the end of their time in the home, the electrical system and the plumbing no longer worked. 

Making The Decision To Sell

Initially, Sheryl did not want to sell the property. She wanted to find a way to salvage it, despite the problems and the damage that the squatters had caused. Eventually, she realized the cost that would be associated with keeping the home and fixing it back up. She made the decision to sell in September. 4 Brothers Buy Houses followed up with Sheryl and she felt comfortable working with their staff. 

Selling Her Home How She Wanted To

Sheryl was able to sell her property without even meeting her buyers in person. 4 Brothers Buy Houses sent staff members out to the property to inspect it while communicating with Sheryl via phone and email. The inspection took place in mid-September, after a few weeks of title work, the home went to closing on October 28th. Sheryl was able to sell her property without having to go through lengthy, expensive repairs. Which is exactly how she wanted to sell. 

Even though Sheryl’s property fell into disrepair, she was still able to sell for a price she was happy with. Even dealing with squatters and electrical and plumbing problems didn’t stop her from being able to get good value. The best thing about the sale was that Sheryl was able to get a price from 4 Brothers Buy Houses that she likely wouldn’t have been able to find on the open market, due to the repairs needed on the property.
