We Bought 561 Longview Dr, Antioch, IL β A Stress-Free Home Selling Solution
I received a phone call π from Gary, the son of the homeowner. His mother, the owner, had become elderly and ill π₯, requiring a transition to an assisted living facility π‘β€οΈ. She was no longer able to manage the mortgage payments π° or the upkeep of the house, so they needed to sell the property as soon as possible β³.
I walked the property π πΆ with Gary as he showed me around, pointing out various issues and allowing me to take extensive photos πΈ to help estimate renovation costs π¨. After the walkthrough, I returned to my office π₯οΈ to analyze the numbers and determine the cost of renovations. Once I had my figures, I called Gary π² to present my offer, and we agreed on a price π€π΅.
With an agreement in place, the next step was to send the terms to our attorney βοΈ. The attorney drafted the contract, and both parties signed βοΈβ
. Throughout the process, we remained flexible π€² with the sellerβs timeline, as Gary was the only one available to assist his mother in moving out and sorting through more than 20 years' worth of accumulated belongings π¦π¦π¦. Given the size of the house π , this was no small task πͺ.
Initially, I offered to take the house with all its contents ποΈ, but Gary wanted to keep certain items π and go through the belongings to preserve sentimental pieces β€οΈ for the family. He decided to handle the clean-out himself π§Ή. However, after an initial attempt to clear the property π, he was called away for work, delaying the process β³. As a result, the closing was postponed for another couple of months ποΈ.
We waited patiently β³, giving them the time they needed to complete the cleanout. After four months ποΈ, we finally closed on the property π. Immediately after closing, we began renovations π¨, and in just a few weeks π
, the home will be ready for a new family to tour π‘π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦, fall in love with β€οΈ, and make their dream home π.
