I lived in my house for many years but wanted to pay less in taxes so my wife and I moved to Virginia where our kids lived. We thought possibly one of our children would maybe want the house someday, so we left it empty. Unfortunately, with two rough winters and the home unoccupied, there was irreversible damage. I didn’t want to spend the money on repairs or supervise the contractor since it was a thirty-minute drive (which actually equates to two hours in traffic) between the two houses.n On top of the repair cost and time spent on my part, to sell it with a realtor would’ve meant another 3% down the drain in commissions. I also didn’t want people in the house leaving the AC or heat blasting, doors unlocked, and muddy footprints that I would have been responsible for cleaning. n Needless to say I began researching ulterior options in selling the property. I came across House Buyers of America and decided to give you a call. Even after talking to the sales rep, I thought for sure I was going to get a raw deal, but to my great surprise everything went according to his promises. The Field Manager inspected the house, we agreed on a fair deal, settlement was set, and soon I got a call to schedule a time. They even helped me out with a close location to meet them and sign the papers.n I am so glad I chose this route to sell my house. It’s not for everyone, but if someone has a situation like mine I really recommend they give you guys a call.
