I first learned of House Buyers of America after my father-in-law passed away, and I was the executor of his estate. Losing a loved one is always a difficult time, and sensitivity is required. Dealing with my father-in-law’s house, which was in a state of disrepair, quickly became one of my biggest headaches. Within days of being named executor, I was inundated with phone calls–on my cell phone–from various investors and companies trying to buy the house. My wife and I invest in distressed homes, but not in the area where my father-in-law’s house was located, so we committed to selling early. The only question was whether we would rehab the property before selling or sell it as-is. House Buyers was pleasantly persistent in wanting to buy the house, but without the pushy, faux-sensitive phone calls I received from other potential buyers. Given my experience with rehabbing homes, I had a fair idea of the value of the home and what it would cost us to rehab it, so I knew what a fair price would be. In the end, House Buyers made a more-than-fair offer that was higher than other potential buyers. Going through the hassle of a full rehab would have generated little additional cash and been a much bigger hassle. House Buyer’s contracts were simple, and once we agreed on the price, they delivered the contract quickly. They provided us with the needed flexibility on the timing for closing, and we were able to close when we were ready without any major hiccups.
