We had plumbing issues with our house from the first moment we moved in.
- There was bubbling in the lines, slow-moving drains and sewer water backing up into the tub and sinks.
The toilets often clogged, and there were foul odors wafting from the drains. I tried drain cleaners, drain snakes and plunging, but nothing helped. I paid to have the septic pumped. When I called in a professional plumber, I learned that we needed a septic tank replacement. The cost was estimated at seven thousand dollars. We also needed a new water heater, new roof and upgraded electrical panel. Our ductwork and heat pump were in very poor condition. The house was falling apart around us. My husband and I discussed options. We considered taking out a loan and making all of the necessary upgrades and repairs to the house. We weren’t eager to take on the debt, stress and mess. We thought about listing our property for sale. That would have entailed dealing with a real estate agent, home inspections, staging and open-houses. Even if we attracted a potential buyer, there was the risk of the deal falling through due to financing problems. Another possibility was going through a cash home buyer. This process appeared to be the quickest and simplest. We filled out an online form and received an offer with no obligation to accept. After thinking it over, we decided this was the best solution. We found a Jacksonville cash home buyer that purchases properties in any condition. It didn’t matter if the septic wouldn’t meet local codes. The cash home buyer helped us through the process, and we completed the closing in ten days.
