Well, we did it again.
Gave somebody money to get rid of a house they didn’t want anymore.
I got a call the other day from a very nice lady named Barbara who wanted to sell her house without an agent here in Louisville Kentucky. She’d been thinking for a long time about what to do with her old house. She’d raised a family there and had a lot of fondness for the place, which anyone can understand. Her family had been nudging her for a while to sell the thing, but she couldn’t quite do it. Sell Your House Without an Agent in Louisville KY.
However, the years had taken their toll on Barbara’s house. It wasn’t abuse or neglected, but time marched on and houses like hers naturally just kind of wear out just from sitting there. Paint starts to fade, carpets get dusty, etc. The roof will wear out just from the weather and Father Time. After a period of time, home doesn’t look like home anymore.
Once Barbara was ready to sell, she didn’t want to fool around with an agent. Not that there is anything wrong at all with selling with an agent, but what Barbara REALLY wanted was a BUYER, not an agent. As it turned out, she’d known about Marie and me and called me up. We talked on the phone for a little while. It sounded like we were generally in agreement about what the house was worth, so I came out to take a look at it.

The house had various things wrong with it due to the passage of time. It was not in the kind of shape that a regular buyer who wanted to move in would want it, but that was fine with me. I knew that it would cost some money to fix the place up. Barbara knew it, too, but wasn’t too keen on spending that money. She just wanted that house GONE.
After I looked at the house, she and I (and her son) just talked out in the yard for a few minutes and reached an agreement. After that we wrote it down on one page of paper and each got a copy so we all understood what we agreed too. We arranged for a sale the next week. As it turned out, Barbara’s son had something going on at work the day of the closing, so we moved the date to suit Barbara and her son’s needs. Sell Your House Without an Agent in Louisville KY.
We met at a real estate attorney’s office and had a closing that lasted maybe 30 minutes or so and she left with a check, and without a burdensome house.
