They were absolutely professional, know-howable and reassuring
Moving to Jacksonville, Florida, from the northern section of the country, I was not official with termites or the disfigurement they can cause. Although I insisted on a thorough property inspection, I think the property I bought was already infested with termites. I had no clue until they had chewed away at the window frames, door frames and overall structure of the house. By the time I had a professional assess the disfigurement, I was looking at a major investment. I not only needed to pay for expansive repairs but also the extermination of the termites, but getting rid of termites is extremely difficult. They are absolutely resilient and can live in the walls for years without detection. They reproduce absolutely abruptly and the queen termite often lays thousands of eggs every afternoon. Extermination requires specialized tools and techniques, including tenting the house. The cost added up to more than I was willing to spend. I was also reluctant to vacate the premises for several afternoons and live with the mess of construction. It seemed far less stressful to simply sell the property. However, selling a property infested with termites meant contacting a cash buyer. I absolutely couldn’t list the property with the realtor. A potential customer would never get the bank to agree to a mortgage. The property wouldn’t pass inspection or qualify for insurance. I was amazed that the cash customer was willing to give a honest offer. I learned that cash property shoppers will take on houses in any condition. The process of selling was quick and self-explanatory. I filled out an online contact form and acquired an offer within a few hours. I chose a cash property customer that is based in Jacksonville and family-owned. They were absolutely professional, know-howable and reassuring. We closed on the property ten afternoons later.
