Client Situation

This was their first home, they lived in the Westbury neighborhood for 15 years. They had rented the home after moving away to Conroe, TX. After the tenants had moved out, they left the property infested, debris inside and out, sheetrock was destroyed and all hvac and plumbing systems were non functional. They found out the house had 4 families living in it for 8 years. They decided to tear down the home to the studs and remodel it entirely, no longer lease it and sell it immediately.

Challenges

The home was going to need a lot of work, demo, and a full remodel. Time and patience was going to be crucial to this process.

Strategy

  • Husband was a retired marine, had many friends willing to help prepare the house within 3 months
  • Priced fairly at market value near Meyerland and the Medical Center; strong familiarity with the area including local schools and subdivision

Outcome

Received 3 offers, buyer waived option period, performed inspections at their due diligence, and we provided all receipts and work that was completed in the home.
