There was no inspection, appraisal or repair requirements
I first became aware of cash home buyers when I moved to Jacksonville, Florida. I didn’t pay much attention to the advertisements. At the time, I was more interested in buying a home than selling. My investment into property turned into a bit of a nightmare. Although I took the precaution of demanding a home inspection, there were quite a few problems that were never revealed until after I’d moved in. I bought the home during the dry season. I was delighted to find a residence in Florida with a basement. The house was also located on a small tributary of the St. John’s River, giving me access to water. The creek was not deep enough to launch a boat, but I could take out my kayak, paddleboard and enjoy fishing. When the rainy season started, my basement filled with water. Anything I had stored down there was wrecked. There were issues with musty smells, mold growth and pests. I hired a company to install a sump pump system. It didn’t solve the problem. I eventually installed a French drain as a DIY project. I invested a great deal of money into drying out the basement. Nothing worked. I then tried to sell the home and found it impossible because of the water concerns. I finally contacted a company called Obi Buys. This family-owned and local Jacksonville real estate agency proves cash offers for homes in all conditions. They have purchased nearly 2000 properties in the area and have been around for more than two decades. There were no fees, realtor commissions or closing costs. There was no inspection, appraisal or repair requirements. The whole process was quick, simple and rewarding. I found a contact form online, filled it out in under an hour and received an offer in less than a day.
