A few years ago, maybe like 5-6, my wife and I bought what we thought would be our starter fixer-upper. Definitely not a new house by any stretch, but we genuinely loved the idea of slowly renovating it and making it ours over time.
Then we had kids almost one after another. So suddenly our tiny house became way too small. What was cozy and cute now is like shrunk and we’re stepping over toys, laundry, and even each other.
About a year ago we decided it was probably time to move somewhere with a little more breathing room, so we listed the place. Honestly thought it would sell eventually if we were patient enough, but it’s been pretty much crickets the whole time.
The only serious “offer” we got was from my uncle, and let’s just say family pricing apparently means way below market value.
Recently I saw Bright Home Offer, mostly out of curiosity, and weirdly enough the number they gave us was actually a little higher than I expected. The biggest thing though is the speed and the idea of skipping months more of showings and waiting around sounds pretty appealing right now.
Has anyone here actually sold to one of these cash home buyers before? Did it go smoothly or did you end up regretting it later?
