Project Overview

Offer Timeline: 7 days
A local real estate agent reached out to us on behalf of a close friend going through a difficult divorce. The court had ordered the home to be sold—and fast. The property needed to be under contract within days. Knowing the condition of the home and the emotional situation involved, the agent didn’t want to list it traditionally. She had worked with us before and knew we could act quickly. She gave us a call.The Property When we visited 7617 Temple Acres Dr, it was clear the home had seen better days. The master bathroom floor had completely rotted out, leaking into the garage below. Trash and debris filled the interior and yard. The house needed major work—but we saw the potential and moved fast.
