When my partner and I obtained our home, my pal and I were glad by the river access.
- The view of the St… Johns river from our back patio was just gorgeous.
Having relocated to Jacksonville, FL, from the northeast, my pal and I were particularly happy to trade the gray skies, snow and cold for daylight and palm trees. The house was definitely on the verge of what my pal and I could afford. Due to the housing market, my pal and I overpaid for the property. However, my partner and I were both making good money at the time and felt it was a sound investment. Two years later, a tornado came through the area. The house flooded. There were multiple feet of water standing in our kitchen, entryway, kitchen and the entire first floor. The water was dirty and ruined everything it touched, my buddy and I were also without power, which made running the a/c or even a fan impossible. The storm destroyed our floors, furniture and HVAC system. It led to considerable mold growth and a terrible musty smell. Plus, branches and other debris caused disfigurement to the roof. My buddy and I had water coming in through the ceilings and broken windows. Because of it being a natural disaster, my pal and I had difficulties with collecting insurance. At that same time, I lost my task and my partner sustained an injury. My buddy and I were faced with considerable medical bills. My buddy and I needed to get out from under the expense, aggravation and disaster of that house before it bankrupted us! Listing the house with it requiring more than 2 repairs would have severely reduced the asking price. My buddy and I particularly couldn’t afford to make the necessary repairs. Our solution was to contact a Jacksonville currency home buyer. My buddy and I found a family-owned company with a solid reputation. Once I’d submitted the online form, my pal and I acquired an offer that same day. My buddy and I closed on the house less than two weeks later.
