Washington real estate agent Teresa Nelson had been talking to a pair of homeowners for years before they finally got the opportunity to do the improvements they needed to do in order to sell.
"Our seller had years of neglected maintenance in their house. We had met with them a few years ago and talked about how much it would cost for them to get it ‘real estate ready’. They just couldn't come up with the money to do it."
The home was in bad shape and needed a roof replacement and deck repairs to make it acceptable for appraisers to finance. As the homeowners didn't have the funds to pay for those big-ticket repairs out-of-pocket, they were stuck. Teresa was able to present them the program through her brokerage partner program, and because they had a lot of equity built up after years of owning their home, they were able to take quite a bit of that equity and put it to work.
"With the HouseAmp program, they were not only able to repair/replace items to make their house financeable, they were also able to pay for their belongings to be moved across the country, storage, and fixing their RV for the trip."
With the help of financing her homeowners obtained through the HouseAmp platform, they got their home fixed up and listed for $650,000. It spent only 5 days on market and sold for $725,000 after over 120 showings and 18 offers.
"They are very thankful for this program and so are we!"
