Right after college, my boyfriend and I moved to Phoenix, Arizona.
- We were excited by the growing job market, beautiful weather and gorgeous landscape.
The area is very unique and completely different from where we grew up and went to school. We both secured jobs in our chosen fields and started making really good money. Everything was going well with our personal and professional lives. We made the mistake of buying a house together. Suddenly, we had a lot of responsibilities and expenses. My boyfriend didn’t want to spend the money to hire professionals to replace the water heater, patch the roof, fix leaky plumbing or maintain the air conditioner. He insisted that we do these projects ourselves. We didn’t even own any of the necessary tools, and neither of us is handy. We had no experience with taking care of a home. As more things went wrong with the home, we began to disagree about how to handle them. We began arguing over money and the division of household tasks. Eventually, the relationship fell apart. We decided it best to sell the house, split the money and head our separate ways. Unfortunately, our attempts at fixing everything from the cooling system to the plumbing had created a mess. Neither of us wanted to invest into repairs or updates. Because the house would never pass an inspection or meet the requirements of a bank loan, selling it by way of a conventional listing was out of the question. For us, the ideal solution was a cash home buyer. We found a local, Phoenix cash home buyer with a dependable reputation and positive customer reviews. After filling out an online contact form, we received a cash offer right away. The closing happened within two weeks.
