Although I really love the Jacksonville area, I couldn’t pass up a job offer that required me to move across the country.
The position within my company became available, and I applied for it.
I never expected to get the job. It includes a significant pay raise, more prestigious title and the opportunity for upward mobility. It’s a huge boost to my career and earnings. Unfortunately, I was given very little time to relocate. I somehow needed to sell my house, pack up my possessions and find housing in the new location. I debated on renting my house but didn’t want to deal with the hassle of long-distance management. It seemed smarter to make a complete move and leave no ties to the area. However, I didn’t have the luxury of finding a real estate agent, staging my house and arranging showings. I certainly wasn’t prepared for a home inspection and the possibility of a long list of necessary repairs. Along with the investment into a house I planned to move out of, I didn’t have time to deal with scheduling service professionals. For my situation, a cash home sale was ideal. I found a locally-owned, family-operated cash buyer with an impressive reputation for quick turnaround and satisfied clients. Contacting them was as simple as filling out an online form. Once I supplied a bit of information about the house, I received a cash offer that same day. There was no obligation to accept it. The offer was reasonable, and once I accepted, everything moved along quickly. There was no need to update, repair, remodel or even clean the house before I left. We arranged the closing in less than ten days.
