Selling a termite-infested home

Until I moved to Colorado Springs, I didn’t realize that termites were a concern.

I assumed that pests couldn’t survive the freezing cold winter temperatures.

However, I’ve since learned that termites can thrive and remain active year-round due to heated conditions. By maintaining a comfortable living environment, I made it possible for the termites to destroy my home. Termites are actually quite common in Colorado Springs, causing significant damage to structures. They attacked the support framework of my home as well as the frames of windows and doors. With no experience, I failed to notice the warning signs. By the time an HVAC contractor mentioned that he’d seen indications of live termites, I had no idea. I called in a pest control company and discovered that the termite situation was out of control. Along with the significant cost to get rid of the pests, I was facing a huge expense to repair my home. There were real concerns over the roof, ceilings, walls and stairways collapsing. I couldn’t afford to solve the problems and was worried that the property would be impossible to sell. I certainly couldn’t list with a real estate agent. My home would never pass an inspection or qualify a potential buyer for a bank mortgage. I started searching for an alternate solution and came across an advertisement for a local cash home buyer. The process was surprisingly simple. I supplied some information via an online form and received a cash offer within a single day. The cash home buyer takes on properties in Colorado Springs in any condition. The termites weren’t an obstacle. I wasn’t expected to make repairs or eliminate the pests.
