Ernest cold-called Stephen M. It did not become a sale that week. It became a relationship of about a year and a half, until Stephen was ready.
His wife had died years earlier. After that, the house fell apart. Black mold set in. Stephen is a carpenter. The home was paid off. He had raised his family there, and the memories of his business were in that house. He was reluctant to sell it.
Someone who claimed to need help scammed him out of about $80,000. He had been on a fixed income, and then he had to go back to work. The house was paid off, so property taxes were the only carrying cost, and he was behind about three years, going on four.
He moved forward on his terms, before a tax auction left him with scraps. Saving KC Homebuyers closed in 28 days. He was not asked to repair the house first. The back taxes were handled in the sale. The price is not stated publicly, and the public record of this sale does not call out fees. He later told the story on camera and in a Google review.
They actually listened. It felt like Ernest cared more about the situation than just the house.
