Struggling to Keep Up with Home Repairs

Why Selling to LuMar is your answer?

Sometimes our homes get so distressed and worn out from daily living. After all, life is full of its own challenges. In our homes, we have children, pets, daily wear and tear, possible weather damage or even water leaks that may have caused damage. This is all hard wear and tear on a home. Keeping a home in pristine condition takes money. It’s not just about making a monthly mortgage payment. Most people don’t have enough money in their savings to address the necessary repairs that are needed as they arise. Without regular maintenance, you start seeing sheet rock damage from roof leaks, tile falling off showers, floors buckling, paint peeling and more. All of these are things that start costing money. And, as your home ages, it also becomes outdated.

We often think our homes should be valued more when we go to sell them. Once we put them on the market to sell, we find out they are not as current or nice as we thought they were. So, we end up getting an agent who pushes for a lower selling price. Sometimes, the house doesn’t even sell because the home has not been updated and needs a lot of repair. We quickly discover that these kinds of repairs are thousands of dollars. But, if you sell it to someone who can do the rehab on their own and take away the liability, you no longer have to worry about keeping up. You can hand it over, get a good price for it and start a new chapter in your life.

Do your homework. Always check and discuss your options by questioning different sources. Make sure whatever you decide is the right choice for you.
