Local company helps couple with fixer-upper property in Mt. Oliver
Does the thought of taking a broken-down property, fixing it and selling it to a family looking for their dream home excite you?
A Pittsburgh-based couple considered doing just that with a home they had purchased in Mt. Oliver. The owners, Kristina and Greg, had aspirations to renovate the older home and then list the property back on the market, with the hopes of a lucrative return.
Although fixing and flipping properties can result in a large return on investment, many people get in over their heads on the project and renovation costs.
Despite the couple’s initial efforts in renovating the interior with new carpet, updated flooring and a fresh coat of paint, they soon discovered the house required a new roof, updated gutters and electrical work throughout. Additionally, their fixer-upper also required air conditioning.
Kristina and her husband did not have the continued financial resources or time to dedicate to this project, and they needed to create a solution. They knew they would be unable to sell their property “as-is” through the traditional route, so they began to search for other options.
From a Google search, they discovered a local company, the HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh, who have successfully purchased over 800 homes for cash since 2015 in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas. Kristina and Greg reached out to HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh to see if their team could help.
HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh offered a complimentary in-home consultation and home tour, during which the HomeBuyers team identified all of the repairs that needed to be made to maximize the value of the home. The team was able to make a cash offer on the spot, and they were able to close on the Mt. Oliver property within record time.
Ryan Scialabba, owner of HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh, says, “The great thing about working with us is that we make the process of selling a home easy to understand and give people options that they didn’t know they had. We have a simple three-step process that includes a 5-to-10-minute phone call and a 30-minute property tour to assess updates/repairs needed. And then we give our cash offer — right on the spot.”
