Until I moved to Jacksonville, FL, I had never encountered a termite.
I didn’t know what they looked like. I had no idea how invasive they could be or the extent of the disfigurement they can cause. I’ve since learned that a queen termite lays about one hundred eggs per day in her first year of life… Once reaching maturity, she can lay thousands of eggs each day. Over the course of about five months, a colony of termites can devour one foot of a 2×4. I failed to notice the signs of termite infestation until it was too late. Because they were allowed to flourish, that caused major disfigurement to my home, destroying wooden support beams as well as flooring. They created discoloration, complications with sheetrock as well as chewed away at window as well as door frames. The house was nearly beyond repair, however when I called a professional, I was shocked by how much it costs just to get rid of the termites. After that, I was still looking at hiring a contractor to basically rebuild the house. I very couldn’t afford to keep the house. I wasn’t sure how to go about selling it. There was no chance of the residence passing an inspection or qualifying for a bank mortgage. I doubted I’d find a customer who could cover the cost without bank lending as well as was willing to take on a house in rapidly deteriorating condition. I simply wanted to walk away from the house with the least amount of hassle. A friend of mine recommended a money sale. I contacted a local Jacksonville money condo customer by way of an online contact form. There was no cost or obligation as well as I received a money offer that same day. I felt it was adequate as well as accepted, however from there, the stages were completed very rapidly. I closed on the house in under two weeks.
