We needed to raise money quickly and decided to sell our vacation home in Pinetop, Arizona, which had the equity we needed
Because we had to have funds within two weeks, we knew we couldn't go through the traditional real estate route, which takes months--fixing up the house, putting it on the market, and then paying a 6-7% commision when it finally sells 3-6 months later.
So, we decided to go with a "we buy homes fast for cash" company and focused on those with good reviews.
RIght away, we ran into problems finding a company that worked with rural vacation properties (like cabins and small houses such as ours).
But Reed Lattin and All Homes AZ had absolutely no qualms with our property. They have over 10 years of experience and were used to dealing with homes of all kinds throughout Arizona.
Reed was the complete professional, explaining the process thoroughly, He emphasized there were absolutely no sales commissions, fees, or costs of any kind, aside from the usual items addressed in escrow.
For example, if you owe HOA fees or past property taxes, the escrow company would make sure these fees were paid to the appropriate authorities from the money you received in the sale.
Reed was personable and laid-back. He didn't have any high pressure sales tactics that could make a customer feel uncomfortable. His escrow team at Pioneer Title Agency were also very friendly and responsive. (Thank you, Diana Olson and Debby Phillips!)
The whole procedure went much quicker than I imagined.
Reed met us in snowy weather in Pinetop just a few days after the initial phone call.
That same day, we agreed to a sales price, and the house closed just a week later, with the funds wired to our bank account on the day of the close.
What a smooth, easy process. Thank you so much, Reed! read more
