Every homeowner has a unique story — different challenges, different goals, and different timelines. But one thing many DFW homeowners have in common is the desire for a simple, fair, stress-free way to sell their home.
That’s where a local investor like One More Property comes in to show you how local homeowners benefit from selling to investors, like us!
In this post, we’re sharing realistic, story-based examples of homeowners who chose to work with a local investor and walked away with relief, freedom, and confidence in their decision.
⭐ Story #1: “We Inherited a Home We Didn’t Know What to Do With”
Situation:
A brother and sister inherited their late parents’ home in Fort Worth. The house needed major updates — old flooring, outdated bathrooms, electrical issues — and neither sibling lived nearby.
Traditional Selling Would Have Meant:
- Paying for repairs
- Cleaning and clearing out decades of belongings
- Traveling back and forth
- Listing and waiting months for a buyer
What Happened Instead:
They contacted One More Property for a no-obligation offer.
We:
- Viewed the home as-is
- Made a fair cash offer based on its current condition
- Allowed them to leave behind anything they didn’t want to move
- Closed in less than two weeks
Outcome:
They split the proceeds, saved months of work, and avoided overwhelming repair costs.
They told us the process felt “surprisingly easy and respectful.”
⭐ Story #2: “The House Needed Too Many Repairs, and We Didn’t Have the Time”
Situation:
A homeowner in Arlington needed to relocate quickly for a new job. The problem?
The house needed foundation repairs and a new roof — two things that would have made a traditional buyer walk away.
Traditional Selling Would Have Meant:
- Spending tens of thousands on repairs
- Delaying the relocation
- Praying a buyer wouldn’t back out after inspection
What Happened Instead:
We offered a fast, as-is solution.
We:
- Took the home exactly as-is
- Handled all repairs after closing
- Closed in 9 days — right in time for the job relocation
Outcome:
They moved without stress and used the cash sale to secure a rental in their new city.
They said selling to an investor was “the only way we could move on time.”
⭐ Story #3: “Our Tenants Stopped Paying — We Needed Out Fast”
Situation:
A couple owned a rental property in Mesquite where the tenants had stopped paying rent. Evictions in Texas can take weeks or months, and the couple didn’t have the time or money to manage it.
Traditional Selling Would Have Meant:
- Waiting for the eviction process
- Paying a lawyer
- Fixing the property once it became vacant
- Listing with uncertainty
What Happened Instead:
We purchased the home with the tenants still inside, taking on the responsibility of the eviction process ourselves.
We:
- Made a fair cash offer
- Closed in 7 days
- Saved them the stress and cost of dealing with the situation
Outcome:
They got immediate financial relief and walked away from a stressful rental nightmare.
They said, “We didn’t think anyone would buy it with tenants still inside — but One More Property made it happen.”
⭐ Story #4: “We Were Going Through a Divorce and Needed a Neutral, Fast Solution”
Situation:
A couple in Plano decided to part ways and needed to sell their home quickly — but didn’t want a drawn-out listing process or disagreements over repairs.
Traditional Selling Would Have Meant:
- Choosing a real estate agent together
- Waiting for showings
- Arguing over repairs and upgrades
- Waiting on buyers
What Happened Instead:
A cash sale offered neutrality and convenience.
We:
- Gave them a fair offer within 24 hours
- Allowed them to choose their exact closing date
- Managed all paperwork with clear communication to both sides
- Helped them separate the proceeds cleanly
Outcome:
They avoided months of emotional and financial strain.
They told us the simple process “helped us move forward peacefully.”
⭐ Story #5: “Foreclosure Was Coming Fast — We Needed a Lifeline”
Situation:
A homeowner in South Dallas had fallen behind on mortgage payments after a job loss. The foreclosure sale date was approaching quickly.
Traditional Selling Would Have Meant:
- Not enough time
- No guarantee of a buyer
- Foreclosure hitting their credit for 7 years
What Happened Instead:
We acted fast.
We:
- Contacted the lender
- Paid off the mortgage balance
- Closed before the foreclosure date
- Gave the homeowner additional cash at closing
Outcome:
They avoided foreclosure and protected their credit.
They said the sale was “a second chance to rebuild.”
That’s how local homeowners benefit from selling to investors.
