I wasn’t really good about keeping up with my home.
I work a lot and am out of the house. Cleaning and mowing the yard was a once in a blue moon thing. I also am not very handy or on top of things within the house. If there was a weird noise, I ignored it. If something didn’t work right, I just kept plugging away. So it wasn’t a real surprise when I found out way too late that I had severe termite damage. I had gotten to the point that bombing the termites wouldn’t fix the house. I needed to gut and basically start over. I wasn’t willing to do this. I didn’t even really like my house either. I had considered moving quite a bit. Living in Portland, Oregon is great, but I am not a city gal. I wanted to move further away from the city but not too far from work. So I ended up looking into selling my Portland termite home. Selling with a real estate agent proved not to work at all. So I found that I could sell my termite home for cash quite fast. A cash home buyer is so much quicker and simpler. They give you a price, you haggle a bit and the sign papers. I was really excited to get this lemon of a house off my hands. The longer I had it, the worse the damage would get. The lower the price I would get for my house too. So I was more than ready to sign on the dotted line and get a cash offer for my termite damaged home in Portland, OR.
