A couple preparing to move reached out to Liberty Fair Offer after an overflowing kitchen sink left water damage inside their home.
They wanted to sell without waiting for kitchen repairs or letting the damage push back their move.
We gave the couple a way to sell the house as is for cash without paying for costly kitchen repairs first.
The couple sold without repairing the kitchen first, closed faster than expected, and continued with their move.
The Sellers’ Situation
The couple was already packing for their move when the kitchen sink overflowed.
Water spread across the floor and reached the lower cabinets, baseboards, and nearby walls.
What began as a plumbing issue soon left several parts of the kitchen in need of repair.Fixing the kitchen would have meant finding contractors, arranging visits, paying for materials, and waiting for the work to finish.
The couple did not have time to take all of that on while preparing to leave.
They needed a way to sell the house as it was without pausing their move to repair the kitchen first.
Hear directly from the seller:
Why Repairing Before Selling Was Not the Right Choice
Fixing the kitchen before selling would have added more work to a move that was already underway. The couple would have faced:
- Water removal and drying
- Plumbing repairs
- Cabinet, flooring, and drywall replacement
- Contractor scheduling
- Repair bills that could rise once the work began
- A longer wait before putting the house up for sale
- The risk of pushing back their planned move
The final repair cost was also difficult to predict because more water damage could have been found once the cabinets, flooring, or drywall were removed.
The couple did not want to spend more time and money repairing a house they were preparing to leave.
How Liberty Fair Offer Helped the Couple Sell and Move
1. We Looked at the House in Its Current Condition
When the couple reached out, the kitchen damage was still present.
We looked at the house as it was and asked when they planned to leave.
This helped us see what the sale needed to do: remove the repair burden, give them a set closing date, and let them continue with their move.
2. We Made a Cash Offer Based on the House As It Was
The cash offer reflected the kitchen damage and the work that would be needed after the sale.
The couple knew how much they could receive without paying for repairs first.
They could then compare the cost and time of fixing the kitchen with the choice to sell right away.
3. They Sold the House As Is
Selling as is meant the couple did not have to deal with:
- A kitchen renovation
- Contractor appointments
- Repair work before closing
- Preparing the damaged kitchen for buyer showings
They could pack their belongings and focus on leaving rather than fixing a house they were ready to sell.
4. We Set the Closing Around Their Move
The couple needed enough time to pack, load their belongings, and leave the property.
We set the closing date around those plans.
They did not have to rush out too early or stay longer while the kitchen was repaired.
5. The Sale Closed Faster Than They Expected
The couple thought selling the house would be difficult. Instead, the sale closed quickly, and they continued with their move without waiting for the kitchen repairs.
After closing, one of the sellers shared how they felt to work with us::
“It was good. It was really quick. I thought it was going to be difficult to get out of here, but you guys found a way.”
They sold the house in its current condition and moved on without a long wait.
The Final Result
A couple was preparing to move when kitchen water damage gave them another issue to handle.
By selling the house as is for cash, the couple avoided costly kitchen repairs and continued with their planned move.
Your house may have damage from an overflowing sink, leaking pipe, dishwasher, or broken supply line.
