yeah so marriage didnt work out , no big surprise there , we tried to be civil about the asset split but that lasted maybe two weeks , she wanted to keep the house , i wanted to sell , she didnt have the money to buy me out , i didnt want to keep paying the mortgage on a place i wasnt even living in anymore , you know how it goes . talked to a realtor first cause thats what everyone tells you to do , big mistake , she said list at 210 but first we needed to spend like 15k on repairs , new paint here , fix the deck there , staging , cleaning , open houses , and she wanted 6% , plus we would have to wait maybe 3-4 months for a buyer , and what if that buyer backs out after inspection ? then we do it all over again , meanwhile we still have to see each other at closings and sign papers together , ugh no thanks

so i started looking into those we buy houses for cash companies , found one called , they re local to kentucky , not some huge corporation , called them on a tuesday , a guy named nyx picked up right away , not a call center thank god , we talked maybe 15 minutes , told him the whole situation with the divorce and the house , he said no problem we deal with this all the time , came out thursday , walked through the place , didnt even care about the cracked bathroom tile or the hole in the bedroom door from that one fight , gave us an offer friday morning

was it top dollar ? nope tbh , but heres the thing , no repairs , no cleaning , no staging , no strangers walking through our house judging our life choices lol , they covered all closing costs , no commissions , no fees , nothing , we closed in 11 days , picked the date ourselves , walked out with a check , done , never have to see that house again or argue about who gets the living room furniture cause we already sold that too

look im not saying a cash offer is for every situation , if you have a perfect house in a perfect neighborhood and you can wait six months then sure list with an agent , but if youre in the middle of a divorce and just want to split the money and move on with your life , at least call these guys for a baseline offer , even if you dont take it , youll know what your bottom line looks like

divorce is hard enough without fighting over a house that neither of you even wants anymore , just sell house , take the cash , and start over , thats what i did

they re called we buy 502 , i can dm their number if anyone needs it , not gonna post it here cause i dont wanna get banned , but yeah , best decision i made in the whole divorce process
