The Problem
Years ago, Bob Horner purchased his single-family home at 150 Lee Etta Drive in Gallatin, Tennessee. He and his loved ones recently decided it was time to sell the house and retire despite living in this residence for years with his family.
The original plan was for Bob and his wife to sell their Gallatin residence, pack up, and move to Biloxi, MS, where they could enjoy their retirement in better weather. However, Bob was hesitant to use a realtor because he disliked real estate showings and the time it could take to sell his Gallatin home. Also, he knew his property needed repairs, making it harder to sell.
How My Tennessee Home Solution Helped the Horner Family Resolve Their Problem
The My Tennessee Home Solution team bought the Horner home outright. We arranged an in-person meeting after talking to Bob and his wife via telephone. At the end of the consultation, we had made a fair cash offer with favorable terms, leaving Bob and his wife happy with the transaction.
Exceeding Expectations To Reach Goals Quickly
Besides buying Bob’s house as-is, our team made the Horner family’s transition to Biloxi easier. We helped speed the process by providing a dumpster to offload unwanted items when it was time to move.
Why Sell Your Home During Retirement?
Not everybody knows what to do when retired. Retirees should seek guidance from a financial advisor when planning their retirement. Still, selling a home is a great retirement option for multiple reasons, including:
• Eliminating mortgage: Selling your house in retirement frees you of hefty mortgage and property tax payments.
• Getting tax breaks: Homeowners can exclude between $250,000 and $500,000 of capital gains if they sell their home.
• Downsizing: Retiring in a smaller residence is less expensive and less work than maintaining a large house.
