Moving to Florida without rebuilding the basement first

The couple wanted an easier pace of life in Florida. Steve bought their Stafford home with an unfinished, previously water-damaged basement and worked with their moving plans.

Moss home exterior in Stafford, after renovation

After renovation

Their focus had shifted to the move

The owners were ready for a different pace of life in Florida. The upper level of their split-foyer home was in good condition, but the basement still needed to be put back together after water damage. They did not want that work to delay the transition.

Buying with the work unfinished

The owners had already addressed a prior mold issue and removed basement drywall. Steve’s account says there was no mold present when he took on the project. He evaluated the remaining work and purchased the home without requiring the basement to be finished first.

A plan for timing and belongings

The couple wanted to coordinate their departure and leave some items behind. The sale was arranged around those practical needs so they could focus on the move instead of another renovation project.
