The family handled the belongings; Steve took on the repairs

A realtor introduced a family ready to sell a largely cleared-out Sterling house. The remaining work was the repair project, which Steve took on after buying it.

After renovation

The family had already done the clearing

The Sterling property came to Steve through a realtor. The family needed to resolve the home as part of a transition involving their mother, and much of the work of removing belongings had already been done.

One remaining job to hand over

The house still needed repairs. Steve evaluated it in that condition and agreed to purchase it, leaving the family without the additional task of managing the improvements before a sale.

A relatively straightforward purchase

Steve recalls this as a fairly easy transaction. The family had completed the personal work of clearing the house; the direct purchase allowed the repair work to become the buyer’s responsibility.
