Alberta is bustling in 2024, but that doesn’t mean things are easy.  Many of us are working harder than ever before, but still falling behind.  How is that possible?  And many retired folks are finding it harder and harder to stretch their pensions with today’s prices.

But Albertans are well known for persevering through tough times, right?!  Until life decides to throw a few extra curveballs our way.  For some people it’s an unexpected illness.  Others are seeing relationships fall apart and into divorce, leaving them even more alone and overwhelmed.  And others are looking to downsize an old family home—only to find an endless list of repairs, renovations and cleaning.  It’s like an old country song where the girl leaves, the truck won’t start, and even the dog dies.  Except it’s not funny at all.

When the obstacles pile up, it can seem nearly impossible.

But what if there was a way to get out from under the long hours, high stress and never-ending bills?  What if selling fast let you move on to a simpler life?  What if the endurance test finally came to an end?

Making the decision to sell a property can initially feel so good!  Letting go of the physical burdens and the emotional toll of a problem property can be completely life-changing– like getting out of jail!

But then, sharing your decision with others can be met with skepticism and doubt.  Whether it’s nosey neighbours or well-meaning family members, everyone is full of opinions these days!  And we all have different priorities.

The truth is that sometimes well-loved homes don’t sell for top dollar.  Or they take a really long time to sell.  Or they need thousands of dollars of work just to make them safe—like if your house has asbestos, or mould, or even structural issues.

Rather than giving up, some Albertans are choosing to think outside the box.  We come by it quite naturally!  Sometimes the entire country thinks we’re contrarian!

In the midst of the chaos, see if you can find a quiet minute or two.  Breathe.  Realize that you don’t have to continue fighting the uphill battle.  There are companies that buy problem properties fast.  These crazy people like doing renovations!  They love a good handyman project.  Really!  They will see opportunity where you just see more hard work.

Rather than pushing yourself to the brink, check out a professional homebuyer like https://westerncanadianhomebuyers.ca/.  They have an easy button that could enable you to get on with living!

We always insist that sellers use a good lawyer as their second pair of eyes and ears.  Does this deal make sense for you, in your situation, today?  And the lawyers will handle all of the money in their trust accounts too.  Safety for everyone in the transaction!

Closing this chapter of your life, or literally closing the door to a problem property, can be done quickly and efficiently.  And if you speak with one of our specialists and don’t like our options—no problem!  It’s just a conversation.  We’ll buy if you’re ready to sell, and we can close FAST.  Or we’ll simply move on to the next fixer upper that needs our help.

As long as you own the house, you have lots of choices.  It is possible that none of them are perfect.  But one way or another, there is a way out.  And then you can embrace your future with open arms!
