MyHouseIntoCash helped a couple to transition to a higher quality of life through downsizing their home.

Max and Maggie Shipper desired to live more simply and cherish their time together in the summer of 2018. This included taking part in outdoor activities, watching their grandchildren grow, and contributing to their community. To make this a reality, they had to sell their house in Jacksonville, which was a tiring process that Max had gone through before. He explained that the main goal was to “sit back and appreciate what we’ve got. Enjoy the grandkids. Love every day.”

Max found the process of selling his four homes to be tedious and frustrating due to the constant back and forth negotiations and nitpicking of potential buyers. He was thus interested in MyHouseIntoCash as an alternative. Aside from his demanding job, Max enjoys being in nature and going on trips with friends. Recently, he went on a motorcycle tour with a friend who let him take breaks to take pictures.

Max is now working as a Delivery Driver, something that brings him immense joy. Every day he sets out to deliver supplies to many places around Jacksonville, happily singing along to the music playing in the van. He’s been living in the Jacksonville area for a long time, and in 1998, he built his own home which he filled with his own personal selections. After he and his wife, Maggie, got married, she added her own decorative touches to the house. Max is truly content with his job and living situation.

Max gives his wife credit for the suggestion of selling their home through MyHouseIntoCash. When the time came to list it, they began to explore options with local real estate agents. His wife then proposed that they try MyHouseIntoCash, which Max was uncertain about. She encouraged him to take a chance and see what happened, since they’d have the option to back out before closing if they changed their mind. In the end, they decided to take her advice and give MyHouseIntoCash a try.

Maggie spoke with James, a Home Advisor, to inform him of the house’s improvements and amenities. After conducting a market evaluation, MyHouseIntoCash presented a satisfactory offer to the Shippers with no complications or surprises.

Max was dubious as he went through the process of purchasing the home, expecting a hidden cost. Nevertheless, he was delighted when the assessment report came back with more than he had expected. The outcome was definitive, and he knew they were on their way to closing the sale.

About a week later, Max realized there was a problem. His wife had gone through foot surgery, so she was in a boot and could barely move. He worried that the closing would be delayed if his wife couldn’t attend to sign the papers.

Max was expecting a problem during the home sale, but it ended up going smoothly. The paperwork was emailed and the closing moved forward on time. Max and his wife were relieved when the sale was completed and the money was in their account shortly after. This process was a pleasant surprise compared to previous sales, and his wife knew she had won.

“This experience has been absolutely wonderful, from the start to the finish. Anytime an issue has presented itself, they have always had a solution.”

The Shippers are now settled in a new, more manageable residence and are excited to make the most of their retirement years. They plan to travel, spend more time with their grandchildren, and help the elderly in their area. Most of all, they are simply content to have their house sale behind them and to pause and appreciate the little things in life.
