Be Careful Who You Trust in Real Estate

A Real Story from #YourLocal Hays County Realtor

In real estate, not every situation is straightforward. Sometimes people find themselves in tough spots and need help fast.

A few months ago, I got a call from a woman I had never met. You could hear the stress in her voice right away. She was going through a divorce and had fallen several months behind on her mortgage. On top of that, she was up against a very real deadline.

She had been working with Opendoor and was initially told she would walk away from the sale with about $5,000. But the day before closing, everything changed. The final statement showed that she would actually need to bring $17,000 to the table just to sell her home.

She made the decision to walk away and reached out to The Alexander Home Team.

We got to work immediately. There were no guarantees and no big promises, just a commitment to do everything we could to help. Within days of foreclosure, we were able to get the home sold. When the dust settled, she was able to walk away with over $3,000, plus her escrow, which put her right back around what she had originally hoped for.

Situations like this are more common than people think, especially in today’s market. Whether you are in Kyle, Buda, or anywhere in Hays County, who you choose to work with matters.

If you ever find yourself needing real estate guidance, our goal is simple. We will give you honest advice, even if it is not what you want to hear.
