Metro Detroit's Most Trusted Cash House Buyers Since 2016
My son was the legal owner but I was handling everything. I’m moving to Ghana, my son’s in college out of state, and I needed the proceeds for his tuition. I didn’t want to manage this from across an ocean.
– Lawanda
Lawanda’s son was the legal owner of the rental property, but Lawanda was the one handling the sale. She was relocating to Ghana. Her son was in college out of state. Neither of them was going to be in a position to manage tenants, repairs, or property issues going forward, and she needed the proceeds to pay for her son’s college tuition. The property had a good tenant who’d verbally talked about buying it for about eight months but kept asking for more time. A realtor had told her she might list it around $128,000. She wanted at least $70,000 from an investor and could probably do $65,000 if pushed.
The team structured the close to fit the overseas move.
Eight months of ‘next month’ wasn’t going to keep delaying the move.
The cash close meant her son’s tuition was funded without a financing fall-through.
From a Metro Detroit rental to a Ghana relocation, with tuition funded along the way
Listing meant a longer timeline, contingencies, and a buyer’s inspection list, all while Lawanda packed for Ghana. The tenant’s vague purchase plans had already burned eight months. The realtor’s $128,000 number depended on a retail buyer’s timeline and outcome that the family couldn’t control from another continent.
Chris met Lawanda at her real constraint: she needed certainty and she needed cash, not the highest theoretical price. The conversation acknowledged the tenant, the timing, and the international move.
The contract came together within a day of the conversation. The team coordinated with Lawanda as the decision-maker even though her son was on title. No repairs requested.
The deal closed. Lawanda’s son’s tuition was funded. She left for Ghana without a U.S. rental property hanging over her, no contractors to manage from abroad, no tenant emails to answer at 3 a.m. her time.
