The homeowner needed to move out of state for a new job and listed the property with an agent, but the agent was unable to find a buyer. After months of trying, she couldn’t find a renter either. We contacted the homeowner, offered a solution to take over the mortgage payments, and closed in just 30 days after our inital contact.

The Challenge
Melanie Hughes purchased her Indianapolis home in 2022. In October 2024, she relocated to Seattle for a new job and grad school. Wanting to sell the property, she listed it with a real estate agent — but after months on the market, it remained unsold.
With no serious offers and rising stress from double housing payments, Melanie tried to rent the property. That also didn’t work out. Her agent stopped responding, and Melanie was left managing a vacant home from across the country — paying over $12,000 in mortgage payments while also covering her rent in Seattle.
How Did We
Help The Seller & Agent?
We contacted the homeowner in early March 2025 after the property had sat on the market for 5 months without any serious offers.
With similar homes in the neighborhood listed around $220,000 — and the homeowner’s mortgage balance at $228,000 — it was clear a traditional sale wouldn’t work.
We offered a creative solution: we’d purchase the home as-is, cover all closing costs, and take over the existing mortgage payments.
After a few conversations, the seller realized this was the only realistic path forward. Our offer allowed her to avoid bringing $30,000 to the closing table — cash she didn’t have — and walk away free of the financial burden.
We moved quickly, waived inspections, and gave her a firm commitment.
Escrow was opened with Hocker Title, and we closed just 3 weeks later.
The Results
- We paid all closing costs
- We helped the seller save $30,000+
- We moved quickly and gave seller a firm commitment.
- The sellers moved to Seattle, WA for a new job just in time.
- We were the only buyers able to solve the sellers problems.
- We bought the property subject to the existing debt staying in place
