The property had belonged to the sellers' son, a successful dentist who lived there alone. After his passing, the home became incredibly difficult for the parents to revisit. The memories attached to the house made the selling process emotionally overwhelming.
They didn't want to return to the property repeatedly. They didn't want a long listing process with multiple showings to strangers.
They just wanted the situation handled with care and respect.
The opportunity came through a referral from a wholesaler who knew Leverage Homes could execute reliably. After receiving the lead, Joey Szal met with the parents in person.
"It was a pretty emotional meeting. They told me about their son, and we just connected. They wanted to know the home would go to someone who would handle everything."
That trust became the foundation for the deal. Leverage Homes agreed to purchase the property at a fair price while giving the sellers something just as important: complete peace of mind.
Even after going under contract, the property presented several complications. For a traditional buyer, these would have been reasons to cancel the deal. For Leverage Homes, it was just part of the process.
During heavy snow, a leak developed from the balcony, damaging the subflooring and causing the second floor to sag.
We absorbed the issue. Because we planned to renovate, we adjusted our strategy internally and kept the closing timeline perfectly intact for the sellers.
A tank sweep during due diligence revealed an undisclosed underground oil tank on the property.
Instead of delaying the closing for remediation, we structured the paperwork so the deal could close on time, letting the sellers move on without waiting.
The parents lived an hour and a half away and preferred not to make the difficult drive back to the house.
Joey personally drove to meet them multiple times to review paperwork and exchange keys. We brought the closing process directly to their living room.
They avoided the painful process of revisiting the home repeatedly or dealing with traditional retail buyers backing out.
No stress over major repairs or stressful inspections. Leverage Homes took on the burden entirely.
