My sisters and I grew up next to Whitney’s mom. We had been family friends since the 1960’s. When our Mom passed in 2016, we asked Kathy if Whitney wanted to buy our Mom’s house. We had all kept up with each other on Facebook you see.
One afternoon the next week, an agent friend of my sister’s came over to discuss listing Mom’s house on the MLS. Whitney came over after he left. It had been so long since we’d seen her but she looked and talked just like her mom’s Granny.
The agent said he could sell mom’s house for $120,000 but we would have to flip it to today’s standards . Whitney offered us a grand total of $60,000, only $20,000 for each sister’s inheritance.
One of my sisters wanted a new kitchen in her own home. The other wanted to travel awhile. I wanted Mom’s House to go to someone who would love it like we had.
We didn’t want to flip it, we wanted to live our lives and remember Mom’s house the way it was when we lived there and when we visited Mom.
Whitney paid us in cash in less than a month and we were all thrilled to do business with friends that felt like family.
Mom always said she could see God every time she looked out her kitchen window. Now Whitney has that view and we’re sure Mom is an angel watching over her.
Let Whitney buy your Mom’s house too!
