When Evon L. moved from the Kansas City area for a new job, the original plan was to keep her home in Olathe because she had so many memories of raising her children there, and it was where she planned to live when retirement finally arrived. around.
To help defray some of the costs of owning two homes and to look after the house while she was away, she allowed a colleague to move in. Unfortunately, none of that happened. When the colleague finally left, the house was in terrible condition.
“I thought about refinancing, but I knew I would have to take out a lot of capital and use it for repairs,” Evon said. “[Finances were] very difficult, I only had 7 more years to pay for the house and sometimes I thought about leaving the house. For the first time, I understood how people facing foreclosure might feel, but I knew it would seriously damage my credit.”
When Evon called Jon and Stacy Bichelmeyer at Archway Homes, she found the professionalism, compassion, and understanding she needed.
Archway Homes buys homes in any condition: beautiful homes that need little or no repairs, homes that need everything fixed from leaky roofs to bad foundations, cluttered homes or homes that need cosmetic updating. They do this by providing a no-obligation offer within 24 hours, can pay cash and close within three days or on a future date of the seller’s choosing, and there are no fees or commissions to pay.
The Bichelmeyers have roots in the Kansas City community for over 40 years and Jon is a third-generation real estate investor. “I’ve been buying houses, fixing them up and selling them to homeowners in the metro area for almost 20 years,” he said. “We started doing this long before HGTV inspired new investors in town.”
Evon’s situation was even more stressful because anything she did would have to be done outside of town. Jon, she said, was very supportive of it.
“He knew I was out of town, but he let me know we could take care of everything virtually and over the phone,” she recalled. “I organized Jon’s visit by asking a family member with a key to meet him at the house. After he walked, things changed quickly from there. With the use of technology we were able to exchange information, documents and finalize the sale in a reasonably short period of time!”
With Archway Homes, sellers don’t have to do any extensive and expensive renovations to make their home attractive to today’s buyers, have the home ready to show at any time, wait for the right buyer to come along, wait even longer for it to closing or paying a real estate agent’s commission or seller’s closing costs. The ability to sell your home “as is” is critical.
According to Stacy, “Selling real estate can be a stressful process, whether someone is moving due to illness, facing foreclosure, a job transfer, has a difficult home to sell or some other reason they can’t, or I don’t want to go through a traditional sales process. Our experience has given us the ability to eliminate seller hassles by doing all the work ourselves after the contract is signed. With us, selling your home as is has never been so good!”
The Bichelmeyers truly understand that there are people who, for a variety of reasons, need better, smarter, more compassionate options for avoiding foreclosure.
“Most options when families are in financial difficulty are predatory and feed our desperation,” said Evon. “Some of these families, like me, found themselves in this place, because life happened. What options are there for us? I am immensely grateful for Jon and Stacy’s brilliance. They are highly experienced, their offer was very fair, I am now financially stronger and, most importantly, I have peace of mind.”
