If you’re interested in selling your Jacksonville property to a professional home buyer such as ourselves, you’ve probably wondered what exactly happens to your home once we acquire it. We know that over time, owners become very attached to their homes – even when they decide to leave it for whatever reason – and almost every homeowner we’ve dealt with in our career wants to know, ‘what’s next for my home?’ This is probably our most frequently asked question at Evergreen Home Buyers, so we’ve decided to dive right into 3 things that could happen to your Jacksonville home once we buy it to give you some peace of mind regarding the next stage of your home’s life.

1. Make Any Necessary Upgrades
The very first step once we’ve acquired a new property is to do a complete inspection and identify any areas that could use some work. The amount of work will vary depending on the situation; for example, we’ve had some properties that just needed a deep clean and some that needed a complete top to bottom remodel. While some homes just need a quick coat of paint and new staging to be ready to go, others require getting our hands dirty with things like fixing faulty foundations, ripping out countertops, replacing flooring, and more. Thankfully we have an amazing contractor with a team of experienced professionals ready to handle any remodel we throw at them. So, no matter what’s required for your specific property, we will make any necessary upgrades to prepare the home for what’s next.

2. Rent It Out
Once a property is upgraded and ready to go, one thing that could happen is we may rent it out. Sometimes, we rent these properties to long-term tenants who sign a lease and move into the upgraded property. We like to do this for apartments, condos, or smaller homes, although it still varies on a case-to-case basis. At Evergreen Home Buyers, we also have certain properties that we’ve converted into short-term rentals and posted on hosting sites such as Airbnb or VRBO. But how do we decide which homes we’re going to convert into short-term rentals? Well, there’s no specific formula, but if a home has a great layout and exceptional location, it’s definitely something we consider when deciding what to do with it.

3. Sell to New Homeowners
Last but certainly not least, once we’ve completed any necessary remodels, we may work with a local realtor to sell the property to new homeowners. If we’re being honest, the majority of our business involves flipping these homes and then selling them; however, as we’ve shown here, that’s not the only real estate route we explore. But we will say that there’s something so gratifying about knowing what a home looked like before we stepped in, going through the remodeling process, and ultimately getting to hand the keys to the front door to excited new homeowners. Each unique home has a story to tell, and we’re so proud to be able to help turn the page to a new chapter for these properties.
