Why Bill Chose a Direct Sale Over a Traditional Listing


A Straightforward Sale in Fayetteville
For Bill Osteen, the thought of listing with an agent — with multiple showings, repair requests, and drawn-out negotiations — just didn't feel right. He wanted a simpler, more direct way forward.
Bill's Story
Bill explored the traditional route first, meeting with a few real estate agents. But the idea of strangers constantly walking through the home, plus the need for updates to make it market-ready, felt like too much hassle. He wanted to sell the house as it was and move on without the stress. That's when he reached out to Carolina Home Relief.

The Solution
Nathan met Bill at the property and walked him through an as-is cash offer. The house needed work and was outdated, but instead of pushing for repairs or showings, CHR offered a direct purchase that allowed Bill to avoid those headaches entirely. A few key parts of the solution stood out to Bill: The ability to sell the property as is, without cleaning or repairs; No showings or drawn-out listing process; A clear, straightforward offer with full transparency; Extra support, including notarizing paperwork in Durham to make the process even easier; A shared background of military service that helped build trust.
The Outcome
Bill chose to accept the cash offer, valuing the simplicity and honesty of the process over the uncertainty of listing the home traditionally. The closing went smoothly, and the entire experience left him feeling relieved and supported. With the property sold, Bill was able to move forward without the burden of repairs, cleanouts, or showings.

"Working with Nathan was a pleasure. He made the home sale an easy process by going above and beyond to make it happen. He drove from Fayetteville to Durham to obtain needed signatures on legal documents and to have them notarized. The closing occurred on the promised date, and we were able to walk away without having to clean out the house. If you want to work with an honest, pleasant home buyer, choose Carolina Home Relief."
