& Vacant and Need to Sell? Absentee

Owning a house you don't live in is hard enough. If it's sitting vacant, the problems pile up even faster—break-ins, vandalism, weather damage, and city code violations. If you're an absentee owner, every small issue turns into a major headache because you're not nearby to handle it.

Listing with an agent means paying to get the property ready, coordinating repairs, and then keeping up with it while it sits on the market. That's tough when you live hours away or out of state. Vacant houses also tend to show worse, need more work, and take longer to sell.

Selling directly to Carolina Home Relief makes the process easier. We buy properties as-is, even if they've been sitting empty for years. You don't have to fix anything, clean anything out, or make trips back and forth. You don't pay commissions or closing costs. Once we agree on a price, the sale is guaranteed, and closing can happen in as little as ten days.

Here's an example. Suppose your vacant house could sell for $200,000 if fully repaired. To get there, you'd likely spend around $50,000 on updates, then pay about $12,000 in commissions (6%) and another $4,000–$6,000 in closing costs. Best case, after months of work and carrying costs, you might net $132,000–$134,000.

If you sold directly to us, we might offer around $115,000. That's less than fixing it up and listing, but it avoids months of repairs, travel, and uncertainty. You can close quickly, get paid, and stop worrying about a vacant property dragging you down.
