The Full Story

When Sarah's mother passed away after a long illness, she inherited the family home in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood. The problem? Sarah lived in Texas with her own family and hadn't been back to Massachusetts in years.

The house, where her mother had lived for 40 years, was filled with furniture, clothing, photos, and decades of accumulated belongings. The roof needed replacement, the electrical system was outdated, and the foundation had cracks that scared away traditional buyers.

"I got quotes from contractors totaling over $80,000 just to get the house market-ready," Sarah recalls. "And that didn't include the months of work to clean everything out, or the $1,500 a month I was paying in property taxes, insurance, and utilities."

After three months of stress and indecision, Sarah found Prime Property Venture through a Google search. "I called expecting to get a lowball offer and a pushy sales pitch. Instead, I talked to someone who actually listened to my situation and explained my options."

We made Sarah a fair cash offer within 24 hours. More importantly, we offered to handle everything she was dreading: the complete cleanout of her mother's belongings (with her approval to keep, donate, or dispose), all necessary paperwork, and coordination with local title companies.

"They asked me which items I wanted to keep and had them shipped to me in Texas. Everything else was donated or disposed of respectfully. I didn't have to make a single trip back to Boston."

The closing happened 21 days after our first conversation. Sarah received her funds via wire transfer and finally had closure - both financially and emotionally.

"Selling my mom's house was the last thing I wanted to deal with while grieving. Prime Property Venture made it as painless as possible. I'm forever grateful."

I was drowning trying to manage my mom's house from Texas. Prime Property Venture handled everything - the cleanout, the repairs, the paperwork - all while I stayed home with my family. They turned what felt impossible into something manageable during the hardest time of my life.
