A placement agent connected me with a woman whose living situation had become unsafe. Her home was severely cluttered, infested with roaches, and her cat had been using the entire house as a litter box. On top of that, she had just finished handling her sister’s probate and now needed to sell her home quickly to afford a move to assisted living.
I first connected with her attorney to make sure everyone was on the same page, then met her at the property to understand her needs and timeline. After walking through the home, I made an offer that met her and the attorney’s expectations.
Later, during our inspection, we discovered that a costly repair to the back porch foundation wasn’t needed after all. Without her even asking, I increased our offer by $8,000 so she could walk away with more equity in her pocket.
Even when she was unexpectedly hospitalized and sent to rehab, I stepped in to help. I visited her personally, secured important heirlooms, and arranged storage for her vehicle. We closed just a few weeks later using a mobile notary to keep things convenient.
Her attorney told me he was impressed by how smooth and professional the process was—and most importantly, she was able to move forward with peace of mind.

Squatters in Top Hats — How We Saved a Family’s Inheritance from Chaos
When an out-of-state daughter inherited her late father’s home, she didn’t expect to face a full-blown crisis.
The house was already in foreclosure. Her uncle—an older man with serious health issues—had been living there, and things quickly took a turn for the worse. A group of squatters manipulated him into letting them stay on the property. What started as a few visitors turned into a nightmare: they began piling up trash and junk, stole the uncle’s phone and cash, and even started selling drugs from the home.
To make matters worse, they refused to leave—or even let the rightful heir onto the property.
That’s when I got involved.
My first priority was making sure her uncle was safe. I negotiated with the squatters just to be allowed access to him. Once I saw the situation for myself, we worked out a reasonable as-is cash offer and then I worked side-by-side with the family to file the right paperwork, start the eviction process, and coordinate with local deputies to stop the drug activity. It took persistence and care, but eventually, we cleared the property and secured it.
The house was still at risk of foreclosure, so we moved fast. Despite the chaos, we were able to close the sale just in time—preserving the family’s inheritance and turning a toxic situation into a resolution.

From Overwhelmed to Relieved
The owner had just inherited her late brother’s home here in Florida, but due to ongoing health issues, she couldn’t travel to see it in person. Her hope was to take her time sorting through the house and recovering heirlooms—but reality made that impossible.
The property had fallen into serious disrepair after her brother became ill, and over time he had become an “aggressive collector” of just about everything. On top of that, a recent hurricane knocked out the power, leaving the fridge and freezer full of spoiled food, which drew in roaches and other pests. The home needed extensive updates, and it was clear this wasn’t going to be an easy sale.
After speaking with us, she decided that an as-is cash offer would be the simplest and most profitable route. We gave her a transparent, fair offer and coordinated every step of the process, including working with her attorney to make sure everything was handled correctly.
Even though she couldn’t travel, we made sure she didn’t miss anything important—we personally sorted through the items and shipped her antique silverware, dishes, and heirlooms via UPS. She didn’t have to worry about clearing out the home or even coming to Florida.
In the end, we saved her weeks of stress, thousands in repairs, and gave her peace of mind knowing everything was handled with care.
Here’s what she had to say:
“I was extremely satisfied with the way Jonathan handled the sale of my house. He went above and beyond to make things happen. The sale was made easy for me. Thank you so much, Jonathan.”
