When Gord reached out to DCI Properties about selling his family home on Cecil Street in Sarnia, he was in the middle of a complicated and emotional process. His father had recently passed away, and the property had been left to him through the estate.
Like many people handling a loved one’s estate, Gord was discovering just how many legal and logistical details there were to manage. He hadn’t realized that the property title was still in his mother’s name (she had passed away years earlier), and the title had never been transferred to his father. That meant the property had to go through probate before it could legally be sold.
Gord was working full-time as an engineer and living outside of Sarnia, so the idea of managing the property, coordinating lawyers, and handling showings and clean-up from afar was overwhelming. The home itself needed work: the flooring had asbestos underneath, the shed in the back was falling apart, and much of the house – including the plumbing and basement – was dated and unfinished.
Having worked with many estate sellers before, our team at DCI was able to help guide Gord through the process. We stayed in touch with him and his lawyers throughout the probate stage, ensuring that all the necessary paperwork was in order so the sale could proceed smoothly once everything cleared.
When the time came, we made Gord a fair, as-is offer that allowed him to sell without repairs, cleaning, or multiple visits back and forth to Sarnia. We handled the details so he could focus on work and family, not the stress of managing an inherited home.
For Gord, it wasn’t just about selling a property, it was about closing a difficult chapter with support, professionalism, and understanding.
💬 Gord’s Experience in His Own Words
“Working with DCI Properties was a real pleasure. The team were very professional and accommodating, making the process of selling my estate privately very easy.
They were very patient in answering all my questions and walked me step by step through the process.
I am a very busy person and did not have time to clean or show the home. Selling as-is to DCI was a dream and worked well for all.
DCI offered me more than a fair deal for the home, and I would highly recommend DCI to anyone looking at selling their home.
I would like to thank Bertha, Courtenay, Ryan, Jason, and the rest of the team for making this a positive experience for me.”
