The goal was simple; sell this home quickly and use the proceeds to help with the renovations on their new place.

The couple had moved into the property in August of 1985, meaning it had been their home for nearly 40 years. Over that time the house naturally accumulated memories, belongings, and the wear that comes with a home that’s been lived in for many years.
