When Cindy inherited a triplex on William Street in Exeter from her late cousin, she didn’t realize what she was walking into. Her cousin had struggled with mental health issues, and Cindy hadn’t been inside the property in years.
When she finally did, she discovered an overwhelming situation: mould, water damage, smoke staining, and asbestos. There was also a lot of stuff in the home, and she was upset to see that her cousin had been hoarding belongings over the years. It was difficult for Cindy to process the condition of the home. It wasn’t just in disrepair; it was on the verge of being a complete teardown.
To make matters worse, the property taxes were coming due, and she was running out of time to decide what to do. The emotional weight of seeing a family member’s home in that condition was hard enough, taking on the cleanup and repairs was unthinkable. Cindy just wanted it gone so she could move on and focus on her own life again.
When she reached out to DCI Properties, she explained her situation and her desire for a quick, no-hassle sale. Our team visited the property, understood the extent of the damage, and made her a fast, fair cash offer with a quick closing date. She was able to take what mattered most – her memories – and leave everything else behind.
For Cindy, that meant freedom from a painful responsibility and peace of mind knowing the property was in good hands. For our team, it became one of the most extensive renovations we’ve ever taken on, but seeing Cindy’s relief made it worth every bit of effort.
💬 Cindy’s Experience in Her Own Words
“I recently inherited a triplex that was owned by a hoarder.
DCI Properties rescued me. They bought the property with a quick closing date.
I took my memories from the building and they dealt with the rest.
I can’t thank them enough.”
