When David and his wife decided it was time to sell their home on Hadati Road in Guelph, they were ready for a change.
David was retired, and his wife was semi-retired, and they both felt it was the right time to downsize. They wanted something quieter, simpler, and closer to their daughter, and their soon-to-arrive grandkids in Brantford.
But the idea of listing their home and having multiple showings didn’t appeal to them. They didn’t want a parade of people walking through the property, endless cleaning, or weeks of uncertainty. They wanted a quick, low-stress sale that would let them focus on finding their next home.
The house itself needed some work. The floors and walls were showing wear, and there was a known issue with the sewage line running from the house to the road that needed repair. They were upfront about everything, and it was clear that dealing with those issues – along with the traditional sales process – was something they didn’t want to take on.
They spoke with a few agents but ultimately decided that DCI Properties was the right fit. Our rep, Brandon, visited the home, took a look at everything, and made them a fair, straightforward offer on the spot. Within 30 minutes, they had a deal they were happy with.
We also made it easy for them to leave behind items they didn’t want to take to their new home; no extra cleanup or stress. The sale closed smoothly, with only a small delay on paperwork between lawyers, but otherwise, everything went according to plan.
For David and his wife, the relief of knowing their home was sold and that they could move forward comfortably toward the next chapter in Brantford made all the difference.
💬 David’s Experience in His Own Words
“We were looking to sell our house; it needed some work — floors and walls were in need of repair.
We spoke with DCI, they came to the house, and we had a deal done within 30 minutes for a price we were very happy with.
We were even able to leave stuff in the house that we did not want to take with us.
Very easy to deal with apart from a couple of delays with getting the papers signed.
Overall, we were very satisfied with DCI.”
