Why Had the House Gotten Away From Her?

The house on 4th and Main in Conway, South Carolina had become too much for her. Bugs had moved in. Repairs had piled up over years. And the woman who had lived there was now facing a transition that changed the entire picture — she needed to move into memory care.

Her caregiver was involved. Some of her family was, too. What she needed most was money, and she needed it without spending months preparing a house for showings it was not ready for. That is when she received a direct mail piece from Dynamic Home Buyers.

Why Was Listing With an Agent Not an Option?

A traditional real estate listing in South Carolina typically takes two to three months from the day you sign with an agent to the day you close — not including the weeks of preparation required to get a home market-ready. According to Redfin’s South Carolina housing market data, homes in the state routinely spend nearly two months on the market before going under contract.

And this was a home that was in disrepair. A pre-listing inspection would have produced a long list of repairs, and a buyer’s lender would almost certainly have required much of that work to be completed before approving a mortgage. Carrying costs, repair costs, and agent commissions would have eaten into whatever equity remained.

For an elderly seller coordinating a move to a care facility, a long listing process was simply not an option. Every week a home sits on the market means another week of utility bills, property taxes, and insurance. This seller needed her proceeds quickly; she could not manage a renovation project, and she did not want strangers walking through her home for weeks.

Families managing a move to memory care often feel this time pressure acutely. The Alzheimer’s Association guide to choosing care settings outlines how quickly these decisions can arrive, which is part of why a predictable sale timeline mattered so much here.

How Did Dynamic Home Buyers Respond?

Chris Kissick of Dynamic Home Buyers reached out the same day the seller responded to the mailer. He did not show up with a single offer and ask her to take it or leave it. He walked her through several ways the company could help — and told her up front that if a traditional listing made more sense for her situation, he could point her to a reliable realtor.

The caregiver, who had been managing much of the seller’s daily affairs, was part of those conversations. What the seller and her caregiver responded to was the clarity. Chris explained exactly how a cash purchase works, what the timeline would look like, and what the closing process would involve. There were no obscure fees and no pressure to make a decision. 

By the time those conversations were done, they were comfortable moving forward. You can see more about how the team works on the How We Buy Houses page.

What Did the Solution Look Like?

Dynamic Home Buyers purchased the home as-is. The seller did not need to clean it, repair it, or pay any commissions or fees out of her proceeds. The team coordinated the timeline around the seller’s move rather than the other way around. 

In practice, that coordination meant scheduling around the seller’s availability, giving her and her caregiver the space to manage belongings that had accumulated over years, and not treating the property’s condition as a variable that could threaten the deal. 

That is what an as-is purchase means. The caregiver stayed involved throughout the process, helping with communication and ensuring the seller understood each step before it occurred. In the end, the home sold for $205,000 and the buyer plans to renovate and resell the property.

How Did the Deal Close, and What Came After?

The deal closed on January 8, 2026. From start to finish it took just 45 days. Near the end of the process, there was a brief family situation. The seller handled it herself. She told her siblings directly what she was doing and why, and she did not need anyone to intervene on her behalf.

The caregiver had gone into the process with real concerns about how it would go — particularly whether the deal would hold. It held. The seller received her proceeds, covered the move-in costs for her new facility, and left the house without financial stress hanging over her.

She is out of the property she had been struggling to maintain and is now getting the support she needs. The team still keeps in touch with her and her caregiver, and by every account, she is happy with how it went.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my house if it is in very poor condition?

Yes. Dynamic Home Buyers purchases homes as-is, regardless of condition. That includes homes with deferred maintenance, pest issues, structural problems, or years of accumulated belongings. There is no requirement to clean, repair, or stage the property before closing.

How quickly can I close if I need to move to a care facility?

In this case, the seller closed in 45 days and was able to move out on her own schedule without a hard deadline imposed by the buyer. Timelines can vary, but Dynamic Home Buyers works to match the closing date to what the seller actually needs.

Will my family or caregiver need to be involved in the sale?

That depends on the property’s ownership and your personal situation. In this case, the seller communicated directly with her siblings on her own timeline. The team walks each seller through what to expect and welcomes questions from family members or caregivers involved in the process.

Do I pay any fees or commissions when I sell to Dynamic Home Buyers?

No. There are no agent commissions and no seller-side closing fees. The agreed price is what the seller receives at closing.

What if I am not sure whether to use a cash buyer or list with a realtor?

Dynamic Home Buyers will walk you through both options honestly. In this case, the team offered the seller a referral to a traditional real estate agent during the initial conversation. If a traditional listing is the better fit, the team will say so.
