The turnover rate for housing in this part of the country is outrageous! I live on the northern edge of Jacksonville, in North Florida, and my job doing home renovations has never been so busy! I’ve worked here for the last decade, and seen this company grow from a two-person operation to a work crew of 40 technicians.
There are a lot of people in transit, moving into the area and then moving away a few years later.
Property values in Jacksonville have never been higher, so my experienced team of home repair professionals is highly in demand. One company I do jobs for is called Cash for Houses, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. When you call Cash for Houses there is no real estate agent or brokerage, it’s just a guy on the phone who makes a cash offer. It’s not a great cash offer for your house, but it’s immediately, and you don’t need weeks worth of paperwork and probate. There are several similar real estate companies in Jacksonville, and all of them are as busy as we are! I actually have to turn away jobs from other Jax real estate companies, because I don’t have enough workers to get them all done. Besides, I don’t want to work for the competition, because the Cash for Houses company pays me very well. They have also offered me a chance to buy one of the homes they purchase at a steep discount. For all the work I do on Jacksonville real estate, this would be my first time as a home buyer.
