“The House Had Old Wiring and We Didn’t Want to Deal With It” (Eastlake Case Study)

Electrical issues are one of the fastest ways a seller decides:

“I’m not fixing this. I’m done.”

Because electrical problems aren’t cosmetic.

They’re expensive, stressful, and they make buyers nervous.

This Eastlake case study is about a home with older wiring and a seller who wanted out.

The situation

A homeowner in Eastlake had concerns about the electrical system.

They noticed:

• older panels
• questionable wiring
• outlets and circuits acting up
• general “this needs an upgrade” reality

They didn’t want to sink money into it just to sell.

Why electrical issues complicate listings

In a traditional sale, electrical concerns can cause:

• inspection objections
• repair demands
• buyer fear
• lender hesitation in extreme cases

Even when it’s fixable, buyers treat it like a big unknown.

What ForeverHome RE did

We evaluated the property as-is and made a cash offer that reflected:

• repair scope
• condition
• Lake County comps

No repair requirements. No drawn-out negotiation.

The result

The seller sold as-is and avoided a costly electrical project.

The takeaway

If your home in Eastlake or Lake County has electrical issues and you want to sell, you can still do it.
