“The House Needed a Full Rehab and We Didn’t Have the Time” (Eastlake Case Study) Jan 29, 2026

“The House Needed a Full Rehab and We Didn’t Have the Time” (Eastlake Case Study)

A full rehab sounds like a business plan.

Until you’re the one living through it.

This Eastlake case study is about a seller who owned a property that needed a lot of work and didn’t have the time, money, or energy to manage it.

The situation

A homeowner in Eastlake owned a property that needed major work:

• outdated interior
• deferred maintenance
• mechanical updates
• cosmetic rehab
• repairs that made listing unrealistic

They didn’t want to become a rehab manager.

They wanted out.

Why listing wasn’t realistic

A full rehab property often isn’t financeable for traditional buyers, which means:

• fewer buyers
• longer time on market
• more negotiation pressure

The seller wanted a cash solution.

What ForeverHome RE did

We evaluated the home as-is and made a cash offer based on:

• current condition
• rehab scope
• Lake County market comps

No repairs required.

The result

The seller sold and avoided a long rehab project.

The takeaway

If your house in Eastlake or Lake County needs a full rehab, you can still sell as-is for cash.

ForeverHome RE buys fixer-uppers. Reach out for an offer.
