“We Had to Move Out of State and Didn’t Want Two Mortgages” (Mentor Case Study)

Two mortgages is one of those situations that looks manageable on paper… until it hits your real monthly budget.

This Mentor case study is about a homeowner who needed to move out of state and didn’t want their old house turning into an expensive anchor.

The situation

A homeowner in Mentor needed to relocate quickly.

They were facing:

• a new housing payment
• carrying costs on the old home
• uncertainty about how long it would take to sell

They didn’t want to gamble.

Why the traditional timeline didn’t fit

A retail sale might have worked, but it would come with:

• showings
• inspection negotiations
• buyer financing delays
• unpredictable closing dates

When you’re moving out of state, that uncertainty gets expensive fast.

What ForeverHome RE did

We gave them:

• a clear cash offer
• a fast closing option
• a timeline that matched their move

No repairs. No showings. No waiting.

The result

They sold, avoided double payments, and moved forward without the financial squeeze.

The takeaway

If you need to sell fast in Mentor or Lake County to avoid carrying two mortgages, a cash offer can protect your finances.
