“We Were Tired of Paying Utilities on an Empty House” (Eastlake Case Study)

Vacant houses don’t just cost money.

They leak money.

Even when nobody lives there, you’re still paying:

• electric
• gas
• water
• insurance
• taxes

This Eastlake case study is about a seller who realized the monthly drain wasn’t worth it anymore.

The situation

A homeowner had a vacant property in Eastlake.

They were paying utilities to keep the home stable and prevent issues, but every month felt like:

“I’m paying bills for a house that isn’t even helping my life.”

They didn’t want to hold it any longer.

Why listing wasn’t appealing

A traditional listing would mean:

• cleaning and prepping
• repairs
• showings
• waiting on buyer financing

The seller wanted speed and certainty.

What ForeverHome RE did

We made a cash offer as-is and offered a timeline that matched the seller’s goal.

No repairs. No showings. No extended carrying costs.

The result

They sold and stopped the monthly drain immediately.

The takeaway

If you’re paying utilities on a vacant house in Eastlake or Lake County, selling fast can protect your finances.
