Dave
was born and raised in Champaign, Illinois.
He attended college locally at the
University of Illinois and lived in his
parents' basement during his college career.
Before Dave's senior year, his parents moved
to Sarasota, Florida where they had
purchased a condo for retirement. Dave was
the only child and his parents' deeded
him the house in Champaign as a graduation
present, he need only to take over the
payments.
Following college graduation, Dave was
offered a job in Dallas, Texas. The position
was a dream-job of Dave's, so he quickly
accepted the position.
He bought a condo in Dallas, and he planned
on keeping the house in Champaign as a
rental. After a few months, of non-qualified
rental applicants, Dave began to grow
impatient as the financial stress of two
mortgages began to build.
He consulted with a local Realtor and
granted her the exclusive right to sell his
Champaign home. The length of the agreement
was 60 days. He really wanted to get the
house sold, so he enticed the Realtor with
an above average commission. There where
multiple open houses and a decent amount of
interest displayed in the property by
potential buyers, however not one offer was
made within the 60 day period.
After an unsatisfactory experience with the
Realtor, Dave consulted with Schwaps.
Schwaps and Dave were able to agree on a
sales price and due to the fact that Dave
was getting eaten alive by his second
mortgage, Schwaps was able to close in two
days. Dave was able to move-on with life in
Dallas and had wished he had turned to
Schwaps months earlier.
