My father remarried a bunch of times and had kids with all sorts of different women.
- My family is a mess of half siblings who don’t like one another.
We all didn’t grow up in the best situation. I made sure to get myself out of there and support myself. My father and I didn’t see each other a lot, but remained close. When he passed away I wasn’t that shocked that the house went to me. All my half siblings were eager to get their hands on the property. They wanted a piece of the pie. They had a lot of opinions on renovations, staging, and real estate agents. Everyone wanted to know how much I was going to sell the place for. I realized that I needed to hide when I sold the place and for how much. There were a few siblings in the weeds that were definitely hoping to squat in the home for free. I ended up contacting a cash home buyer in Jacksonville that deals with situations like these. The local home buyer was really great. Everything was quick, easy and discreet. We agreed on a price, signed papers and let that be the end of it. I had months where nobody knew if I was going to list the house or if I was living in it. Then it came out that I had already sold it and I never told anyone how much I made on it. It was the best idea for my case. That way nobody could steal the money that didn’t belong to them.
