A Homeowner’s Challenge: Moving Closer to Family Without the Hassle
When a Whitmore Lake, Michigan homeowner decided it was time to relocate to be closer to family, they faced a familiar problem: how to sell their home without the stress of cleaning, repairing, and waiting on the open market.
They wanted a simple, flexible, and trustworthy solution—a way to sell their home and move on their own timeline. That’s when they connected with I Buy Michigan, a local cash home-buying company run by Preston Saenz.

Why Listing With an Agent Wasn’t the Right Fit
For this seller, the traditional route of listing with an agent didn’t make sense. Preparing the home for showings, completing repairs, and waiting for buyer financing to clear would have been too time-consuming and uncertain.
They valued convenience over complexity—the ability to leave behind unwanted belongings, skip the repairs, and know that the sale was guaranteed. With I Buy Michigan, they didn’t have to worry about inspections, commissions, or last-minute surprises.
A Trusted Partnership Built on Flexibility
The seller first heard about I Buy Michigan through a direct mail letter and decided to reach out. Preston and his team responded within an hour, setting the tone for what would become a smooth, transparent experience.
One thing that made this deal unique was the timeline—it wasn’t rushed. The seller needed time to plan their move out of state, and Preston offered exactly that: a full year of flexibility to close when it was right for them.
Throughout the process, Preston and his team:
- Stayed in consistent contact with the homeowner
- Met several times in person to answer questions and offer reassurance
- Helped navigate the title process smoothly
- Allowed the seller to leave behind items they didn’t want to move
This consistent, caring communication helped the seller feel completely at ease from start to finish.
The Outcome: Peace of Mind and a Stress-Free Move
When the time came to close, everything was already in place. The seller didn’t have to lift a finger or worry about last-minute details. They described the experience as “the easiest real estate transaction we have ever had.”
By working with I Buy Michigan, the homeowner:
- Avoided costly repairs and agent fees
- Sold on their own schedule, taking a full year to move stress-free
- Enjoyed constant communication and transparency throughout
- Had peace of mind knowing their sale was guaranteed and handled with care
Their testimonial says it all:
“From the day we first met with Preston, to the day we closed, this was the easiest real estate experience we have ever had. Preston and Stephanie were honest, hard-working, and everything they promised came to pass. I would highly recommend the company.”
