When inheritance becomes a burden: Michel and Suzanne’s story

Un couple hérite d’un immeuble, mais les charges les étouffent. Découvrez comment Swifthome a facilité une vente rapide pour leur projet de retraite.
When Michel and Suzanne inherited a family building in the heart of Vallorbe, they believed they had received a valuable legacy—a symbol of their parents’ hard work and success. But behind the charming façade and rich family history, the building hid a much more complicated reality. Comprising a commercial space and several apartments, the property came with high maintenance costs that quickly became a heavy burden for the retired couple.

The challenges of a traditional sale

Realizing they couldn't afford to keep the building, Michel and Suzanne turned to a broker to help sell the property. However, they quickly ran into the slow pace of the traditional process: valuation, viewings, negotiations… everything dragged on. Meanwhile, the ongoing expenses continued to strain their budget, threatening their plans to invest in their retirement project.

Although the Vallorbe real estate market is active, it wasn’t fast enough to meet their immediate need for liquidity. It was at this point that their son suggested an alternative: contact Swifthome, a professional buyer known for its speed and reliability.

A simple and fast solution

After the first contact, Michel and Suzanne were pleasantly surprised by how simple the Swifthome process was. Unlike a broker who seeks a third-party buyer, Swifthome acts as a direct purchaser. Long negotiations, repeated visits, and drawn-out delays were now a thing of the past.

In less than two weeks, they received a firm offer. While it was slightly below their initial expectations, it addressed their top priority: quickly securing the funds needed to begin their new life.

Why they chose Swifthome

Michel and Suzanne didn’t hesitate for long. The speed and certainty of the transaction brought peace of mind that the traditional process couldn’t offer. By accepting the offer, they were able to free themselves from the burden of the building and invest in their retirement project without delay.

This story illustrates that inheriting property can sometimes feel more like a burden than a blessing—but there are solutions tailored to urgent needs. By eliminating intermediaries and delays, Swifthome proved to be a valuable ally in their situation.
