Kevin Washington had owned a rental property near Duke University for nine years. When his last tenant left owing back rent and significant damage, Kevin was done. The property needed $32,000 in repairs before any agent would list it.
Kevin called Acorn on a Monday. We walked through Tuesday morning, made a written cash offer that afternoon, and closed 11 days later. Kevin used the proceeds to pay off debt and start a new chapter — without ever calling a contractor.
"Done being a landlord. Acorn made the exit painless." — Kevin W., Durham NC
