Daniel D’Ambrosio, Founder of Fast Home Sales, which offers their clients an alternative way to sell their property without the hassle, stress, and fees associated with a traditional sale joins Enterprise Radio to share how to sell a house fast to a company that truly cares.  

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Daniel D’Ambrosio discuss the following:

* OK, now your business is a little different because more business for you doesn’t necessarily mean “selling” as it does for most companies, but you are looking to “buy’ homes.  But even still, this purchase process can be incredibly competitive, is that right? * With a home purchase, it’s all about numbers right? I mean if Buyer A offers $150k and Buyer B offers $200k, it’s a pretty easy decision for the seller right? * Has this approach worked for you?* What does caring actually mean though? I mean that was a nice story with that lady but what about the guy that’s behind on a few mortgage payments and just needs to sell. It would be all about money for him, right?  * What are the fees typically associated with selling a home to you guys versus someone utilizing a real estate agent or big-name IBuyer?

When my life is over, I only hope that two things be said about me… “He loved God with all his heart, soul and mind and he loved others as himself”  Of course, this is a lofty goal, but I truly want to live my life in a way that glorifies God and blesses others.

Since 2004, I have had the privilege of working with and serving some of the best clients, teammates, and employers in the country in real estate.  I have purchased and sold hundreds of homes, renovated dozens upon dozens and definitively found my passion in serving others in real estate. I have worked as an agent, a construction team member, a “flipper”, a landlord, an employee, a boss.  I have stepped on nails (more times than I care to mention), been covered in fiberglass insulation (not fun) and been zapped with live wires (yikes!)… but I still love this business.

I love working with sellers and providing unique solutions that perfectly fit their situation. I love turning a worn-down home into the crown jewel of the neighborhood. I love providing beautiful, quality housing to families that will enjoy it for a lifetime.

Personally, I reside in Greenville, SC. I have a loving wife of 17 years and 5 incredibly wonderful kids. I love coffee and ice cream (probably too much).
