Purchased property that was badly damaged - fire started in the garage and essentially the house needed to be completely rebuilt. The Seller’s mother passed away in the house, so we held a private showing the day before we had the open house so they could have some closure and pay their respects in a difficult time for their family. Our team worked with the city and inspectors to get all of the permits to rebuild the house, but keep the charm of the neighborhood. The eventual buyer of the house was a pastor in a church, and he was planning to host church band practice in the garage that was originally burned in the fire. Was a nice full circle moment.

We worked hand in hand with a probate attorney based in San Bernardino. With tricky family trees, multiple people in line to get title to a house, or inherited properties - oftentimes the Seller needs to fork out upwards of $20,000 in legal probate fees just to get the property under their name. For a Seller in Riverside, we were able to help her and her daughter through the probate process - but most importantly our team paid all the legal fees upfront. It was a win-win because without our help they did not have the capital to fix the legal problem, and we were able to fix up a beat up house in the neighborhood. The property did not have electricity or running water, so our team paid those bills for almost a year to ensure the Seller had the basic needs while we dealt with the lawyers. The Seller and her daughter used the funds to relocate to a safer area and finally have the fresh start they were looking for. It was a rewarding process and we are currently in the final stages of rebuilding the property for the next family to move in.

HRG has worked with multiple sellers in the City of Rialto. One recent success is a probate property that we purchased from an out-of-state owner. The seller inherited the property and there were tons of personal items left in the house.
Our team identified lightly used items and furniture and we donated those items to a local church. For the unwanted items the seller left behind, we gave her peace of mind that we would be taking care of all of it and disposing of the trash properly. When we say buying AS-IS, we mean it. It’s important for HRG to truly solve the real estate problem and make the transaction as swift as possible. In this case with an out-of-state seller, we were able to get all the documentation signed electronically and help with mobile notaries. She received a fair cash offer and most importantly felt comfortable selling us the house because of the attention to detail and care we have towards all of our projects. The neighbors were especially happy that a vacant, hoarder house was getting a total makeover and cleaning up the neighborhood.

One of HRG's biggest successes involved a family in Colton who's burned property was a real eyesore in the neighborhood. The property was in probate so we were able to help the Seller with the legal process to properly transfer the title in the Seller's name. It was about 1/2 a mile from Colton High School and on a busy major street, so every day kids were walking by this house and being exposed to all the toxins the air from the debris. The bright side of the story is we fixed the problem and fully rebuilt the property.
The Seller was able to close that chapter of her life and move on with her net proceeds. The builder rebuilt the property and ultimately got the attention of local police and the Mayor of Colton for the great work done to the house and community. It's a full team effort transforming a property into a home and bringing in a new family to a safe environment. We were very happy with the result, and more importantly, making the neighborhood safe and building a beautiful home.
