**Selling a home with a pool can sometimes be a challenge, and this seller gets it. They're fully aware a pool isn't for everyone-and they're open-minded enough to offer a solution. If a buyer prefers yard space over pool time, the seller is willing to remove the pool entirely and deliver a freshly landscaped backyard designed to their liking. It's a project that would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and they're ready to take it on to make the house work for the right buyer. It's a rare offer and a chance to customize your outdoor space from day one!
