Cash only. What does that mean? Do you have to come in with a bag full of hundreds of thousands of dollars? Genuine question, we don’t buy houses with cash here.

I think you would say " cash only" to anyone who enquires , just to make it known instantly so you dont waste each others time...... race or sexuality isnt an issue...... this is a non-story id say.

all these articles on here with supposed racism. that was a tactless comment from the agent before qualifying the buyer, but come on. thats a 500k-1m house all day depending on the area (didn't see location or price). That id going disqualify most buyers, even wealthy ones, from paying CASH. They get their time wasted often by people coming to look who cannot pay cash. shouldn't of said what they said, but doesn't sound very racist.

This is an awesome story! Bless his heart!

I SAW HIM ON BROADWAY IN THE 2017 CAST OF HELLO DOLLY AS AN ENSEMBLE!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! O MY GOSH!!!!!

I'd like to hear the sellers side. With just a few words he took price negotiation out of the transaction. He's probably on some tropical island with his bags of cash. Smirking.

YAWN

I hope you can cook baby - 'cause when I come to visit I expect a decent meal!

There are no human races, there ethical groups. If there was human races like animals, for instance lion can't mate with a parrot, OK! All humans can have children with someone of an other ethical group.

What a beautiful house. The only way I could imagine it more beautiful is if a bunch of white people were tending the grounds.

I call BS. Any house sale is cash only if you have a mortgage credit lined up. The seller always receives cash, just not fromnthe buyer, but from the financial institution. In any case, good for you and congratulations on your accomplishment.

"Cash only" suggests that the seller is a drug dealer or money launderer.

omg i get emails from this guy for the broadway collective!! happy for him!

Kudos on the new home and way to celebrate the past. I'd love to see the workmanship inside that house. So many skilled craftspeople were colored slaves an produced so many beautiful small touches that few notice. Fill it with love and joy.

WAY TO GO HARTWELL! Tabitha L. I TOTALLY agree with you, just sayin!

From property to owners, way to go :D

In Cranbrook BC, there was a residential school that was bought by Indigenous and turned it into a Resort making millions off of s****y white people

About bloody time. This shouldn't be a special story though. Should be normal.

Congratulations on your beautiful new home. I hope you have many wonderful years there and you fill it with all the love in the world. Your ancestors are looking down on you and blessing you with their pride. You deserve every happiness and all the love and luck in the world. Just keep being you as this world needs more people like you in it. Thank you so much for this wonderful and truly inspirational story. It made my day.

Imagine the disappointment of some rich white people who wanted to bulldoze it down to hide their old shame! :D

It's kinda sad there is a post about a black person buying a large house, wouldn't be news outside of the US.

Why would a cash offer be “off the table”? That doesn’t make a lick of sense. A cash offer is a seller’s dream! No waiting on loan officers, banks, TITLE (oh man especially with a home that old?) The only thing that could go sideways is the inspection, which could, if all doesn’t go well and there are structural issues, could come in with a value below asking. Then there would be some negotiating to do. But yeah! Cash is good. Cash is fantastic. And then, I’m with the comment just before mine by “Foxxy”. How DID the seller know the buyer was black? Fair housing laws are in place for that very reason. To protect buyers from steering and discrimination. I feel like I’m missing half the story. He called the seller himself? But then there’s a quote by an agent. Did Robert handle the sale without an agent? Confused. See, a buyers agent would’ve protected him. That’s what agents are FOR. Never deal with a seller or their agent yourself. You’re throwing yourself to the wolves!
