The Nemetzes pooled their funds, including money from the sale of homes they had previously lived in, and bid on a house near where Kristy and Christel live in South Dakota. Their real-estate agent told them there were seven other offers. The sellers picked the Nemetzes in part because they offered cash for the house, which went for more than $500,000. That meant they didn’t need to wait around for a lender to approve a mortgage.
