The Offer
Not every home that looks like a good deal actually is — and my buyers learned that early in their search. The property checked a lot of boxes on the surface: great layout, great location, and freshly updated. But once we got the inspection report back, several deferred maintenance issues came to light — things that weren’t immediately visible but would’ve added up to thousands in repairs after closing.
After reviewing everything, I advised my clients to walk away — and they trusted the process.
The good news? It didn’t take long to find the right fit. With a solid understanding of the market and what they were truly looking for, I knew a better opportunity would come up — and it did. We found a beautiful, recently renovated home that was not only a better fit, but also a smarter long-term investment.
When that home hit the market, I moved quickly to get my clients in position — and it paid off.
“A ‘Purchase and Sale Contract’ is not really that until after due diligence is over in GA/SC, we prefer to call this contract an, ‘Exclusive Right to Negotiate’. The ball is in the buyer’s hands from now on.”- Matt Kelly
The Due Diligence Period!
From the moment we go under contract, the focus shifts to protecting our buyers and making sure they get the best possible deal before closing. It’s not just about getting to the finish line — it’s about making sure the investment is sound and that there are no surprises waiting after move-in. Even when a home has just been renovated and looks great on the surface, we never skip steps.
During the due diligence period, we leaned on our trusted network of inspectors and contractors to take a closer look at the property. They are thorough and give honest, straightforward feedback. They helped us put together a detailed list of items that needed attention — not just to protect our buyers, but to help the seller fully understand the condition of the home they were offering.
The result? We were able to negotiate meaningful repairs before closing that added real value for our clients. They walked into their new home with peace of mind, knowing they had all the facts, and knowing they weren’t going to be hit with unexpected costs right after the keys changed hands.
That’s what a strong due diligence process looks like — and it’s a big part of what we bring to the table.

The Road To Closed!
Once we were under contract on the right home, the focus shifted to making sure everything came together smoothly - and that's where experience really matters. The closing process isn't just signing paperwork and getting the keys - it is about making sure every detail is handled with care. I stayed in close contact with the lender, the closing attorney, the listing agent, and all the parties involved to keep things moving forward. From final walkthroughs to double-checking contingencies, timelines, and documentation, my job is to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
We confirmed all repairs had been completed, reviewed the final settlement statement, and made sure the buyers had full clarity before signing anything. By the time we reached the closing table, my clients felt confident and informed.
Everyone left the table satisfied - our buyers with a home they could trust, and the seller with a deal that reflected the true value of their work. Nothing better than seeing great clients land in the right home, the right way!
