How we helped our buyers save nearly $10,000-turning an Inspection into opportunity!
We helped our buyers navigate a tough inspection, negotiate nearly $10K in repairs, and close with confidence. Smart strategy, steady communication, and real results. Here's how we made it happen.
“This is the time to secure the home, not negotiate the best deal possible”- Matt Kelly
In the heart of Summerville—one of Augusta’s most character-filled and historically rich neighborhoods—our buyers found a gem that needed a little polish. It was a charming older home that checked a lot of boxes, but we knew from the jump that age and charm can often come with hidden surprises. With that in mind, we helped our clients write a strategic offer that positioned them to compete while still giving them room to protect their investment. Our goal wasn’t just to get the home—it was to get it the right way. We looked beyond the listing and prepared our clients for the next steps that would ultimately help them land the property with confidence.
“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
Once under contract, we got to work. Our inspection team uncovered over 80 items needing repair, including major concerns with the sewer line—something that could have easily blindsided a less-prepared buyer. But because we were proactive, we were ready. We broke everything down, framed the true condition of the home in a way the sellers could understand, and negotiated hard. The result? Nearly $10,000 in repairs secured for our buyers. We weren’t just reacting—we were presenting facts, guiding strategy, and making sure our clients were protected every step of the way. In this market, especially with older homes, the power is in the prep work.
“We do not rely on the actions of others to deliver the results that we want to see for our clients”- Matt Kelly
At the closing table, our clients didn’t just sign paperwork—they walked into equity. By identifying issues early, negotiating effectively, and keeping the deal together through some tough conversations, we helped our buyers move into a historic home with peace of mind and money saved. They’re now the proud owners of a home with deep Augusta roots, and they get to enjoy it from day one without the weight of unexpected repairs. This is what a smart purchase looks like, and we were proud to guide them through it.
