A Masterclass on Representing
Your New Neighbor, the Right Way

We just helped our buyers score a big win in Westlake—landing their dream home under value with $12K in repairs negotiated before closing. With the right strategy, timing, and a clear plan, we turned a second-chance listing into the perfect opportunity. Here’s how we made it happen.

The Offer

This one had a story before we ever stepped inside. After being off the market for a bit, it came back on—and we were ready. My clients had been searching with me for nearly two years, patiently waiting for the right fit. The moment this home popped back up, we knew it was time to act. We made a strong, well-structured offer and ended up locking it in well below the appraised value. On top of that, we negotiated $12,000 in repairs before closing. The key here wasn’t just timing—it was knowing how to position the offer so it felt like a win for both sides. This wasn't just another deal; it was the right home at the right price, and we helped our clients capitalize on the opportunity.

“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!

To pull this together, there were a lot of moving parts. We coordinated the sale of their previous home, helped them secure a bridge loan, and made sure every piece lined up to avoid unnecessary stress. During due diligence, we didn’t skip a step—we brought in one of our top-tier inspectors to get a full read on the home. The inspection uncovered a few things that needed attention, and that gave us the leverage we needed to revisit pricing and repairs. Because we had done our homework and communicated clearly, the seller was on board. They understood that the pricing wasn’t just a number—it was backed by data and strategy. That clarity made all the difference.

The Road To Closed!

When it came time to close, everything was buttoned up and ready to go. The seller had addressed the repairs, the home was in pristine shape, and our client walked into a place that felt like theirs from day one. With a stunning view of the West Lake Golf Course, this home wasn’t just a smart buy—it was the one they’d been hoping for all along. The best part? They didn’t have to overpay or settle. They got what they wanted, and we made sure every detail was handled along the way. If you’re thinking about making a move—especially in the luxury market here in Martinez or Evans—I’d love to show you how we can help you do the same.
