1159 Hunters Cove - A New Record!
We sold your neighbor's home for a neighborhood-high $ per square foot. Beat out 5+ offers for our buyer, and then proceeded to negotiate the price back down $8,000!!!
HOW?!?! Let's reflect below!
From Start To Finish
The Offer
Prior to submitting an offer, we checked in and discovered we were up against multiple offers. After checking comparable sales (comp), we had to go back to the only one true comp in the neighborhood. A sale from 2021! Using market data, we determined that the true value of the property was likely higher than asking. This gave our buyer confidence in their offer and secured the deal! While, this was the INITIAL offering, we know that in GA/SC, the due diligence period is really where the fun begins on our end! We were far from settling on a final deal.
The Negotiation Plan
During our due diligence period, we utilized our absolute best home inspector, Brandon Hedgecock, to go in and scrutinize every detail of this home. We found many, many defects but nothing that could not be handled. This is how we build as much leverage as possible for our buyers! We find that presenting a mountain is the best way to negotiate for the mole hill that our clients really want in the end. From here, we had multiple specialists quote out over 30 defects on the home, to come up with a grand total of $13,000 in repairs to bring this property back to it's full glory! Not bad for a home this age!
The End Result
After multiple meetings (4 total) to discuss our findings with the sellers, we settled on a significant reduction in the sales price of the home in order to proceed with a happy buyer client. This seller also threw in some beautiful furniture to sweeten the deal, and we all made it to the closing table extremely satisfied. After the closing, our team was able to assist the buyer client with multiple repairs utilizing our deep network of contractors. Our service does not end at the closing table!

“Matt Kelly was awesome to work with! We sold my late mother's home in Augusta and having Matt list the home and represent us was the best decision we could have made. Matt made the process seamless and this was important with us living 3 hours away from the property. Matt had referrals and contacts for anything needing repaired and he handled everything in Augusta while we focused on our lives in Atlanta. Matt did great marketing for the property and the home sold quick for full asking price. I highly recommend Matt for any of your home buying/selling needs. He will definitely get the job done!”

“That was very professional and knowledgeable throughout her entire interaction. He took the time to educate us and walk us through next steps, and what we would need to be doing. He was able to eliminate any surprises, while also negotiating on our behalf to get us the best deal on our home.”

“When selling a house, there is a lot that one can be stressed about. Matt reassured us that that the first days are the hardest days and helped us not to worry anymore. He routinely checked in with us, and worked very hard to make our experience a positive one. With his reassurance, it was clear that we will get by, and we will survive. If not for Matt, we would have been going down the road feeling bad. However, his expertise, professionalism, and constant availability were exemplary, and we knew that soon we would be on the road to success. We were on a short timeline for our sale and cross-country move. Matt worked hard, was accommodating throughout the process, and kept on trucking to ensure an efficient and timely sale. I highly recommend him.”
