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!

“When my daughter and her husband decided to move to Augusta, I was usually the one to go see available homes and vet them since they were not in town and I was. Matt was always very helpful and accommodating. He had a really clear grasp of what they needed and wanted in their new home and worked hard to find it for them. Abi-Grace was also great. Matt assisted my daughter and her husband through each step of the buying process and helped them with some difficult negotiating after multiple unknown issues were discovered from the inspection. Matt is an energetic dynamo, and it is obvious that he enjoys what he does. That translates into success.”

Augusta, GA

“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.”
