How We Doubled Our Client's Value in 4 Years...

This Johnson's decided to purchase a home with our team in 2020 during the craziness of COVID. They negotiated a great deal and bought it for $270,000. They were completely shocked and in doubt when we met with them and shared that their home had almost doubled in value.

Last week, we helped those same clients sell their home for $493,000—a record-high price per square foot in the neighborhood! We've found that most people are like our clients and are completely shocked by how much their home has increased in value.

Should They Rent or Buy?

Moving to another area or a different state is intimidating; we know that! We strive to not only relieve the stress of a real estate transaction but also to secure our clients a home that we know will appreciate a quick rate and place them in a location that would be most practical for their lifestyles. 

That is exactly what we accomplished with The Morrison's. They needed to familiarize themselves with the upstate and which neighborhoods would provide their family with the amenities and activities they enjoy. The Morrisons were actually considering renting a property to try different suburbs out. We strongly advised against that due to the equity they would potentially lose out on. They trusted our team to assist them with selecting the perfect neighborhood based on our extensive knowledge and exclusive connections for off-market properties. 

Our team comprises of individuals who have lived here for a long time, some even their entire lives. We know what areas suit different lifestyles based on a client's hobbies, school preferences, and overall cost of living preferences. 

A 22% Yearly Increase in Appreciation is Unheard Of!

This client was very receptive to our advice on investing in a home that could potentially double in value. 

We assisted the Smith's in purchasing their home in Montebello in 2020. They came to us in search of an informed agent who could advise on the purchase of a luxury home. These clients knew they would not live in this property for too long, so they needed to purchase in an area that was expected to grow exponentially in value. 

They purchased their home for seven hundred thousand dollars. In a matter of four years, they were able to double their value. We recently sold their home for 1.369 MILLION dollars. That is 22% appreciation yearly. The average appreciation rate in Greenville, SC, in April 2024 is about 5%. 

Picking the Right Location Matters

If we could give one piece of advice, it would be this: Pick an agent who is familiar with the local market and which neighborhoods offer the greatest appreciation opportunities. The Williams moved here from Florida. They had no clue where to begin their search, but they did know that they wanted a neighborhood that would give them a great return on their investment. 

As real estate agents, we constantly promote the special attachment that a buyer will gain through purchasing thier home. This is an emotional experience; it also MUST be a logical one. The Williams did a fantastic job of allowing our agents to do their research and when purchasing their home. Whi were very receptive to the statistics we brought back to them. They chose a neighborhood that was significantly increasing in average price point year after year.
