Celebrating the Successful Sale of a Historic Gem with the Faust Family

At Gray Fox Realty, every home sale has a unique story, and the sale of this charming historic home in Carolina Close is no exception. We’re excited to share the journey of the Faust family—longtime members of their community—who trusted us to guide them through the sale of their beautifully renovated home. Here’s a closer look at how it all came together, from preparation to closing.

### A Longtime Connection

We’ve known Danny and Stephen Faust for quite some time, having worked with them on HOA committees and shared in the growth of the Carolina Close subdivision. Over the years, their home became a staple of the neighborhood, and the Faust family played an active role in making the community a better place.

When they purchased their historic home in 2018, it had a lot of potential. But after an extensive renovation, including the addition of a guest house and a two-car garage, the property was transformed into a true gem. The care and love they put into every detail were apparent, making this home a standout in the area.

### Preparing for Market

When Danny and Stephen decided it was time for a new chapter, they reached out to us at Gray Fox Realty to list their home. We connected several times before the house officially hit the market, helping the Fausts prepare with staging tips and lining up handyman services to ensure everything was in top shape. With an eye for detail and a focus on presentation, the home was ready to shine.

### An Offer (and a Backup!) in the First Week

Thanks to the Fausts’ hard work and our strategic listing approach, the home received an offer within the first week of being on the market! We were thrilled to see such quick interest. But in addition to the initial offer, we were also able to secure a backup offer—a critical part of the process that ended up being a game-changer.

Sometimes, real estate sales take unexpected turns, and this was one of those cases. When the original offer fell through, we seamlessly transitioned to the backup offer, ensuring the sale stayed on track and the home sold without any major delays.

### A Successful Sale and a Smooth Transition

In the end, the Fausts got exactly what they were hoping for: a successful sale on their timeline, with terms that allowed them to transition smoothly into their next adventure. We’re proud to have played a part in making that happen, and it’s always rewarding to see our clients move forward with confidence.

### Saving Big with Gray Fox Realty's Flat Fee Model

One of the best parts of this transaction? By choosing Gray Fox Realty's **Flat Fee model**, the Fausts only paid $2,495 as their listing fee. Despite the lower cost, they still received full-service support from start to finish—everything from home preparation and marketing to negotiation and closing. This model allowed them to save thousands of dollars in commission fees while still getting the results they wanted.

### Wishing the Faust Family All the Best

As the Faust family moves on to their next chapter, we’re grateful to have been part of their journey. They’ve been wonderful clients and even better neighbors, and we’ll certainly miss seeing them around Carolina Close. But with their home in great hands and exciting new plans ahead, we wish Danny, Stephen, and their family nothing but the best as they embark on their next adventure.
