At Gray Fox Realty, every sale tells a story—and this one is all about preparation, precision, and perseverance.

We recently worked with homeowners who had taken great care of their property and wanted to sell without the stress of constant showings or drawn-out negotiations. Their top priorities were clear: price the home correctly, market it well, and find the right buyer quickly so they could move closer to family in Chattanooga.

The Right Price + Professional Presentation = Quick Results

This home was clean, well-maintained, and presented beautifully. Our team got to work deploying Gray Fox Realty’s proven marketing systems—professional photography, compelling property descriptions, and strategic exposure across multiple platforms.

Thanks to our marketing and the sellers’ decision to price it right from the start, the home attracted significant interest and received multiple offers during the very first weekend of showings.

The sellers were able to choose the offer that worked best for their timeline and situation, including a delayed possession to allow them time to make their move stress-free.

A Roof Challenge Handled With Experience

Like many homes in the area, this one had some recent hail damage to the roof. The new roof couldn’t be installed before closing, which can often create a hurdle with buyer financing.

But thanks to clear communication and strong relationships with both the seller’s insurance and the buyer’s lender, we were able to craft a clause in the contract that kept everyone comfortable and the deal on track.

The Power of Teamwork

It took a little flexibility, some creative problem-solving, and the trust of a great client—but we got it done.

At Gray Fox Realty, we bring experience, professionalism, and a passion for doing what’s best for our clients. This sale is a great example of how a well-prepared home, a smart strategy, and a solid team can lead to a smooth, successful closing—even when unexpected issues pop up.
