Selling a home is usually a months-long marathon of repairs, showings, and waiting for bank approvals. But what happens when you don’t have months? What happens when you have exactly seven days before the county auctions off your home on the courthouse steps?
For one local seller, this wasn’t a “what if”—it was a reality.
The Problem: A Timeline That Traditional Real Estate Couldn’t Touch
Tara McNaylor, a respected agent with Keller Williams Augusta Partners, received a call that every agent dreads. The seller was facing a foreclosure auction in less than a week.
While Tara is an expert at marketing homes on the MLS, those traditional methods typically take 30 to 90 days to close. Listing the property wasn’t just a “bad idea”; it was an impossible one. With the “atom bomb” of foreclosure looming over the seller’s credit, Tara knew she needed a partner who could move at lightning speed.
The Solution: The Myers House Buyers Speed Guarantee
Tara reached out to Paul Myers and the team at Myers House Buyers (MHB). Known for their deep roots in the CSRA and their ability to provide “boots on the ground” offers within 24 hours, MHB stepped in to assess the situation.
The goal was clear:
- Buy the home as-is (no repairs needed).
- Pay all cash (no waiting for mortgage lenders).
- Close before the auction (saving the seller’s financial future).
The Result: A Win-Win-Win Outcome
In a display of expertise and efficiency, Myers House Buyers closed the deal in less than 7 days from the initial call—and just two business days before the foreclosure was set to happen.
By working with Paul Myers, the seller realized several life-changing benefits:
- Credit Preservation: They avoided the long-term devastation of a foreclosure on their record.
- Zero Repair Costs: The home was purchased exactly as it sat, saving the seller thousands in upfront costs they didn’t have.
- Immediate Relief: The stress of an impending auction was replaced with the peace of a closed sale.
“Tara saved this seller’s credit from the atom bomb that is a foreclosure. Even though Tara didn’t ask for it, MHB paid her a 3% commission to make this a win-win-win transaction,” says Paul Myers.
