When property taxes are piling up, a building is falling into disrepair, and an estate is looking for a way out, the situation can feel overwhelming. This was exactly the case for a distressed office building on Davis Road in Augusta.
At Myers House Buyers, we don’t just buy houses; we solve real estate problems that feel unsolvable. Here is how we helped a local estate and a residential agent turn a high-pressure situation into a win-win-win.
The Challenge: A Property in Limbo
The property on Davis Road was a 1,764-square-foot office building that had seen better days. As part of an estate, it came with a heavy emotional and financial burden for the inheritors.
- The Condition: The building was in dire need of a full renovation.
- The Debt: The estate had fallen behind on property taxes, creating a ticking clock for the sellers.
- The Competition: Despite the condition, the property was listed for $275,000 and immediately drew multiple offers.
In a “highest and best” situation, many sellers feel stressed by the uncertainty of who will actually follow through. That’s where Paul Myers stepped in.
The Solution: Expertise, Certainty, and Local Commitment
The listing agent, Amy Cook of Meybohm Real Estate, needed a buyer who wouldn’t flake out during the inspection period or struggle with traditional bank financing on a distressed building.
Paul provided a solution that focused on three pillars:
- Certainty of Closing: By making a non-contingent cash offer, Paul removed the “finance hurdle” that often kills deals in the eleventh hour.
- Agent Collaboration: Paul allowed the listing agent to handle both sides of the transaction, ensuring a smooth communication flow and a streamlined process for the seller.
- Local Roots: As a lifelong Augusta resident, Paul wasn’t just another out-of-state investor looking for a quick flip. He had a vision for the building.

The Outcome: A Fresh Start for Everyone
Paul’s offer was successful. By choosing Myers House Buyers, the estate was able to pay off the back taxes, avoid further holding costs, and walk away with a clean slate.
The Numbers at a Glance:
- Purchase Price: $275,000 (Cash)
- Renovation Investment: $50,000
- The Result: A fully renovated, professional office space that now serves as the official headquarters for Myers House Buyers.
