🏡 PRE-FORECLOSURE SHORT SALE | Simpsonville | $270,000

📍 1104 Dunwoody Drive is a single-story home in Simpsonville, offered as a short sale.

🔑 If you’re a first-time buyer, this could be your way into the Simpsonville market.
📈 If you’re an investor, it’s worth running the rental numbers.

❌ Quick myth-bust: a short sale isn’t a foreclosure auction.
✅ You buy directly from the homeowner, and the seller’s lender has to approve the final price. That means the timeline is usually longer than a standard purchase. Buyers who come in with financing lined up and realistic expectations tend to have the best shot.

📲 Want the details or a showing? DM me or call/text 864-630-0153.

Greenville County home prices grew just 1.3% year-over-year last month — down from over 4% earlier this year.

That's not a crash. It's a market where days on market are climbing (68, up 9 from last year) and buyers finally have room to negotiate again — good news whether you're buying your first home or running the numbers on an investment property.

Full breakdown is on the blog — link in bio. Or DM me if you want to talk through what it means for your specific search.

5 acres on Ridge Road — level, ready to build, and rare for how close it sits to everything. Utilities are already at the street. Zoning gives you room to think big: a single private estate, or a small development play.

You're minutes from Laurens Road and downtown Greenville, on a lot most people assume doesn't exist this close in. It won't stay on the market wondering what it could be.

WANT YOUR OFFER ACCEPTED? It's not about who bids the highest.

The buyers who win aren't the ones throwing the most money at it — they're the ones who make their offer easiest to say yes to: full underwriting (not just pre-approval), a closing timeline that fits the seller's needs, and contingencies used strategically instead of waived blindly.
