When Steve and Jill decided to sell their home in Ballantyne, they wanted a clear strategy that would help them prepare the property, reach qualified buyers and coordinate the timing of their next move.

They worked with Josh Stone, President of Brokerage Development at Stone Realty Group. From listing preparation through negotiations and closing, Josh focused on creating a structured selling process around the couple's priorities.

Building a Strong Ballantyne Home Selling Strategy

Before the home went on the market, Josh and the Stone Realty Group team developed a listing plan that included staging guidance, professional photography and a dedicated property website.

The goal was to present the home consistently across its marketing and make its strongest features easy for prospective buyers to understand.

A Full-Price Offer After 22 Days on the Market

Steve and Jill's home received a full-price offer after 22 days on the market.

Once the offer arrived, the focus shifted from marketing the property to negotiating terms that worked with the sellers' relocation plans. Josh helped structure the transaction around both price and timing rather than treating the offer price as the only consideration.

“Josh combined great market knowledge with excellent communication and attention to detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.”

Using a Lease-Back to Make the Move Easier

Steve and Jill were also preparing to relocate closer to family, which made the timing of their move especially important.

Josh negotiated a quick closing along with a lease-back arrangement that allowed the couple to remain in the home temporarily after closing. That gave them additional flexibility to complete their transition without having to move immediately on the closing date.

The transaction is a good example of why sellers may want to evaluate the full set of offer terms, including closing date, possession and other contingencies, rather than focusing solely on purchase price.

Communication From Listing Through Closing

For Steve and Jill, the outcome was not only about securing a full-price offer. They also wanted a selling process that stayed organized while they prepared for their next chapter.

Josh's communication, attention to detail and familiarity with the Charlotte market helped keep the listing, negotiations and closing coordinated from beginning to end.
