When Dias began the search for a home near Charlotte’s thriving Camp North End, he knew he wanted more than just a place to live—he wanted a property that made financial sense. Enter Jasmine Garcia of Stone Realty Group. With her calm, no-pressure approach and deep knowledge of the Charlotte real estate market, Jasmine helped Dias land a deal that checked every box: a beautiful home, significant savings, and instant equity.
A Smooth Search and a Powerful Negotiation
From the very beginning, Dias felt confident in Jasmine’s guidance. “I didn’t feel any pressure, and I felt like Jasmine really cared about my goals,” he shared. That trust proved invaluable once they found a charming home in Druid Hills, just minutes from Camp North End’s restaurants, art, and entertainment. Jasmine negotiated $20,000 off the list price and secured a seller-paid home warranty, setting the stage for an already impressive deal.
Handling Surprises with Expertise
During inspections, the team discovered active termites and structural damage—repairs estimated at over $22,000. Thanks to Jasmine’s persistence and negotiation skills, the sellers agreed to cover the full cost of remediation. Dias not only avoided a major expense but also gained peace of mind knowing the issue was resolved before closing.
Immediate Equity and a Bright Future
When the appraisal came back, the win was even bigger: Dias was moving in with $34,000 in instant equity, setting him up for long-term financial success. “Real estate is also about money,” he said, “and Jasmine did a great job!” With this first purchase complete, Dias is already planning to work with Jasmine again to grow his property portfolio.
