Some of the best sales start with a phone call from a client you already know. This repeat client had sold a home with Tommy before, and when the investment property at 241 Maynard Ter, Atlanta, GA 30316 started working against them, they called again. From listing on July 8 to closing on August 28, 2026, the property moved from a burden to a done deal in just over seven weeks.
Here is how the sale came together, with the timeline up front so you can see how quickly a well-priced property can move in Metro Atlanta.
The Timeline at a Glance
| Date | Milestone | Details |
|---|---|---|
| April 2025 | Purchased | Client buys the property as an investment |
| July 8, 2026 | Listed | Home hits the market with Tommy |
| August 6, 2026 | Under contract | Offer accepted 29 days after listing |
| August 28, 2026 | Closed | Sale settles 51 days after listing |
The Second Call
After previously working with Tommy to sell a property at 250 Willow Park Trail, this client called him again when it was time to sell an investment property. The relationship was already there. They knew how Tommy prices a home, how he communicates through an offer, and what to expect from start to closing. This time, the situation was different from a typical home sale.
The property at 241 Maynard Ter, Atlanta, GA 30316 had been purchased in April 2025 as an investment. But inconsistent tenants created real challenges for the owner. Turnover ate into the returns, vacancies stretched on, and steady income turned into a constant hassle. When an attempt to obtain a mortgage forbearance was denied, the owner made the call: it was time to sell.

"This is the 2nd home that Tommy has sold for me. He's always on top of everything. He'll be my first call if I sell again."
The Result
A repeat client came back when circumstances changed, received a clear exit strategy, and successfully sold the investment property. The timeline tells the story: listed on July 8, under contract on August 6, closed on August 28. No drawn-out negotiations, no prolonged exposure, and a client who already knows who he will call if he sells again.
