David and Lisa Keaton had lived in their Cornelius home for 11 years. When David accepted a promotion requiring an immediate move to Denver, they had just 6 weeks to wrap everything up in North Carolina.
Their home needed a new HVAC system and had a dated kitchen. An agent told them they'd need $22,000 in updates before listing — with no guarantee of a fast close.
They called Acorn on a Thursday. We toured the home Friday, made a written cash offer that afternoon, and had a signed contract by Monday. The Keatons closed in 11 days and were in Denver before David's start date.
"We didn't fix anything, didn't stage anything. They handled it all." — Lisa K., Cornelius NC
