Success Stories With
Green Key Real Estate & Renovations Plus

At Green Key Real Estate, in partnership with Renovations Plus, we’re proud to share the success stories of homeowners and buyers who’ve transformed their real estate goals into reality with our help. Whether you're selling or buying, our mission is simple: make homes eligible for all loan types—including FHA, VA, and RD—and maximize value in the process.

Sellers benefit from a personalized walkthrough evaluation where we identify necessary repairs to attract the widest pool of buyers. With our experienced construction crew at Renovations Plus, those repairs can be completed efficiently—and if needed, paid for at closing from your proceeds. That means no upfront costs, fewer obstacles, and more competitive offers—often over asking price.

Buyers, too, gain access to homes they might not have qualified for otherwise—thanks to our team's ability to ensure properties meet lending standards.

Browse the stories below to see how we’ve helped sellers get more and buyers find their perfect fit—all through the power of smart renovations and seamless teamwork.

Turning Rejection into a Dream Home

Jacob and his family of four had rented for years and were ready to buy.
After losing out to a cash buyer, they found a home within budget — but it didn’t meet FHA standards due to needed repairs.

FHA requirements. The result? Jacob and his family became first-time homeowners — and both parties walked away happy





What We Did:


🛑 Home didn’t qualify for FHA due to needed repairs

Launching a New Life with Equity in Hand 

Xyrus, a young homeowner in a quaint rural town, had lovingly maintained his home for a decade. 
When he landed the job offer of a lifetime two hours away, he jumped at the opportunity — but the house wasn’t quite ready to hit the market.
We identified several issues that would have excluded FHA, VA, and RD buyers. 
Thankfully, my construction crew at Renovation Plus stepped in and completed the necessary repairs — with the cost deferred until closing.
A full-price FHA offer came in during the first week on the market. 
Xyrus walked away with his equity and a fresh start in a new city with his wife and newborn.



What We Did:




🚫 FHA/VA/RD buyers were at risk due to condition

We found the perfect house, but after heavy rain, standing water in the basement and a wet electrical panel threatened the deal.
Renovation Plus quickly diagnosed and resolved the grading issues. 
An electrician upgraded the panel and brought everything to code. 
Thanks to the repairs, Christie moved forward with confidence and secured her dream home.

A Fresh Start for a Veteran Family 

After living in their home for 30 years, the elderly sellers were ready to move in with their daughter. 
A disabled veteran with a growing family expressed interest in the property but was initially unable to proceed, as the home wasn’t eligible for VA financing due to its condition.
Once I spoke with the sellers’ representative, they agreed to complete any appraiser-mandated repairs. 
However, when the VA appraisal came back with an extensive repair list, both the buyer and sellers were discouraged.
That’s when I contacted my crew leader at Renovations Plus. 
He and his electrician quickly provided estimates and committed to getting the work done promptly to keep us on track for closing. 
Because the sellers didn’t have funds available upfront, they were relieved and grateful to use our pay-at-close option.
This successful outcome—two families supported, one dream home secured—is exactly why Green Key Real Estate offers our Concierge service in partnership with Renovations Plus. 
We help make the impossible possible.


What we did: 


🛠 Got fast repair quotes from Renovations Plus
💸 Offered pay-at-close so sellers paid nothing upfront
🏡 Helped a veteran’s family close with VA financin
