Driving Our Economy Forward: Goliath
HAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF) –Have you ever had a life changing event and needed to sell your home? That’s where Goliath can help. The business located in Chattanooga has been helping homeowners move on to their next phase in life. Take a look at this week’s Driving our Economy Forward.
“What we do is help those individuals who want to sell and move on to the next phase of their life. Transact on that property. Sometimes it’s via cash offer from an investor. Sometimes it’s with connecting them with a realtor who can help them with that home in the market. And then ultimately, sometimes it’s helping them even schedule the most basic things, like moving supplies and moving trucks. And so, we really try to take, a process that historically has always been a people business and just help to bring the people that can help them transact and move on to the next phase of their life,” said Austin Beveridge, Co-Founder of Goliath.
“I was in a relationship, and I bought a house in Tahoe, and the partner that I was with at the time, you know, buy this house, move in together, and, and that I had gone through this event and, unfortunately needed to sell that asset. And so, a realtor was there to help me with that transition of selling that home. And then moving on with the next phase of my life. And so, we realized, like, hey, everybody goes to these life events. And if you can help them at that single most important decision in their life, right. That’s the largest financial decision most people make buying a house, selling a house. Moving on to the next phase of their life. If you can unlock that piece, you can actually help them progress in life,” said Beveridge.
“Seeing Austin go through, you know, his life of Van Gogh and seeing the hardships that he went through. We decided that there could be a really good opportunity when it comes to impacting, a lot of folks lives by helping reach them at the right time. There’s a lot of really exciting things. And we’re able to help homeowners do. Right. Sometimes, folks will reach out to them with lowball offers, and we try to help them understand the entire economy, help them understand the entire market, give them what their house is actually worth,” Max Yuan, Co-Founder of Goliath.
“We took an agent that had done, roughly $6 million in listings over the past five years to almost $20 million in listings in less than two months. So, we effectively doubled his entire lifetime career of sales in less than two months. So, we’re taking people that historically have had some success in real estate and multiplying their career tenfold. And so, we’re transforming people’s lives. Both on the homeowner front, but also on the agent front. And so, for that, very proud to be in a position to do that and, and excited, about what we’re building and proud of the team that has made it all possible,” said Beveridge.
