Buying and Selling a Home in Liberty, MO? Why We Recommend Michelle Neely
By Joe Nelson, Retired Air Force, Nelson Home Group Team Leader and Mortgage Loan Originator
Buying a home in Liberty while you also have a house to sell? We recommend Michelle Neely, a member of our team at Nelson Home Group, Keller Williams KC North. She listed a client’s Kansas City, Missouri home and represented the same clients buying a new construction home in Ella’s Crossing, Liberty.
The purchase closed March 27, 2026. The sale closed three days later. Her experience gives you a concrete example to discuss when both transactions need attention.

Why this recommendation
Why choose Michelle for your Liberty sale and purchase?
-
She represented the same clients on both transactions. Michelle was the listing agent for their Kansas City home and the buyer’s agent for their Liberty purchase. The sale was in Kansas City, Missouri, not Liberty.
-
Her example includes a new-build purchase. The Ella’s Crossing home was finished and had never been occupied. Michelle represented the buyers; the builder’s brokerage held the listing.
-
The dates show what actually happened. The existing house went under contract in its first week. The new-home purchase and the old-home sale closed three days apart, rather than on the same day.
The client work
A Kansas City sale paired with a Liberty new home
The clients had found a larger home in Ella’s Crossing and were concerned about getting their existing house sold. Michelle handled the Kansas City listing and represented them on the Liberty purchase, keeping both transactions in the same conversation.
The sale side
The Kansas City home went under contract within its first week on the market. Its sale closed on March 30, 2026.
The purchase side
The buyers went under contract on the finished Liberty home on February 21 and closed on March 27, 2026. The home was listed by the builder’s brokerage.
Read the Liberty new-build buyer story and connected sale timeline. The published account documents Michelle’s role on both transactions. Ask your lender and closing professionals which sequence your financing and agreements can support.
Before choosing a new home
Tell your agent which kind of Liberty purchase you mean
A resale home
Discuss the seller’s available dates alongside your own sale. Identify what needs to be known before making an offer.
A finished new home
Ask whether the home is ready and which closing dates are available. Michelle’s Ella’s Crossing case involved this type of purchase.
A home still being built
Bring the expected completion date and your current-home plans into the same conversation. Ask what happens if either schedule changes.
Ask the agent to explain how they will coordinate with your lender, the other transaction’s agent and the closing professionals. The right sequence needs to fit your situation and the actual agreements.
Your Liberty move
The sale may be somewhere else in the metro
You do not need to be selling in Liberty to have a connected Liberty move. In Michelle’s published example, the house being sold was in Kansas City and the new home was in Ella’s Crossing. Tell us both locations when you contact the team.
