How We Sold 2401 SE Seymour Road, St Joseph, MO 64507 — The Full Story

Our sellers were ready for their next big adventure — RV living in Idaho — but they needed to sell their St. Joseph home first to make it happen. They’d been working on renovations and wanted to ensure everything was perfect before listing, so they came to us six months early to create a strategic plan. They needed an agent who would work with their timeline and help them maximize their investment in all those improvements.

The Strategy

We met several times over those six months, giving our sellers time to complete their renovations while we developed a comprehensive marketing strategy for their unique edge-of-town property. When they were ready, Katy Gaines priced the home competitively to attract multiple buyers who would appreciate the rare combination of acreage, workshop space, and Mid Buchanan school district location. Our targeted marketing highlighted the property’s appeal to buyers seeking more space without sacrificing convenience.

The Success

The home at 2401 SE Seymour Rd sold in just one day with six offers, ultimately closing $15,000 over asking price at $325,000. Our sellers were thrilled to exceed their expectations and move forward with their Idaho adventure on schedule. This success reflects Nelson Home Group’s ability to position unique properties effectively in the St. Joseph market and deliver results that exceed our clients’ goals.
