How We Sold 9012 NE 110th Street, Kansas City, MO 64157 — The Full Story

Our seller hadn’t owned this Liberty home long, but life shifted fast — with his son spending more time in South Kansas City for sports, he wanted to be closer and more present day to day. He chose to sell his Somerbrook house and rent a townhouse to put himself where his kid was, even though the home needed work he didn’t have the cash to fund upfront. That’s the exact problem Nelson Home Group is built to solve.

The Strategy

We put our Fix to List program to work: our contractor went in ahead of the listing and handled carpet, paint, and woodwork — roughly $3,000 in repairs — with the cost paid out of proceeds at closing instead of out of the seller’s pocket upfront. Once the home showed its best, we generated multiple offers and ran our preferred play in Liberty’s competitive market: disclosing terms to every buyer instead of calling for highest and best. Give people a target and they’ll fight to hit it — and that’s exactly what happened here.

The Success

The home went under contract in just three days with multiple offers on the table, and we used that competition to land an as-is offer at $10,000 over the $340,000 list price. For about $3,000 in repairs funded through closing, our seller walked away with an estimated $15,000–$20,000 more than he’d have netted listing as-is — and freed himself up to start his new chapter closer to his son in South Kansas City. That’s the kind of full-service, problem-solving sale Nelson Home Group delivers across Liberty and the Northland.
