How We Sold 803 Cindy Lane — The Full Story
A couple of years ago, we helped Dean and Janet buy this Raymore home from family — every intention of staying put for good and being close to the loved ones who needed them. Then life dealt them a hard season, and they made the brave, bittersweet decision to move to Indiana to be near their son and grandkids, trading one chapter for the chance to be present for the next generation every single day. Walking with Dean and Janet through both moves — the coming and the going — was an honor we won’t forget.
The Strategy
We came out of the gate strong — professional photography and staging from day one, so the home showed online exactly the way it lived in person. We priced it right for today’s Raymore market and let the condition do the heavy lifting, because Dean and Janet had cared for this place like the home it was. When a property is this loved and this well marketed, buyers feel it immediately.
The Success
The response was fast and competitive: multiple offers, and a final sale price of $354,000 — over the $350,000 list — in just two days on the market. In a Cass County market where homes are averaging weeks, not days, that’s a result that speaks for itself. From the first photo to the closing table, this is the kind of full-service representation that helps you sell fast for top dollar — without leaving money on the table.
About This Property
803 Cindy Lane is a well-kept three-bedroom, two-bath ranch in Raymore’s Evan Brook neighborhood, set on roughly four-tenths of an acre in Cass County and zoned for the well-regarded Raymore-Peculiar (Ray-Pec) school district, with Stonegate Elementary nearby. Built in 2004, the home opens to a great room with nine-foot ceilings, a gas-log fireplace, and hardwood floors flowing through the entry, dining area, and kitchen, where birch cabinetry and stainless steel appliances anchor the space. The primary suite sits apart from the secondary bedrooms with tray ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a private bath with dual vanities, a separate tub, and a shower. Recent updates include new carpet and paint (2024), newer stainless appliances (2025), and a roof replaced in 2021. Out back, a fully fenced yard with mature shade trees and a Sunsetter awning over the deck makes for easy Missouri summers, and the unfinished daylight basement — already stubbed for a bath — leaves room to grow.
