Selling a Renovated Investment Property for Top Dollar
Far View Heights · Independence, MO
By Joe Nelson · Nelson Home Group
How We Sold 18900 E 6th Street N — The Full Story
Aldon is an investor who specializes in buying foreclosures and transforming them into move-in ready homes, and he brought us a beautifully renovated split-entry in Independence’s Far View Heights neighborhood. His goal was to price the home strategically for a quick sale that would maximize his return and keep momentum going for his next project. He chose Nelson Home Group because of our proven track record of helping sellers achieve top dollar in competitive timeframes.
The Strategy
We produced an engaging listing video to showcase Aldon’s complete renovation and priced the home aggressively to generate immediate buyer interest in the Independence market. The approach was simple: let competition drive the result. By creating early demand, we knew motivated buyers would compete for a move-in ready property. That strategy works especially well in Jackson County’s active market, where quality homes move quickly.
The Success
Within just two days on the market, we received four competitive offers, ultimately closing $10,000 over the $190,000 asking price. The winning buyer was so motivated they waived inspections entirely to secure the home. This efficient sale demonstrates Nelson Home Group’s ability to deliver results that exceed expectations while maintaining a smooth, on-time closing.
