Sold for $15,000 over list price

Selling a home that isn’t ready for the market can feel overwhelming—especially when a DIY project stalls out and cash buyers circle with low offers. That’s exactly where the owners of 7000 Rovato Dr found themselves. By guiding them through a targeted, pay-at-closing renovation plan, I helped them transform an unfinished property into a move-in-ready listing. In just 7 days on the market, the home sold for $15,000 over asking, netting the sellers $76,000 more than their cash-offer option. What felt like a financial dead end turned into a fast, profitable win.

$49,000 Extra Profit 

When my client needed to sell her mother’s home to pay for memory care, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. The house was clean but dated, with a small bathroom and closed-off floor plan that would turn off buyers. Together, we created a smart plan: invest where it mattered most—opening walls and expanding the bath—while keeping other updates simple to balance the budget. Even after a price adjustment, the home sold faster than the neighborhood average and gave Kathy $49,000 more profit than selling as-is. That extra money covered months of her mother’s care and gave Kathy the peace of mind she desperately needed.

LANDLORD TO HOME SOLD

At 437 Chatham Ridge Court, the seller initially hired me to list their home for lease. They were upside down on the mortgage and felt trapped — becoming a landlord wasn’t part of their long-term plans, but it seemed like the only way forward. When a potential tenant inquired, I discovered through conversation that she was also interested in purchasing a home. That opened the door to an unexpected opportunity: owner financing. By walking the seller through the numbers and structuring a deal that aligned with their goals, we turned what began as a rental listing into a profitable sale that eliminated the stress of being a landlord and created a path to long-term financial gain.

I was very skeptical about buying a home in Texas, however due Kiel & DJ Lindey acute professionalism and acumen in real estate put me at ease with the loan process. What I liked best about the process was Kiel & DJ where always on top of my legitimate concerns, which they quickly addressed. Kiel & DJ were always available without delay. Either through electronic or verbal communication. There is nothing I can add to Kiel and DJ that would make them better. They are "Second to None," and I would most highly recommend them as trusted real estate agents. In short, their team effort made my dreams come true in returning to Texas where my family roots run deep!
