Annie's Story: How SimpliSold Delivered $65,000 Above Starting Price

When Annie M. decided to sell her Las Vegas home last spring, she faced the same dilemma many Las Vegas homeowners encounter: stick with the traditional selling process or try something new. After interviewing three conventional agents and hearing about Momentum Realty's SimpliSold system, she chose to take a chance on our innovative approach. The result? A sale price $65,000 above her starting price—with no repairs, no random showings, and no stress. Here's her remarkable story. 

The Property: A Lived-In Family Home with "Potential" 

Annie had lived in her 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Las Vegas home for over 11 years. Like many long-term homeowners, she'd maintained the property well but hadn't updated many features: 

• Original kitchen cabinets and countertops from 2000 

• Master bathroom in need of modernization 

• Flooring that had seen better days 

• Backyard landscaping that required attention 

• Exterior paint showing signs of desert sun exposure 

The home had good bones, a functional floor plan, and was located in a desirable neighborhood with excellent schools. Yet it was far from the move-in ready, magazine-worthy properties that typically sell quickly in today's market. 

The Traditional Recommendations: Spend Money to Make Money? 

Annie diligently interviewed three traditional real estate agents before contacting us. Their recommendations were strikingly similar: 

All three agents emphasized spending money to “improve” the home and the importance of making these updates before listing, arguing that the investment would "pay for itself" through a higher sale price and faster sale. 

Annie's Dilemma: The Traditional Path Didn't Add Up 

As Annie reviewed these recommendations, she calculated the true cost of the traditional approach: 

1. Upfront Investment: $25,000-35,000 for improvements she wouldn't get to enjoy 

2. Project Management Headache: Coordinating contractors and living through renovations 

3. Time Delay: 1-2 months to complete updates before even listing 

4. Uncertainty: No guarantee the improvements would yield the promised return 

5. Showing Disruption: 6-8 weeks of keeping the home show-ready 

6. Holding Costs: Continued mortgage, utilities, HOA, and taxes during the extended timeline 

"When I ran the numbers," Annie told us, "I realized I'd be spending at least $25,000 upfront with no guarantee it would come back to me. Plus, living through renovation work and then months of showings at my age just seemed overwhelming." 

The SimpliSold Alternative: A Fundamentally Different Approach 

When Annie met with our SimpliSold specialist, she was surprised by our fundamentally different recommendation: 

1. No pre-listing improvements required  

2. A strategic starting price of $400,000 to attract maximum interest 

3. A compressed marketing timeline of just 14 days 

4. Our proprietary online bidding platform to create buyer competition 

5. No traditional showings – just one controlled two day showing event 

6. A guarantee of multiple offers or we'd sell it for free 

"It sounded too good to be true," Annie admitted. "But when they explained the psychology behind their pricing strategy and showed me examples of previous successes, I decided to give it a try. The fact that I didn't have to spend tens of thousands on updates I'd never enjoy was the deciding factor."

The Buyer's Perspective: Why Pay More? 

You might wonder why buyers would pay $65,000 above the starting price for a home that needed updates. The answer lies in the psychology of our bidding platform and today's market dynamics: 

1. Transparent Competition: Buyers could see other offers in real-time, creating a competitive environment. 

2. Renovation Potential: The winning buyer explained that they preferred to customize the updates to their taste rather than paying for someone else's design choices. 

3. Financing Advantage: The buyer planned to finance the renovations through a renovation loan at a favorable interest rate. 

4. FOMO Effect: Our compressed timeline created a "now or never" opportunity that motivated decisive action. 

As the winning buyer told us: "Even at $465,000 plus my planned renovations, I'm getting the exact home I want in a neighborhood I wanted. And I get to choose every finish and feature." 

Annie's Advice to Other Las Vegas Homeowners 

When we asked Annie what advice she would give to other homeowners considering SimpliSold, she didn't hesitate: 

"Do the math carefully. The traditional agents were telling me to spend money I'd never get to enjoy, with no guarantee it would come back to me. SimpliSold let me sell as-is, avoided months of disruption, and put significantly more money in my pocket. The process was transparent and actually quite fascinating to watch as the bids came in. At my age, simplicity and certainty were priceless—the extra $65,000 was just a bonus!"
