🏡 MULTIPLE OFFERS & MOVING FORWARD!

818 W Cedar St in Cherokee didn’t stay available for long.

After hitting the market, this unique renovation opportunity quickly generated multiple offers, and the seller has now selected one to move forward with. 🙌

This is a great reminder that even homes needing significant work can create strong interest when they are priced and marketed correctly.

Thank you to everyone who reached out, scheduled a showing, shared the listing, or submitted an offer. We truly appreciate the activity and interest in this property.

If you’ve been thinking about selling — whether your home is move-in ready, needs some updates, or is a full renovation project — there may be a buyer looking for exactly what you have.

🏡 410 Indian St., Cherokee | Ranch-Style Living in a Convenient North-Side Location

Some homes stand out because of their finishes. Others stand out because of where they’re located. 410 Indian St. offers a little of both.

This ranch-style home sits on Cherokee’s northwest side, close to north-side shopping and restaurants, nearby schools, and the newer ball diamond and soccer complex. It’s a location that continues to be popular with buyers looking for convenience and long-term appeal.

The main floor features 3 bedrooms, an updated 3/4 bath with walk-in shower, a spacious living room, dining room, and galley-style kitchen. Downstairs adds a large family room, 2 non-conforming bedrooms, another 3/4 bath, plus utility and storage space.

You’ll also appreciate the 2-car attached garage, updated windows, and natural gas furnace.

💲 Offered at $180,000

If a ranch home in a well-requested area of Cherokee is on your wish list, this one is worth seeing in person.

🏡 403 MAIN STREET IN HOSPERS — STILL ONE TO KEEP ON YOUR RADAR

Sometimes a home doesn’t need a flashy pitch. It just needs the right buyer to notice the value.

At $149,000, this 1.5-story home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, main-floor laundry, a main-floor bedroom, and two more bedrooms upstairs — plus an extra room with even more potential.

What really helps this one stand out is the work that has already been done:

• New roof in 2025
• New windows in 2026
• New siding in 2026
• Detached 1-car garage
• Stove and dishwasher included
• Close to downtown Hospers

And for buyers looking at the bigger financial picture, Hospers offers a more affordable property-tax rate than some surrounding communities, which can make the overall cost of homeownership more appealing.

This could be a great fit for a first-time buyer, someone looking to simplify, or anyone wanting a solid home without having to immediately tackle several major exterior updates.

📍 403 Main Street | Hospers, IA
💲 $149,000

🏡 SOMETIMES A GREAT OPPORTUNITY JUST NEEDS A SECOND LOOK! 👀

📍 338 S 9th St. | Cherokee, IA
💰 NOW ONLY $185,000!

I’m genuinely surprised this property hasn’t received more attention! When you consider the living space, lot size, garage, and shop, there’s a LOT being offered for the money!

🏡 HERE’S WHAT YOU’RE GETTING:

✅ 2,389 sq. ft. of living space
✅ 4 bedrooms — 2 main floor, 2 basement
✅ Full bath + 3/4 bath
✅ Spacious living room + basement family room
✅ Kitchen with potential for a more open layout
✅ Approximately 16,000 sq. ft. lot
✅ Separate 2-car detached garage

🔥 AND THEN THERE’S THE SHOP!

🔧 28’ x 36’ — OVER 1,000 SQ. FT.!

Whether you’re into cars, woodworking, restoring equipment, hobbies, or simply need room for tools and storage, this shop opens up some incredible possibilities!

And with a separate 2-car garage, you don’t have to sacrifice your workspace to park your everyday vehicles.

The existing vehicle hoist is not included but may be purchased separately outside of closing.

💥 ALL OF THIS FOR $185,000!

Is this a brand-new home? No. Could the next owner make some updates and put their own touches on it? Absolutely!

But finding this combination of living space, lot size, garage AND shop at this price deserves a closer look!

🍂 With colder weather approaching, imagine having that shop ready for your winter projects!

👉 Here’s my challenge: Don’t let the days on market make your decision for you. Come see what this property actually offers!

The sellers are motivated, serious about selling, and ready to work with the right buyer!

Now, here’s what I really want potential buyers to understand…

The sellers recognize that finding the right buyer sometimes means having a conversation and working through the details. They’re open to considering serious offers and finding terms that make sense for everyone.

That doesn’t mean the property is being given away. It means there’s a genuine willingness to get a deal done!

📍 6269 M Ave | Quimby, IA

And if you know someone in the farming, trucking, or agricultural community who could put this property to good use, please share this post with them!

Sometimes the right opportunity starts with a simple conversation. Let’s have that conversation!

🏡 WAIT…411 ASH ST. IS STILL AVAILABLE?! 👀

YES — and at a NEW LOWER PRICE of $189,000! 🔥

If you thought this home sold, you’re not alone!

411 Ash St. in Cherokee was SALE PENDING, but the buyer unfortunately couldn’t follow through with financing. The home came back on the market through no fault of its own and hasn’t quite regained the attention it deserves.

Let’s change that! 👀

This is an exceptionally well-maintained ranch where pride of ownership is evident throughout!

🏡 3 main-floor bedrooms
🔥 TWO gas fireplaces
🛁 2 bathrooms
🎱 Huge lower-level family/game room
🚗 Oversized 1-car garage
🌳 Large lot with patio and garden shed
❤️ Beautifully cared for and move-in ready!

Don’t let the days on market fool you! This home was under contract, and an unfortunate financing situation gave someone else a second chance.

📍 411 Ash St. | Cherokee, IA
💰 NOW JUST $189,000!

🔥 HERE’S MY CHALLENGE TO YOU! 🔥

Stop scrolling past this one and COME SEE IT FOR YOURSELF! Pictures and descriptions only tell part of the story. I want to get some fresh eyes on this home because I believe it deserves a serious look!

🎃👻 WARNING: This Property May Cause an Extreme Case of GARAGE ENVY! 🏡🚗

It’s spooky season in Cherokee, and we’ve got a property that’s serving up a whole lot more TREATS than tricks! 🍬

311 N 11th St in Cherokee might just be the home you didn’t realize you needed!

Let’s play a little game…

🎃 Does your garage look like a haunted house full of stuff?

👻 Are your vehicles, boats, motorcycles, or other toys fighting for parking space?

🧟 Do you have projects waiting to get done because you don’t have anywhere to work on them?

Well, this property might just be the answer to your nightmares! 😂

With multiple garage spaces, an additional workshop/storage building, and an impressive amount of concrete parking, this place offers opportunities that are getting harder to find in town!

But don’t let all that garage space steal the entire show!

🏡 4 bedrooms with room to spread out

🔥 A cozy gas fireplace enjoyed from TWO living spaces — perfect for those chilly fall evenings

🍽️ Spacious kitchen and dining areas ready for holiday gatherings

🧺 Main-floor laundry and mudroom for everyday convenience

🍂 Outdoor space for entertaining, grilling, or simply enjoying the changing seasons

📍 A GREAT LOCATION! Close to Cherokee’s City Park, Aquatic Center, High School, Golf Course, and Community Center!

And here’s a little something extra that isn’t scary at all…

🛡️ THE SELLERS ARE INCLUDING A ONE-YEAR HOME WARRANTY! That’s one more reason to feel good about making this your next home.

💰 ALL OF THIS FOR $239,000!

Now here’s the real question…

WHY HAVEN’T YOU COME TO SEE IT YET? 👀

Maybe you’ve seen this listing pop up a few times. Maybe you’ve driven past it. Maybe you’ve even wondered what all that extra space looks like in person.

Well, here’s your invitation to find out!

We’re getting closer to the season of scraping windshields, shoveling snow, and wishing we had more indoor storage. ❄️

Why not explore your options BEFORE winter arrives?

📍 311 N 11th St | Cherokee, IA

🎃 ONE LAST QUESTION…

If you suddenly had all this extra garage and workshop space, what would you put in it FIRST?

🚗 Classic car?
🚤 Boat?
🏍️ Motorcycles?
🔧 Dream workshop?

🏡💰 WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A 4-BEDROOM HOME THAT ONLY COSTS $55,000?

Seriously… think about the possibilities! 👀

📍 206 W. Second St. | Calumet, IA

We all know housing prices have changed dramatically over the years, but opportunities to purchase a property at this price point still exist. Sometimes you just have to be willing to look beyond the cosmetic appeal and see what something COULD become!

🔥 HERE’S WHAT $55,000 GETS YOU:

🏠 4 bedrooms with room to work with
🛁 1 main-floor bathroom
🧺 Convenient main-floor laundry hookups
🔨 Newer siding already in place
🌳 Located directly across from the city park
💰 An affordable purchase price with potential to build equity!

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. 🐘

This home needs a new roof and furnace, and there are other improvements a buyer may want to tackle. We’re not trying to hide that, and we’re certainly not advertising it as move-in ready.

But here’s the question…

💭 Could you purchase it, make the necessary improvements, and still be into the property for less than what a comparable finished home might cost?

That’s exactly what I want buyers and investors to explore!

✅ Looking for a rental investment? Run the numbers!

✅ Want a renovation project with resale potential? Take a look!

✅ Handy enough to tackle improvements and build some sweat equity? This might be worth considering!

💥 AND HERE’S THE BEST PART… THE SELLER IS MOTIVATED!

We’re not looking for someone to just admire the possibilities. We’re looking for someone ready to make something happen!

💲 ASKING PRICE: $55,000

📣 LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING: If you purchased this home, would you renovate it to resell, turn it into a rental, or fix it up for yourself?

👇 Drop your answer in the comments! I’d love to hear what you’d do with it.

And if you’re seriously interested, let’s schedule a showing, evaluate the work, and see if we can put a deal together!
