🍂🏈 FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, FALL NIGHTS & A HOME MADE FOR MEMORIES 🏡❤️

There’s something special about fall in Holstein. Friday night football, crisp evenings, kids running through the yard, family dinners around the table, and coming home to a place that feels warm and welcoming.

107 S Lena St. in Holstein is the kind of home where those memories can be made for years to come.

And right now, there are TWO big reasons to give this home another look:

🏡 NOW $240,000 — BELOW ASSESSED VALUE!
🔨 BRAND NEW ROOF!

Originally listed at a higher price, the sellers have made a significant adjustment to $240,000, giving buyers an opportunity to own more than 2,100 finished square feet of character-filled living space at a price that is now below the property’s assessed value.

Inside, you’ll find the charm of a classic two-story home paired with the updates families appreciate:

🍁 4 spacious bedrooms
🍁 1.5 bathrooms
🍁 Beautiful custom kitchen with maple cabinetry, concrete countertops & a large island
🍁 Spacious dining area made for family dinners, homework and holiday gatherings
🍁 Main-floor laundry with plenty of storage
🍁 Radiant heated bathroom floors upstairs
🍁 Updated wiring, windows, siding, doors & more
🍁 New HVAC system installed in 2024
🍁 Full walk-up attic with incredible potential for a playroom, office, primary suite or bonus space
🍁 Fully fenced backyard with concrete patio
🍁 Detached 2-car garage with workspace & overhead storage
🍁 And now a BRAND NEW ROOF!

Picture the kids coming home after a Holstein football game, friends gathered around the kitchen island, Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room, Christmas mornings upstairs, backyard cookouts, and cool fall evenings spent together at home.

That’s what makes a house more than square footage and bedrooms.

It becomes part of your family’s story. ❤️

If you’ve been looking for a warm, charming family home in Holstein, the new price and recent improvements make 107 S Lena St. worth another look.

📍 107 S Lena St. | Holstein, Iowa
💰 $240,000 — BELOW ASSESSED VALUE
🛏️ 4 Bedrooms | 1.5 Baths | 2,100+ Finished Sq. Ft.

🍂 Fall is about home, family and traditions. Maybe this is where your family’s next chapter begins. 🏡🏈

🏡 What if your next home gave you more than just a place to live?

At 311 N 11th St in Cherokee, there’s a lot of property packed into one address—and some of the best features aren’t necessarily the ones you notice first.

You get the convenience of living right in town, close to the City Park, Aquatic Center, High School, Golf Course and Community Center… while still having the kind of space that can be surprisingly difficult to find in an in-town property.

And THAT is where this one gets fun. 👇

Have multiple vehicles? 🚗🚙
Need somewhere for the boat, motorcycles, camper or other toys?
Always wanted your own workshop? 🔧
Need storage for a hobby or small business?
Just tired of having everything crammed into one garage?

There are a lot of ways to put the extra garage, workshop and extensive concrete parking at this property to work!

Then there’s the HOME itself.

With 4 bedrooms, multiple living areas, a spacious kitchen and a cozy gas fireplace that can be enjoyed from two rooms, there’s room to gather without everyone being on top of each other.

And with August here, it’s easy to picture what’s ahead…

☀️ Late-summer cookouts outside
🏈 Friends over for football this fall
🍂 Cool evenings around the property
🔥 Heading inside afterward and relaxing by the fireplace

This is the kind of home that offers something in every season.

The sellers are even including a ONE-YEAR HOME WARRANTY to give the next owner some added peace of mind.

💰 Offered at $239,000
📍 311 N 11th St | Cherokee, IA

If you’ve seen this property online before but haven’t toured it, don’t assume you already know what it offers.

Come walk through the house.

Walk around the garages.

Look at the parking and outdoor space.

Then start imagining what YOU could do with all of it.

You might see this property completely differently once you’re standing there. 👀🏡

🏡 DON’T LET THE DAYS ON MARKET FOOL YOU — THIS HOME DESERVES A SECOND LOOK!

Yes, 411 Ash St. in Cherokee has been on the market for a while, but there’s an important part of the story those numbers don’t tell.

👉 This home was SOLD.

We had a buyer, went under contract, and were headed toward closing. Unfortunately, the buyer ultimately lost their financing and was unable to complete the purchase. That brought this exceptionally well-maintained home back onto the market through no fault of the property itself.

And now there’s even better news for the next buyer…

🔥 NEW PRICE: $189,000! 🔥

That means you can now purchase this home for LESS than the price the previous buyer had agreed to pay!

This is a well-cared-for ranch offering:

🏡 3 main-floor bedrooms
🛁 Full bath upstairs + ¾ bath downstairs
🔥 Gas fireplaces on both levels
🛋️ Spacious main-floor living room
🎱 Huge lower-level family/game room
🚗 Oversized 1-car garage
🌳 Large lot with plenty of outdoor space
☕ East-side patio perfect for morning coffee
🛠️ Garden/storage shed

So if you’ve been scrolling past this one because of the days on market, don’t! The home already attracted a buyer once. An unfortunate financing situation simply gave someone else another opportunity — and now at an even better price.

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

Come see the home for yourself and decide whether this second chance might be your opportunity.

🎉🏡 HOLY COW… WE FINALLY CLOSED THIS ONE! 🏡🎉

There are closings that go smoothly from start to finish…and then there are transactions that make you REALLY appreciate finally sitting down at the closing table.

6472 O Ave near Quimby is officially SOLD! 🔑🥳

This property certainly gave us a few stories to tell along the way. We dealt with obstacles, setbacks, a previous deal falling apart right before closing, and plenty of twists and turns before finally getting this one across the finish line.

But we got there! 🙌

First and foremost, a HUGE thank you to my sellers, Curt and Krissy, for sticking with me through this entire process. You guys stayed patient, handled everything that was thrown your way, and trusted me to keep working until we found a way to get it done. I truly appreciate the opportunity to represent you!

Congratulations as well to the new owners! I hope they enjoy everything this great acreage has to offer for many years to come. 🏡🌳

A big thank you to Kylee Lukes with Riverstone Realty for working alongside us and representing the buyers. Transactions like this take cooperation from both sides, and I appreciate everyone continuing to work toward the same goal. 🤝

And another BIG thank you to Katie, Colleen, and the entire staff at KC Title & Closing. There was plenty to work through on this one, and I appreciate all the phone calls, emails, paperwork, problem-solving, and effort that went into getting us to closing.

Real estate isn’t always about putting up a sign, finding a buyer, and collecting signatures. Sometimes it’s about staying persistent when things don’t go according to plan, solving one problem at a time, and refusing to give up on getting your clients where they want to go.

This one feels GOOD. ❤️

Congratulations Curt & Krissy — WE FINALLY GOT IT DONE! 🎉🍾🏡

If you’re thinking about buying or selling and want someone willing to stick with you when the road gets a little bumpy, I’d love the opportunity to help.

🏡 SOLD — 302 N. Maple St., Marcus! 🔑🎉

Not every real estate transaction takes a perfectly straight road to the closing table—and this one certainly reminded us of that!

We ran into some last-minute difficulties, but with patience, communication, and trust in the process, everyone worked together and we got this one across the finish line! 🙌

First and foremost, a sincere THANK YOU to my seller, Melony Jackson, for trusting me to represent you and help guide you through this process. When challenges pop up near the end of a transaction, that trust between a seller and their agent becomes incredibly important. I truly appreciate the opportunity to work for you!

A big thank you as well to Laura Letsche with Farmers State Bank Realty for bringing a ready, willing, and able buyer to the table and working together to make this transaction happen. 🤝

And a HUGE shoutout to Katie, Colleen, and the entire staff at KC Title and Closing! You guys do an incredible amount of work behind the scenes to keep transactions moving, solve problems, and get everyone to the closing table. Your hard work on this one was especially appreciated! 👏

Real estate isn’t always about putting up a sign, accepting an offer, and collecting the keys a few weeks later. Sometimes things get complicated. That’s when experience, patience, good communication, and having the right people involved really matter.

Congratulations to Melony and to the new owners of 302 N. Maple St.! 🏡🔑

Another one SOLD in Marcus!

If you’re considering selling, I’d love the opportunity to put my experience to work for you—from the day we list it until the day we get it CLOSED.

🏡 WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS HOME YOURS?

That’s the conversation the sellers at 401 Centennial Dr. in Cherokee are ready to have.

They’re motivated, they’re ready to sell, and they’re willing to talk with serious potential buyers. So if you’ve been watching this property but haven’t scheduled a showing because you’re wondering about the price, the layout, a particular feature—or whether there might be a deal to be made—don’t assume. Ask me.

Now offered at $375,000, this is a home you really need to experience in person.

🌅 The view from the back deck is something special. Imagine your morning coffee out there as the sun comes up, or a cool fall evening relaxing and taking in the scenery.

🏡 The design is anything but ordinary. Vaulted ceilings, warm wood finishes, multiple living areas, a gas fireplace and a wood-burning stove give this home a personality you simply don’t find in every house.

🚿 And here’s one of its most unusual features: all three sleeping spaces have their own bathroom! Two are conforming bedrooms, while the additional basement sleeping space is non-conforming because it does not have an egress window.

There are also newer siding and windows, oversized garage doors, a sprinkler system, beautiful outdoor spaces and plenty more to discover.

But here’s the biggest message I want people to hear:

THE SELLERS WANT TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS.

Have questions? Ask them.
Interested but unsure about something? Let’s talk.
Want to know if this house feels different in person? Schedule the showing.

You can’t find out whether there’s an opportunity here without starting the conversation.

📍 401 Centennial Dr. | Cherokee, IA
💰 $375,000

👇 Comment “INFO,” send me a message, or call/text me at 712-261-1965 and let’s talk about it.

🏡 HUGE PRICE ADJUSTMENT — AND THIS ONE DESERVES ANOTHER LOOK! 💥

The sellers at 1200 Iowa Street in Cherokee have made it VERY clear:

THEY ARE READY TO GET THIS HOME SOLD.

A major price adjustment has now brought this incredible executive-style ranch down to LESS THAN $95 PER FINISHED SQUARE FOOT!

And when you start looking at everything included with this property, that number deserves some attention.

We’re talking about 5,500+ square feet of finished living space sitting on over 1.5 acres — IN TOWN! Add in the quality, setting, layout and amenities, and you have a property that would be extremely difficult to duplicate anywhere near this price.

✨ 5 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms
🔥 3 fireplaces
🍽️ Beautiful custom kitchen
🏡 Executive-style ranch design
🎬 Massive finished walkout lower level
🚗 Oversized garage with room for 3 vehicles
🌳 1.57-acre in-town setting
🦌 Mature trees, wildlife & backyard water feature
🥳 An incredible amount of space for entertaining, holidays, game days and family gatherings

I understand that when you first see the total price, you might think, “That’s a lot of money for a home in Cherokee.”

But here’s what I’m asking you to do:

DON’T JUST LOOK AT THE PRICE — LOOK AT WHAT THE PRICE BUYS YOU.

Get inside this home. Walk through more than 5,500 finished square feet. See the custom kitchen. Walk through the lower level. Step into the backyard. Look at the acreage. Then start comparing what it would cost to build or replace something with this much space and these features.

There is simply A LOT of home and quality here for the money.

And most importantly, these sellers are motivated. They have made the price adjustment to prove it, and they are ready to work with someone who wants to make this property their own. 🤝
