From Kim's Ledger
Steam, Plunge, Repeat: The Wet Room Comes Home
Steam, Plunge, Repeat: The Wet Room Comes Home The primary bath has stopped pretending to be a bathroom. The shower has consumed the tub, then the surrounding floor, then most of the room, until what remains is a single tiled volume with a bench, a steam head, and a drain: the wet room, borrowed from […]
Built Like the Indoor Kitchen: The New Outdoor Room
Built Like the Indoor Kitchen: The New Outdoor Room The outdoor kitchen that fails usually fails in its second winter. A tile counter spalls at the edge where water wicked in and froze. A cabinet door warps off its hinge. A gas line that was never valved properly gets capped and forgotten. The grill itself, […]
The Scullery Moment: Why the Back Kitchen Is Redefining the Floor Plan
The Scullery Moment: Why the Back Kitchen Is Redefining the Floor Plan The most hardworking room in the new custom home is the one guests will never see. It sits behind the show kitchen, usually through a swinging door or a wide pocket opening, and it holds everything that makes a real kitchen function: the […]
Slab by Slab: How Custom Builders Source Stone Now
Slab by Slab: How Custom Builders Source Stone Now The slab yard opens early, and the serious parties arrive with coffee. Commercial fluorescent light is the enemy of stone, so designers carry flashlights and phones with daylight-balanced settings, wetting edges to preview the stone’s true color under seal. A granite that glows in daylight can […]

What Buyers Cannot See: The Case for Over-Building the Walls The most consequential decisions in a custom home are the ones a touring buyer will never see.

The Sauna Renaissance: Nordic Heat Comes Home to the Upper Midwest There is a Finnish saying that in the sauna one should conduct oneself as in a church.

Luxury Home Selling Questions
Below are some common questions clients have before and during the luxury home selling process. If you have more questions, Kim will be happy to answer them.
Pricing a luxury home requires a comparative market analysis focused on recent high-end sales in your specific neighborhood, adjusted for finish quality, lot size, and unique features. Kim's builder background lets him evaluate construction quality and improvements so the price reflects the true value of what a buyer is getting.
Luxury homes in Sioux Falls generally take longer to sell than entry-level properties because the buyer pool is smaller and more selective. A well-priced, well-marketed luxury home typically moves faster, while overpriced or under-prepared homes can sit for several months.
Luxury marketing goes beyond the MLS: professional photography, drone video, staging, targeted digital campaigns, and placement through the Distinctive Collection and national BHGRE network. Kim's strategy is tailored to reach qualified, high-net-worth buyers locally and out of state.
The highest-return improvements for a luxury sale are often finish-level upgrades: refreshed kitchens and primary baths, updated flooring, refined landscaping, and addressing any deferred maintenance. Because Kim is a builder, he can advise on which improvements will actually move the sale price versus which are sunk cost.
This depends on your timeline, financing, and whether you can carry two properties. Kim can walk you through both paths because he has lived it: he has built custom homes and sold his own build, so he understands the financial and logistical tradeoffs of each option.
Acreage properties appeal to a narrower buyer pool and require marketing that highlights land value, outbuildings, privacy, and development potential. Kim lists acreage and country properties through the Distinctive Collection and knows how to position them for buyers seeking space and exclusivity.
The most accurate answer comes from a custom market evaluation that looks at recent comparable luxury sales, your home's construction quality, and current market conditions. Request a market analysis through the site and Kim will provide a property-specific valuation.
