From Eyesore to Asset: How We Turn Around Wichita’s Most Neglected Homes

Every city has them—abandoned homes with boarded windows, overgrown yards, and crumbling foundations. At Harmony Home Buyer, we don’t see those houses as problems. We see them as potential.

Our mission is simple: turn Wichita’s worst eyesores into beautiful, livable homes that uplift entire neighborhoods. We believe a single renovation—done the right way—can spark a ripple effect of pride, safety, and community transformation.

Here’s how we do it.


The Hidden Cost of Neglect

More Than Just an Ugly House

A neglected home isn’t just a visual nuisance. It affects everyone on the block:

  • Decreases neighboring property values
  • Attracts vandalism, squatters, and crime
  • Strains city resources through code violations and complaints
  • Discourages homeowner investment nearby

These properties can sit untouched for years. Some are inherited by out-of-town heirs. Others are abandoned after financial hardship. Most are just waiting for the right buyer with the vision and resources to bring them back to life.

That’s where we come in.


The Harmony Home Buyer Turnaround Process

We follow a proven approach that prioritizes people and the neighborhood—not just profit.

1. Strategic Acquisition

We target properties that:

  • Have become a safety issue or neighborhood concern
  • Are stuck in probate or inherited with no clear path forward
  • Need more work than traditional buyers can afford or imagine
  • Are dragging down an otherwise vibrant block

We don’t shy away from major problems. In fact, we specialize in them.

2. Respectful Renovation

Once acquired, our renovation team swings into action—with community impact top of mind:

  • Preserve charm and architectural integrity
  • Use durable, long-lasting materials
  • Upgrade systems (plumbing, electric, HVAC) to modern standards
  • Enhance curb appeal without gentrifying out the neighborhood
  • Prioritize energy efficiency and safety

We don’t “slap on paint and list it.” We rebuild these homes with care, quality, and purpose.

3. Responsible Re-Sale

We aim to sell these homes to:

  • Owner-occupants who will live and invest in the community
  • First-time buyers looking for a safe, move-in ready home
  • Families who want to grow roots in Wichita’s neighborhoods

By avoiding short-term rentals or absentee landlords, we ensure the block improves—permanently.


Before & After: A Real Wichita Story

South Wichita | Waco Avenue Transformation

Last year, we bought a house at 1433 S. Waco Ave. It had been vacant for over 4 years, with collapsing floors, black mold, broken windows, and a raccoon problem.

Before:

  • Complaints from neighbors for years
  • Tagged as a safety hazard by city code enforcement
  • Estimated value: $12,000—only because of the land

Our Work:

  • Full gut and rebuild: electrical, plumbing, roof, flooring
  • Lead and asbestos removal
  • Custom kitchen, energy-efficient windows, and new HVAC
  • Re-landscaped yard and new driveway

After:

  • Sold to a young Wichita couple with two children
  • Final sale price: $139,000
  • Neighbors’ homes increased 8–12% in value within one year
  • Crime complaints on the block dropped by over 40%

The best part? The neighbors who once called it “that disaster on Waco” now call it the nicest house on the street.


Why This Work Matters

The Ripple Effect of One Renovation

When we turn around a problem property, the benefits go far beyond the sale:

Neighbor morale improves
Other homeowners start fixing up their own homes
Pride returns to the block
Local contractors and workers get paid fairly
Families get safe, beautiful places to live

This is real investing—with real results.


We’re Not Done Yet

More Neighborhoods, More Impact

We’ve repeated this process across Wichita—College Hill, Delano, McAdams, Riverside—and we’re just getting started.

We’re actively looking for more neglected homes to transform. If you’ve inherited a burdensome property, own a vacant rental, or just want to pass your home to someone who will truly care—let’s talk.
