Thinking Of Selling Your Dallas/Ft. Worth Home?

Thinking Of Selling Your Dallas/Ft. Worth Home?

If you are thinking about selling your home and don't know where to start then I can help. I work in the DFW Metroplex. Colleyville, Coppell, Westlake, Trophy Club, Southlake, Flower Mound, Carrollton, Grapevine, Lewisville, Argyle, Bartonville, Denton and Irving are all centrally located here in North Texas. Here are a few very important steps to get your home ready to sell!

Some Simple Steps To Success!

In this challenging market, you must present your property with it's best foot forward, out shine the competition and be ready to MOVE! So before we put out that FOR SALE SIGN, take time to follow these simple steps for success so you can have a SOLD SIGN UP QUICKLY!

Buyers are comparison shoppers. Whether it's a house, a car or a pair of shoes we want the most for our money! I tell all of my sellers that "It's a price war and beauty contest". It's important to get your home "show ready". Most of our homes are not show ready.


This Is The "D" List Method-Declutter

You are now in "Selling Mode". Go around your home and pack up knick knacks, collections and those stacks of magazines! Your going to be moving, so get a headstart on that. Donate, have a yard sale, whatever your choice! Go thru the closets and clean them out. We want the potential buyers to see what great ROOM you have and not get hit on the head when they open an overstuffed closet. If you have excess furniture, consider getting a POD, or storage unit. We want the rooms to look as spacious and open as possible! Be sure and clean off those kitchen counters and take the collection of magnets off the refrigerator door. Expand these tips to every room in your home.


De-Personalize Your Home!

Yes I know, I have family portraits but I am NOT SELLING MY HOUSE. The concept is to allow the buyer to picture themselves living in their new home, not your home with your family, no matter how nice you are! When a home has personal photos and portraits, it just doesn't feel like it could be their home to the buyers and that is not going to get your home sold. Same concept with specialized collections. I have shown many homes where the buyers are looking at the owner's pictures and possessions more than they are the house. Then that house just never makes the "A" List as it has not made the most favorable impression on them. I see it all the time and wonder why the owner's agent didn't tell them to go ahead and pack them up, you're moving anyway! Believe me it does matter.

De-Colorize (or Let's Get Neutral)

I love color, but I love the colors I love, not the ones someone else loves! Does that make sense to you? Just because Purple is your choice, it might not be a potential buyer's choice. I know, they could paint, BUT.... why not take that out of the equation for them. If you have a strong color palette, a coat of neutral paint could get you a better offer and alot quicker. Same with extreme decor in any room. Neutral is far better! This is definitely an easy and cheap fix.

So you see these are quick and easy, but can make a HUGE difference in the way your home is perceived by a potential buyer.
