We talk a lot about staging a home in today’s Real Estate market. Believe me, I think staging is a BIG part of success in selling a home at a higher price with a quicker turn around.
One step that is equally important is packing. Packing should be the first step in getting your home ready to sell. One of the things I tell my seller’s is take it room by room and closet by closet. Take a deep breath and ask yourself if you can live without the items for the next couple of months. If the answer is yes, pack it up!! Buyers need to be able to see the size of the room and closets. Packing before staging will make the stage process a breeze.

Whoooeeeeee! It's been a long time. 18+ years as a Realtor, and I've loved it... well most of the time. There have been some bumps along the way, but so many great people, many who have become my good friends whom I have sold homes to multiple times and now selling homes to their kids and other family members. Most of my Real Estate business is done right here in Pearland and the surrounding cities like Friendswood, Alvin, Manvel, Rosharon and Alvin.
I have been married to my hubby Stephen McFarland for almost 25 years! After all these years he is still my best friend and very favorite HUSBAND! Stephen and I both grew up here in Pearland and both of our families still live here so it was the perfect place to raise our family. We have four kids Candace, Blake, Travis and Jayden. Candace is a 1st grade school teacher, Blake is in the Army in Fort Stewart Georgia, Travis works and goes to college. Jayden our youngest (by many years) is in fourth grade. We also have a granddaughter Kylee that is wild and crazy and the love of our life.

I just closed on my beautiful home yesterday and I couldn't have done it without Maggie. We had tried with another realtor previously and could not get through some difficult financial issues so we gave up on getting a home and lost $2000. I called Maggie about renting a house and that is when we discussed what had happened previously with buying. She said that the financial issue we described should have not been a problem. She got in touch with the Loan Officer I use and they got us in our beautiful home. Only sad about one thing, I am really gonna miss Maggie, since she stays in contact with her clients all along the way, I got use to talking to her. I consider Maggie a good friend and the best realtor around. ~ Kay Vickery
Maggie is an excellent realtor. Very straight forward, honest, wonderful to work with. She is a no pressure realtor, and absolutely has your best interests at heart. We purchased a home Maggie had listed, did not even bother to get our own realtor, as Maggie was very professional for both the seller and my husband and I as the buyers. Thanks to Maggie's efficiency and attentiveness, along with our mortgage broker, Christine, at First South, we were able to go from offer to closing in 21 days. VERY VERY professional, and we will definately recommend Maggie to anyone! ~ Jessica McCormick
