There are four deadly sins that block offers and the good news is that sellers can avoid their wrath and get their home sold! Cleanliness and Odors There almost nothing worse than walking into a showing only to find the home is a mess, there are some really strong odors, or both. I love to cook but not everybody appreciates the smell of caramelized onions in balsamic vinegar or the smell of the cat’s litter box! Part of selling a home is to create emotion. Taking the time or spending a few hundred dollars to have the home deep cleaned is money well spent. Clutter and Too Much Furniture Many of us simply outgrow our homes and we are looking to sell in order to purchase a larger home. When your home is cluttered or has way too much furniture it makes the home look small and dark. Both of these turn off buyers and block offers. Want to know how it is supposed to look? Visit some new home builders model homes and try to do it yourself. Our best advice is to hire a stager. We think it’s so important that we pay for two hours of consultation with one of the best stagers in the area for our listing clients. Deferred Maintenance While you may have tolerated that dripping faucet for the past four years, it really sends the wrong message to potential buyers. While most people understand that a home has been lived in, lots of deferred maintenance will have them running for the door. Take some time to lubricate squeaking doors, replace the flapper valves on the running toilet, and repair that dripping faucet. Many of these tasks can be completed by the sellers or a local handyman. Grossly Overpriced If you do not feel like dealing with the first three sins, you can make up for it here by correctly pricing the home. Want top dollar? You need to have the home properly prepared, staged, and show-ready. If you don’t want to do these things, you can always reduce the price to offset. There you go. As sellers you always have a choice. Our advice: avoid the four deadly sins and get your home sold quickly and for top-dollar Want to work with a Dallas Real Estate team named as Residential Top Producers by D Magazine?

Properly prepared homes that are professionally marketed and priced right are flying off the market in days. We were out working with a first-time home buyer yesterday and we found two homes they liked. One had been on the market for three days and had five offers, the other had been on the market for one day and had three offers. Our clients made an offer above list price and their offer was not the accepted offer! What does this mean for North Texas homeowners? This may be the perfect time to sell your home. Many of our sellers are “waiting until the Spring Sales Season” to go on the market but now may be a far better time. Low inventory and high demand create the perfect storm for home sellers. This is the opportunity to get a far better price in far less time than any time in the past five years. Homes for sale still need to be properly prepared, professionally marketed, and priced right. Get all of this right and pack your bags! Thinking about selling? This is one of the best times in years. Want to know your home’s value? Click here to get a free market analysis.

We do this for a number of reasons: to make sure any agreed to repairs have been completed, to see that the home is in the same condition as it was when the contract was executed (normal wear and tear is acceptable), and to make sure that items that were supposed to remain in the home are still there. The items that seem to come up missing most often are the curtains and draperies. When this happens it’s not usually a case of the sellers being dishonest, it’s that they were not made aware that the curtains and drapes are considered Accessories in the TREC Promulgated Contract and supposed to remain in the home. If a seller wants to retain them, they should be listed as excluded items in the contract. We hate walking into a home for that final walk-through and hearing the buyers say, “What happened to the draperies?” These last-minute surprises can be avoided with a clearer understanding of what’s in the contract.

With a beautiful selection of home options by Highland Homes, beautifully landscaped common areas, and resort-style amenities including community pool with kid’s spray park and pavilion, playground and athletic fields, Lakes of Prosper truly is Life at its best. New homes begin in the low $330s .
It’s been a crazy early spring sales season in North Texas so far. Inventories are at near record lows and buyers are pouncing on almost every new listing. Many sellers are enjoying multiple offers in a matter of days. That said, there are listings that just will not sell leaving those sellers looking for answers.
We often talk about the drought and subsequent watering restrictions in North Dallas. While many of nature’s problems are caused by a lack of rainfall and Zebra Mussels, the drought being faced by North Texas homebuyers is caused by a deep lack of homes for sale.
When we’re working with buyers, we always do a final walk-through of the home just prior to closing.
