Dallas Real Estate- Garage Sale before Moving

Is there too much clutter in your home? It can be a shock to see all the stuff most of us have accumulated through the years.

One of the best ways to clear out clutter is to have a garage sale. Here are some tips to making your garage sale effective:

* Advertise your sale on Craigslist. Make sure to include your address and what days and times the sale will take place. You might want to try to newspaper too, but Craigslist is FREE!
* Place directional signs at nearby key intersections.
* Place smaller items on tables.
* Be prepared in case of inclement weather.
* Put price tags on everything, but be flexible and ready to negotiate.
* Be prepared for early arrivals. Decide whether you want to allow early birds or if you will begin only at the specified time.
* Start with an adequate amount of change and small bills on hand. Decide whether you will accept checks.
* Have plenty of help--it's more fun that way!

Try to look at your home through a prospective buyer's eyes. Lack of clutter will help your home show better, and it will ease your move to a new place. And even if you are staying put, getting rid of clutter will allow you to enjoy your home more comfortably.

Dallas Real Estate- Minimize Stress in Moving

For most people, moving to a new residence is a stressful event. Here are some things you can do to minimize tension and worry when you sell your home:

* Choose a real estate agent (REALTOR®) who communicates clearly and frequently, keeping you up to speed on every step of the process.

* Price your home accurately for market conditions. Homes that sell quickly leave their sellers wondering if they set the price too low, while sellers whose homes sit on the market unsold wonder if they'll ever find a buyer.

* Decide whether you want to move yourself or have professional movers handle the job. If you hire a moving company, make sure to book well in advance.

* Think about cleaning services. After everything is packed and moved is a great time to have someone come in and clean.

* Arrange at least two weeks in advance to have utilities and phone service disconnected at your old house and reconnected in your new home on the move-in date.

Dallas Real Estate- Moving Day

Most buyers and sellers consider moving day a real hassle. Here are some things you can do to make it more manageable:

* Cut back on your possessions as you pack. Make separate areas for items to be discarded, sold, or donated to charity.
* Label all boxes and color-code them by room, whether you pack yourself or have help. Otherwise, you'll never remember what's in each box.
* Have the outside door locks on your new home changed and the garage door opener reprogrammed.
* Get referrals from your doctors, dentists, and veterinarians for new providers near your new home. Take your files with you instead of waiting for them to be sent.
* Pack a “first night” box that contains everything you'll need for the first night in your new home. Include bedding, cookware, utensils, toiletries, and anything else you can't do without before you are unpacked.

If you'd like additional tips or suggestions, please don't hesitate to call or email me. Remember, I work all of North Dallas County and Collin County including Richardson, Plano, Allen, Frisco, Carrollton, Garland, Rowlett, McKinney, etc... my car will take us anywhere you need to go!!

Dallas Real Estate- Showing Your House

I have found from experience that the activity during the first two weeks a home is on the market tends to predict how long it will take to sell. Potential buyers eagerly jump on new homes on the market.

I am an ASP, Accredited Staging Professional. This means that I've taken the classes to become certified in better helping my sellers STAGE® their homes in order to help them sell faster and for higher dollar.

Here are some “STAGING®” tips you might find helpful:

* Keep your home in “show shape.” Make sure that beds are made, dishes are in the dishwasher or put away, everything is picked up, and the kitchen and bathrooms sparkle. Let your counter space show, so put things away.

* Decorate with fresh flowers. Many home sellers use potted flowering plants that last much longer than cut flowers. Place them inside and out. They really add cheer!

* Turn on lights; replace all burned-out bulbs. Open blinds and draperies. Let the natural light in.

* Confine pets and keep them out of sight when possible. They can be distracting, and some people have allergies.

* Create a relaxed atmosphere with soft background music. Do not think the music in the family room needs to be heard in the back of the house if you don't have speakers in the various rooms. Loud music is distracting.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to call or email me.

Dallas Real Estate- My Personal Message

Recently, I was in Chicago for a video shoot for a company. At the end of the interview, they allowed me to make a personal commercial. I had to quickly think of something to say that didn't sound stupid or scripted. It took me a couple of minutes, but then I remembered my Mission Statement that I have on my website and my Blog profile, and then it was easy. I've been using the same statement for almost 7 years now, so I had it down pretty well.

My Trip to Chicago and Snow

Here are a couple of pictures of my recent visit to Chicago. I had never been to Chicago before and I was excited to be there. I wish I was able to be there longer to actually see some sites. We did drive down Michigan Ave for the Magnificent Mile, but didn't get to stop anywhere. We had dinner at the Navy Pier, then back to the hotel and then the airport the next day. My flight got canceled, but I did manage to hop another flight.



Maybe I shouldn't have tried so hard so I could have stayed one more night... oh well, there'll be another time!
