If you’re thinking about selling a house in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, the first step is finding a real estate agent. Selecting the right agent is important in order to ensure that you sell your house in a timely fashion for an appropriate price, according to the current market value. I bring expertise and community knowledge of Flower Mound, Highland Village, Lewisville, Corinth, Denton, Grapevine, Southlake, Frisco, Carrollton, Coppell to help you obtain the best price for your home. (I’m also a divorce real estate specialist and can help you navigate selling your house in a divorce situation.)
When meeting with potential clients, I prepare a formal listing presentation for our first meeting. This includes active and sold market comparables for the area, a roadmap of the selling process, pricing information and guidelines, and a marketing plan. We’ll discuss your needs and goals, I’ll take a tour of your home and offer staging suggestions, and together we’ll decide on the timing and price point.
I’m committed to marketing your home in a variety of traditional and non-traditional ways, including open houses, flyers, videos, social media and social media advertising. My goal is to ensure your house is viewed by as many people as possible in order to find the perfect buyer.
Once an offer has been made on your house, I’ll assist and advise with negotiations on the initial contract, repair negotiations during the option period, and I’ll communicate regularly with you, the Title company, and the buyer’s agent to achieve a smooth closing for everyone. And when we get to the closing table, I’ll be there to celebrate with you!
Whether you know you want to sell your house or you’re just curious about your home’s current market value, I’d love to provide you with any information you need. Contact me to set an appointment or reach out via email (randi@repeatre.com)!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Selling a Home in North Texas
1. How do I know what my home is worth in today’s market?
A home’s value is typically determined by a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that looks at recent sales of similar properties nearby. An appraiser can also provide an independent value estimate.
2. When is the best time to sell a house in North Texas?
The market can vary seasonally, but many sellers find spring and early summer strong for activity. That said, timing also depends on interest rates, inventory, and your personal timeline. In the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, we tend to see steady activity most months with a bit of a slowing at the end of summer, the beginning of the school year, and a couple of weeks over Christmas and New Year’s.
3. How long will it take to sell my home?
Homes in the Dallas Fort Worth area can vary in time on market based on price, condition, and demand. Pricing competitively and preparing the home well are key to lower days on market.
4. What repairs or updates should I make before listing?
Minor cosmetic improvements and ensuring major systems are in working order can make a difference in the appeal of a home. In many cases, addressing issues like roof leaks, HVAC concerns, or visible damage before listing can help attract more buyers.
5. What disclosures am I required to provide when selling in Texas?
Texas sellers must provide a Seller’s Disclosure Notice, and if the home was built before 1978, a Lead-Based Paint Disclosure. Disclosures help protect both seller and buyer by outlining known issues.
6. Do I need a real estate agent to sell my home?
No, it’s possible to sell without an agent, but working with a qualified Realtor® can provide market expertise, negotiation support, contract guidance, and a marketing plan designed to help you get the best possible result.
7. What are seller closing costs?
Seller closing costs typically include real estate commissions, title insurance, prorated property taxes, and any agreed-upon repairs or concessions. Your agent can provide an estimate so you know what to expect.
8. How should I prepare my home for showings?
Staging, decluttering, deep cleaning, and securing personal items help your home show well. Enhancing curb appeal and making minor repairs can also make a strong first impression on buyers.
9. What happens after I accept an offer?
Once an offer is accepted, the buyer usually conducts inspections, appraisals, and finalizes financing. Your agent will help coordinate these steps and keep track of deadlines through closing.
10. Can I sell “as is”?
Yes. You can sell your home “as is,” but buyers may request inspections and negotiate price or repairs based on their findings. Discuss your goals with your agent to determine the best strategy for your situation.
