Today I am Celebrating 10 years in Real Estate. I knew as a child I wanted to sell real estate one day and it was a journey getting here, but I achieved my life long dream. I have been successful at many other things in my sales career, especially in the commercial landscape industry, but my always passion is Real Estate. However, if all I got out of this was money, then it would not be very rewarding nor fulfilling. The reward is seeing folks get excited to move and helping them find the home they love. Or in other words, to do what I was trained to do and see it through. As an agent, I dont go away once we close your home, in fact in my opinion, that is when I begin selling myself as your agent. I'm not looking for the next sale, but for the next "relationship".

I have sold homes in 18 different cities in and around DFW. become a top producing agent and ranked #28 last year out of approximately 1250 agents. # 2 in my own office of 60 agents and in the top 10% of all DFW agents. All I wanted to do when I got licensed, was to buy my freedom and not worry about the money. God has been so good to me and I appreciate all of those who have trusted me with this most important decision in your life. I have been fortunate enough to guide people to the DFW area from all over the country and from about 10 different states. 10 years ago I never would have dreamed it! Thank you clients for your trust in me, and I always have room for he next. The road to Success in my life is not lived on the highway, but on the "service road". I covet your referrals.

Thank you my darling wife Tina for being there from day one and believing I could succeed.

The Biggest Mistakes Sellers Are Making Right Now

The housing market is going through a transition. Higher mortgage rates are causing more moderate buyer activity at the same time the supply of homes for sale is growing.

And if you aren’t working with an agent, you may not realize that. Here’s the downside. If you’re not informed, you can’t adjust your strategy or expectations to today’s market. And that can lead to a number of costly mistakes.

Here’s a look at some of the most common ones – and how an agent will help you avoid them when you sell.

1. Overpricing Your House
Many sellers set their asking price too high and that’s why there’s an uptick in homes with price reductions today. An unrealistic price will deter potential buyers, cause an appraisal issue, or lead to your house sitting on the market longer. An article from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) explains:

“Some sellers are pricing their homes higher than ever just because they can, but this may drive away serious buyers and result in unapproved appraisals . . .”

To avoid falling into this trap, partner with a pro. An agent uses recent sales of similar homes, the condition of your house, local market trends, and so much more to find the price that’ll attract more buyers and open the door for multiple offers and a faster sale.

2. Skipping the Small Stuff
You may try to skip important repairs, thinking you can pass the task on to your buyer. But visible issues (even if they’re small) can turn off potential buyers and result in lower offers or demands for concessions. As Money Talks News says:

“Home shoppers like to turn on lights, flush toilets and run the water. If these basic things don’t work, they may assume you’ve skipped other maintenance. Homes that appear neglected aren’t likely to fetch top price.”

If you want to get your house ready to sell, the best place to turn to for advice is your agent. They’ll be able to do a walk-through with you and point out anything you’ll need to tackle before the photographer comes in.

3. Not Looking at Things Objectively
Buyers today are feeling the pinch of high home prices and mortgage rates. With affordability that tight, they may come in with an offer that’s lower than you’d want to see – especially if you didn’t stage, price, or market the house well.

It’s important you don’t take this personally. Getting overly emotional can put the sale at risk. As an article from Ramsey Solutions says:

“Remember, a buyer’s offer is not a reflection of their opinion of your home or your housekeeping abilities. . . The sale of your home is strictly a business transaction. If they start out with a low offer, don’t take it personally and get emotional. Instead, channel that energy toward negotiating. Work with your agent and make a counteroffer.”

4. Being Unwilling To Negotiate
The supply of homes for sale has grown. That means buyers have more options, and with that comes more negotiation power. As a seller, you may see more buyers getting an inspection, requesting repairs, or asking for help with closing costs today. You need to be prepared to have those conversations. As U.S. News Real Estate explains:

“If you’ve received an offer for your house that isn’t quite what you’d hoped it would be, expect to negotiate . . . the only way to come to a successful deal is to make sure the buyer also feels like he or she benefits . . . consider offering to cover some of the buyer’s closing costs or agree to a credit for a minor repair the inspector found.”

An agent will walk you through what levers you may want to pull based on your own goals, budget, and timeframe.

5. Not Using a Real Estate Agent
Notice anything? For each of these mistakes, partnering with an agent helps prevent them from happening in the first place. That makes trying to sell your house without an agent’s help the biggest mistake of all.

Real estate agents have experience and expertise in pricing, marketing, negotiating, and more. That knowledge streamlines the selling process and usually results in drumming up more interest and ultimately can get you a higher final price.

Bottom Line
If you want to avoid making mistakes like these, you need to work with a real estate agent.

Happy ! Make it a great week! .

Thank you. Staying busy. What can I do today, to help you?

Today we will finish the grey green paint. The swiss cream trim is don including the carports which are attached to the house. You can see the new porch lights and how nice they look against the cream. Should be finished all the paint and touch ups by Thursday. Still waiting on the new windows. Hoping to take down the Crape myrtles and put in a couple little gem Magnolias or something else. The bermuda is making a comeback after I Killed thousands of weeds. Hopefully the cedar shutters go on in the next day or two

Finishing the Cream color tomorrow and this historic gray. We are pleased with the contrasting colors and hope to finish the brick tomorrow as they work their way around the back for the rest of the cream. Taking shape.

Still more to do and these pics look dark but one unit needed new flooring so we picked this grey/wood color. Will be finished tomorrow. The MB back walls are called Carbon Copy...not as dark as shown here but same color also behind the fireplace. Cabinets still to get painted and all new windows hopefully in about three weeks. New lighting in many areas.

You can see the primer on the brick and the Swiss Coffee Cream color has already been started. We should get some of the brick painted tomorrow. On the right side, the old dirt and weeds were tilled and removed by my landscaper and replaced with river rock. It will all come together in a few days. New Cedar exterior shutters already made and will be hung after paint. Stay tuned. I love doing this stuff.

I love this simple post about why it is important to price your home right. Your agent does their homework and will guide you according to what the market...the buyer pool is doing. We all think our homes are worth more than they may be... TO THE MARKETPLACE!

When your home isn't selling or getting offers, it's usually because it's over priced for that area or market. Or, there are other reasons folks aren't buying. The condition of your home, the cleanliness, the curb appeal, the actual neighborhood or nearby amenities and conveniences. All of these things matter to buyers.

I am a great resource to help you get your home market ready. If may involve helping with curb appeal, cleaning the windows, getting rid of all of your needless clutter, or subtracting some of your crowded furnishings. You have to pack to move any way right? So I will help you get it staged and ready. School is out...people are looking now and moving but the time window is short. Contact me today and lets get started. Let's catch that next wave of buyers. Ron Brown 214-717-7959 [email protected]
