Should I Stay For Showings at my McKinney TX Home For Sale?
Here in McKinney, we're a friendly bunch -- helpful, too.

preparing your home for sale: Do I need to update my house to sell it? - 05/06/11 11:00 PM
Often times people ask me, "Do I need to update my house to sell it?"

It will motivate buyers to move from the shopping stage into the action of making an offer. Homes that are updated and in pristine condition generate excitement from buyers. There is a feeling of urgency to act quickly before anyone else finds this great home. Additionally, it's no surprise that homes that are updated and move-in … (6 comments)

preparing your home for sale: When selling your home....SWEAT the Small Stuff! Collin County, McKinney, Allen, Frisco homes for sale - 01/24/11 11:11 AM
This article by Amy Hahn, a great real estate professional in North Carolina, tells it like it is! Sometimes the importance of having your home "show ready" doesn't register with Sellers.
