To close a sale successfully, you must ensure your home is buyer-ready while preparing for your own move. Still, there’s a lot to account for, and it can be easy to lose sight of everything while moving logistics! Therefore, review the most important things you must include in your prep strategy.Start with declutteringDecluttering is the only way to strip away the aspects of your home that buyers might find unappealing. That’s because clutter detracts from the ‘feel’ of a home and makes it difficult for buyers to grow attached.

Now that the weather is turning around in Texas, you might be thinking about starting the home search process. Once you’re viewing homes in person, you may be tempted to fall into the trap that ensnares many buyers: letting relatively small flaws or easy fixes influence your decision about a home. Vetoing homes because of patchy yards or outdated fixtures can lead to months of frustrated searching and a shorter and shorter list of potential properties. Remember, we are presently in a seller’s market in many of our communities in and around the city. Those few homes that appear to be in perfect condition will most likely have buyers competing with multiple offers.  It’s typical to encounter properties with minor cosmetic issues—these shouldn’t be confused with major issues such as a crac...

The median price for homes was up 8.3 percent from last year at a price of $195,000. The number of closed sales in February was 984, which was a 3.0 percent increase from the previous year. Days on the market was 56 days on an average, and the months of inventory was down to 2.9 months.  Consequently, it’s still very much a seller’s market for the most part in and around the city.

Yes, It's Spring Time, and it's Time to Party! It’s Fiesta Time in San Antonio again. The biggest party in South Texas. Fiesta San Antonio officially starts April 18, 2019, and ends April 28, 2019.  There are over 100 different events planned by different non-profit organizations. Springtime in San Antonio means it's time for parades, parties, entertainment,  and so much more when you check the schedule for over 100 events. The Texas Cavaliers Night River Parade has become very popular and is certainly one of the largest parades on the river in the country. Of course, the Battle of Flowers Parade, the granddaddy of them all, is on Friday afternoons, and is one my favorites.
