Home > Home Selling > Extreme Circumstances Deserve Extreme Measures

Most of the places in the country are facing a Buyer's market. It's true here in the Frisco TX Homes for sale also. There are just more Frisco TX homes than there are Frisco TX home buyers out there now. As a result, the prices are typically lower. With the splashing news of subprime lenders going out of business, it makes buyers harder to qualify for loans. There are still 100% loans out there but the availability has significantly dropped. The adjustable rate mortgages were at one point "easier" to qualify because of the "lower" debt to income ratios are also adjusting "up". In short, the pool of available clients have definitely impacted Sellers of residential real estate.

Thus, it become even more crucial to work with a local Frisco TX real estate expert who knows the market and knows how to move your property. Despite the current market conditions, there are still buyers out there.

Home Improvement shows such as Designed to Sell and Get It Sold are some examples of what a real estate expert may require you to do to sell in today's market. Some episodes require homeowners to go through extreme measures to update their properties. Moving walls, remodeling the entire kitchen and alot of elbow grease. These are some methods Sellers employ in order to achieve their goal: Move on. On the other hand, these shows did not portray the entire true picture of the real work that goes into the process. They get it done for very little money (some as low as $2000). Realistically, unless you have the time to find pennies on the dollar resources, it is very hard to achieve $2000 worth of work in the amount of "stuff" they do. But the concept holds true. Staging works.

Ask my real-life clients: The Milners. They worked tirelessly for two-full months to put their house on the market based on my recommendations. They are very capable homeowners who could tile, paint and tear down arbor on their own. They definitely put their fair share of sweat equity. No doubt, the projects took them a little longer to complete than anticipated but in the end, they made their house the best in its price range and condition. I listed their house on Friday evening at 9pm and received an offer the very next day at 4:30pm (to the 1st family that viewed it).

Update: Guess where are the Milners now? Well, they are off to the next phase in their lives: help plant a church in a different state - with no house (or house payment) to sell in their minds.

In the Milners very own words:
"Loreena, you were so helpful in your advice on how to prepare and stage our home. We never dreamed it would sell the first weekend! You under-promised and over-delivered! You did your research, you made solid recommendations, you were thorough and well-prepared. You did what you said you would do and then went beyond - How can we thank you enough! You're wonderful!"

So, guess what? STAGING WORKS!!!!

A can a paint $22, Tiles in kitchen floor $500, Peace of Mind: Priceless.

Another proud story of extreme circumstances that deserve extreme measures.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Read about what our satisfied clients have to say:

When she arrived for our appointment, we went through the normal preliminary procedures and all was fine. Then she surprised us. She had already done most of the work and only needed to take a few pictures of the inside and determine the price that we would be comfortable asking. She also spent a great deal of time explaining to us how the whole sales process work and what we could expect.

Eric & Tomoko Quere, Plano TX

Ultimately, Loreena introduced us to the house we bought--it was not one we found from our own hours of searching web listings--based on the the comments we had made while we visited these different homes. This is a testimony to her ability to listen well and to work proactively on our behalf.

Jenn & Glen Miller, Denton TX

We were completely impressed with Loreena. She helped us find and buy a home in Frisco. We have very high expectations from a realtor and she surpassed them. Knows her market extremely well, not just the technical market pricing data, but the nuances of all the neighborhoods as well. One of the most responsive and professional persons I've met in my entire business career.

Ruth & Jerry Meek, Frisco TX

I just want to thank you again for your help in selling our house. In this tough economy and market, I really didn't expect to get an offer. But you counseled me so well in pricing the house to sell and yet not letting me accept an offer that was too low. I believe we got the best deal we could have. I was so pleased and surprised with what we walked away with.

Sally & Phillip Barnard, Frisco TX
