Frequently asked questions

Common questions from home sellers in the DFW market. Can't find your answer? Contact us directly.

How do I know what price to list my home at?

We conduct a comprehensive market analysis looking at recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and your home's unique features. Our pricing strategy is designed to attract qualified buyers while maximizing your return.

What should I do to prepare my home for sale?

Start with decluttering and deep cleaning. Make minor repairs and consider fresh paint in neutral colors. We'll provide a detailed preparation checklist and can recommend trusted contractors for any needed work.

How long does it typically take to sell a home in DFW?

In the current market, well-priced homes typically receive offers within 21-30 days. The entire process from listing to closing usually takes 45-60 days, though this can vary based on market conditions.

Do I need to stage my home?

While not required, professional staging can help your home sell faster and for a higher price. We offer staging consultations and can connect you with professional stagers if needed.

What are the costs associated with selling?

Typical seller costs include agent commission (negotiable), title insurance, prorated property taxes, and any agreed-upon repairs. We'll provide a detailed net proceeds estimate before you list.

Can I sell my home if I still owe on my mortgage?

Yes! Most sellers have an outstanding mortgage. The payoff is handled at closing, and you receive the difference between your sale price and what you owe (minus other costs).

Should I be present during showings?

We recommend sellers leave during showings to allow buyers to explore freely and envision themselves in the space. We'll coordinate all showings and provide feedback after each visit.

What happens if my home doesn't sell?

If your home doesn't sell within the listing period, we'll review market feedback and adjust our strategy. This may include pricing adjustments, enhanced marketing, or addressing presentation issues.
