Buying Bug and Selling Bug Free  

If your house is a typical one, there is probably some kind of small, leggy creature that makes its home with you. Whether they are termites, fleas, roaches, ants, or spiders, it is a good idea to serve them with an eviction notice before you put your home on the market. If home remedies like ionized boric acid don't work, paying a professional exterminator will be money well spent.

Most standard sales agreements require that a property be inspected before the closing and treated for termite infestation, if necessary. It is a good idea to check for insect problems as soon as you sign a listing agreement, so that they don't become an issue of contention in the sale. Some insects may not physically damage the house, but may reduce its chances of selling for top dollar. Constantly having to push back spider webs while touring the house could seriously undermine a prospective buyer's ability to fully appreciate your home.

STAGING DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Good day to each of you as we head into a beautiful Fall evening,,,, are you considering selling your property in the area we call Texoma Real Estate For sale? If so we are here to help you prove the market value and talk to you about what it will take to make that all important first impression on the buyers that are going to be looking at your property...

First thing stop calling it your home, a home is made up of the people and memories in a house... This is now a business transaction and the emotions need to be left at the curb to put it bluntly... We need to take a look at your property from a buyers stand point.... So lets step back and really look at what we see when we drive up to the curb and or drive by the front of the property... we all know that curb appeal gets us looked at before the one next door and or down the street correct???? Oh yes it does so go out drive around your neighborhood and then drive up to your property and take a long look at what you see... does it have appeal does it look good from the curb? If not take notes and lets get started on getting it looking great... Now as you head into the front door area is it clean free from cob webs wasp nest debris in general? If not it should be. When the buyers open the door and walk in does it smell good it is easy to enter the front door and maneuver around is it easy for the potential buyer to see themselves in this property so they can now call it home? If not then de-clutter take down personal photos and trinkets open up the floor plan and let your property shine as we all know it can...

Why hasn't my home sold?

I have it on the market with a Real Estate Agent!

Are you asking your self the above question why has my home not sold? Well first off this is your house yes but we must remember this is a commodity that you are selling. So take a step back and really look at your house stop looking at is as your home. Take a long objective look at what you see. Take a pen and paper with you as you begin to look at what you see make notes look at this as a buyer might look at it. Leave the emotions of what you think you have out of it just plain look at the property as a buyer would look at it. Yes I am sure you have put alot of love into the property you have on the market but leave that out of the equation.

As you begin the process of just looking at the property what do you see?

1. Is it clean I mean really clean?
2. How does it smell when a potential buyer walks into the property?
3. Are there problem areas that you may need to address such as a leaky faucet?
4. Is the property cluttered such as magazines laying around to much on the cabinets?
5. Is the property too personalized or are the potential buyes looking at the property or your things such as antique furniture family photos ect... ?
6. Drive up appeal take a drive and stop and see what you are looking at from the street. Is the yard mowed trees trimmed walk way clean, is the yard well lighted at night?(remember drive up appeal is the first thing a buyers sees so give it all you got and make the property stand out)

If you can say yes this is all done and your property is still not selling then we need to address a few more factor. And this may be the point that you look at giving me a call and we can talk in more detail.
