The Woodlands is growing ...and....stretching!!

The Woodlands is a fantastic planned community, one of the very best in the nation! And soon (hopefully) we will call ourselves a "city." As we grow, however, many changes have to be made so that traffic will continue to flow well . Our friend, Randy Scott, wrote a full article on the road expansion plans for this area. We invite you to visit his blog (below) for his commentary on the Master Plan for Mobility in The Woodlands.

Selling you home?? LESS is Definitely MORE!!

When you are planning to sell your house, it's important that the buyers be able to "see" your home as their home. How can you do this? First of all, you need to ....

De-clutter:

Clean out closets, pick up clutter, hide those treasured family photos too. Why? Besides making the home feel more spacious, it's easier for buyers to envision themselves and their own family photos in the house.

• Pack away special collections usually displayed in cabinets and hutches, and move a few pieces of furniture into storage. This will help buyers to better see where their own furniture might go.
• Keep the house clean every minute it's on the market. This takes great effort, but the buyer may need to see your home within 20 minutes, and you'll be ready!

Tone down your creativity!

• You like your house to "say something" about your personality. Well, it's time to tone it down! Buy some neutral paint to cover those red or lime-green walls. All buyers are comfortable with neutral colors.
• Does the buyer remember your home or your decorations? If you've got an Italian fresco on a living room wall that stops people in their tracks, they may lose sight of the rest of the home's wonderful features.

Remember, by "paring down" and organizing, you're ensuring that your home will appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers, and you'll be ahead of the game when it comes to packing up and moving out!

Ask us, your Realtors, if the house looks cluttered or if any colors are too bright.
We know what detracts a buyer. We've sold a lot of houses!!

What if I sell my home "as is" ??

Will Buyers view your Home for Sale
as “Lovable and Livable”
or “a Heck of a Wreck” ??

As a Home Seller you have several options. One is to do relatively little and sell the property “as is.” Another is to invest time, effort and money into fixing up the property before you sell. A third option is a combination of these.

Contrary to what one might think, most buyers want to “move into the home and not do a thing.” Not only will fixing up your home result in a higher sales price, but YOU have control over the improvements - who does them, the timing, and at what cost !

We know that some projects may be just too expensive, and some may not be able to be completed within your time frame. We can help you make those decisions. Our experience and market knowledge can aid you in prioritizing and to making your selling decisions with confidence!
