What is the best time to sell a home?

The best time to sell a home in Texas may vary, but the spring and early summer months are known as the most favorable times to sell a home. This period typically sees increased buyer activity as families often move during the summer months to avoid disrupting the school year. Our area continues to attract families year-round. Due to limited inventory, I have advised sellers to list during the winter holidays. Strong market demand with fewer competing homes often result in my clients receiving multiple offers over listing price.

Does staging a home increase buyer interest?

Absolutely! Staging is like dressing up for a first date or a job interview — it’s all about making that killer first impression. It helps buyers envision themselves living there, which can significantly increase their interest and ultimately lead to a sale. Staging isn’t just about making your home look pretty — it’s about making it irresistible to buyers and maximizing its value.

How does a buyer benefit from working with you as an agent?

The Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex is large and can be overwhelming for buyers, particularly those moving to the area. In my 11 years as a local realtor, I have represented both buyers and sellers across the metroplex and more locally here in Southlake and neighboring cities. I offer insights into trends, pricing and competition, empowering buyers to make informed decisions. As we get to considering specific properties, I conduct thorough research, tour homes and guide buyers through the negotiation process to ensure they have all of the necessary details to navigate the North Texas real estate market with confidence.

What is your experience selling in this area?

As a member of Keller Williams’ luxury division, I’ve been recognized as a Top 10% producer in Southlake and have received numerous awards and recognitions. While I have supported many buyers and sellers over the past 11 years, I take great pride in making lasting connections with my clients that often result in repeat business. Whether a first-time buyer is looking to upgrade, relocate or find that special investment property, my clients can count on me for my knowledge, honesty and professionalism.
