Seller checklist

Getting Your Home Ready to Sell in Texas

You don't need a full renovation to sell well. A few focused steps before you list help your home photograph better, show better and hold up during the buyer's inspection.

Start with a pricing conversationBefore you spend money, we'll walk through your home together and point out which projects are likely to pay off and which to skip.
Fix the small thingsLoose handles, dripping faucets, burned-out bulbs and worn caulk. Buyers notice them, and inspectors write them up.
Clean, declutter and neutralizeClear counters and closets, pack personal photos, and consider fresh neutral paint where needed. Less stuff makes rooms look bigger.
Boost curb appealFresh mulch, trimmed shrubs, a clean front door and a tidy yard make a strong first impression in listing photos.
Service the big systemsNorth Texas summers are hard on HVAC, and our clay soil can stress foundations. Recent service records and any repair paperwork reassure buyers.
Gather your paperworkTexas sellers of most homes must complete a Seller's Disclosure Notice. It also helps to have your existing survey, HOA documents, warranties and receipts for improvements.
