Hi, I'm Malisa Walker, Your Guide to Selling Your Texas Home
Dedicated to providing expert guidance for maximum profit with minimum stress.
"No Joke, Selling Your Home Can Be A Battlefield"
Selling a home can feel like a high-stakes battlefield. I remember one negotiation where we were able to turn the client's outcome by staying focused on the goals and not the drama.
With average days on market fluctuating in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, and shifting interest rates, time is of the essence. Let me help you navigate these challenges and avoid the bad outcomes.
Step 1: "How Much Is Your Home REALLY Worth?" (Let's Get Real)
Location, Condition, Upgrades
Forget Zillow's estimate. We'll delve into the specifics of your property's location, its condition, and any upgrades you've made.
Comparative Market Analysis
I offer a free, detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine your home's true market value, and explain how it works, mentioning recent sales data and market trends.
Avoid Overpricing
Overpricing leads to longer market times, price reductions, and buyer skepticism. Let’s find out what it would go for right now!
Step 2: "Presentation is Everything" (Making Your Home Irresistible)
