Should I Sell My Dallas Home Now

Should I Sell My Dallas Home NowShould I sell my Dallas home now?  Debbie Murray of Allie Beth Allman & Associates at 214-558-1004 says that now is a great time to sell your home.  Although the summer selling season has come and gone, the lack of local inventory is an advantage to you for selling your home now.

Some buyers have taken a break from their Dallas area home search due to rising interest rates, bidding wars, and lack of inventory.  However, many sellers in University Park, Highland Park, Preston Hollow, and other luxury areas around Dallas attract many cash buyers.  And even so, not all home buyers pay cash, and some are experiencing a corporate relocation, or a life event such as upsizing or downsizing.  These buyers may have to buy a Dallas area home the last quarter of this year.
Typically, the last months of the year have fewer home buyers searching for homes.  This is an advantage to home buyers to have less competition for making an offer, and executing a home sales contract.  If your home is ready for the real estate market, now may be a great time to sell it.  Hire a marketing expert like Debbie to represent you.  She has a BBA in Marketing, and she has won many prestigious real estate marketing awards at luxury real estate conferences.  Debbie provides her sellers customized marketing plans, and she understands that telling the story of the lifestyle of the home is imperative.
Debbie has represented home buyers and sellers in Dallas residential real estate for 23 years.  She and her luxury boutique broker, Allie Beth Allman & Associates, specialize in the Park Cities of Dallas which include University Park, and Highland Park,  Preston Hollow in Dallas, and luxury high rises, although she has assisted clients in other areas.

Dallas Landscaping With Succulents

Dallas Landscaping With SucculentsDallas landscaping with succulents is a great way to add drought resistant color to your home says Realtor Debbie Murray.

What are succulents?  Per Wikipedia, ” Succulents have the ability to thrive on limited water sources, such as mist and dew, which makes them equipped to survive in an ecosystem that contains scarce water sources.”

Many cities around the Dallas/Fort Worth area have watering restrictions for residents since North Texas is experiencing drought conditions.  For example, one city allows residents to water once per week on residential trash/recycling days.  Therefore, drought tolerant landscaping is beneficial to a homeowner.  Even succulent flower pots around your home have an advantage for traveling homeowners as they require less watering.  Consider these beautiful plants to add color and texture to your garden and beyond.

Dallas Home Buyers Benefit From Sound Real Estate Advice

Dallas Home buyers benefit from the sound real estate advice of Debbie Murray at Allie Beth Allman & Associates at 214/558-1004.

For years Debbie has been instructed by Dallas real estate attorneys to advise her home buyers to purchase a new home survey.  And through the years that advice has proven valuable.

Years ago Debbie’s buyers bought acreage northwest of Dallas.  Per the contract, they indicated that they would purchase a new survey, and it was a good thing that they did.  The survey came back showing that the neighbors putting green and their play fort were encroaching by five feet on to the property that her buyers were purchasing.  The original seller’s survey had been mis-surveyed.  After discussing the boundary problem with the next door neighbors, the sellers discovered that other sellers on the street had experienced similar survey issues when they sold their homes.  As a result, a real estate attorney prepared a boundary agreement which basically said that if the owners next door, or future owners, removed the putting green or the play fort, that the fence line would be moved to the property line.  And this agreement would pass to future owners of each property.
There is nothing wrong with asking for the sellers survey as a baseline, and still purchasing a new one.  After all, the two surveys should say the same thing if they were both surveyed correctly.  Information is crucial when purchasing a home.
Debbie has represented home buyers and sellers in Dallas residential real estate for 23 years.  She and her luxury boutique broker, Allie Beth Allman & Associates, specialize in the Park Cities of Dallas which include University Park, and Highland Park, and Preston Hollow in Dallas, although she has assisted clients in other areas.

Hire A University Park Real Estate Expert

Hire A University Park Real Estate ExpertHire A University Park real estate expert to sell your University Park home.  Hire Associate Broker, Debbie Murray at 214-558-1004, who is fully trained to represent you in your next luxury home real estate transaction.  Debbie Murray enjoys training fellow agents at her firm, and she is a former Texas Real Estate Commission licensed instructor.  Debbie loves giving back, and one way to do that is by sharing her wealth of knowledge from her twenty three years of residential real estate experience with her fellow Realtors.  “Everyone loves a story”, says Debbie, and “I have some pretty interesting ones through the years.  Interesting stories make lessons memorable which is why she uses her personal experiences when teaching.  Learning to handle objections is key, especially when representing your clients.  And asking the right questions can facilitate the sale from a negotiation standpoint.  And understanding Information About Agency in Texas and Representation  Versus Intermediary is extremely important (and a state law), and something that Realtors must be able to explain to their clients.  Newer Realtors appreciate the extra insight and understanding of these topics, and they are like eager sponges soaking up the knowledge.  I am always happy to teach when asked, just as I am happy to take someone else’s class so that I may learn.  It’s a two way street.”

This is the feedback she received from a fellow Allie Beth Allman & Associates Realtor who attended her Intermediary (Information About Agency) in Texas class that Debbie taught at the Allie Beth Allman & Associates training center on Thursday, July 14, 2022.

“A quick note about today. It was outstanding!  Debbie was an absolute wealth of knowledge on Intermediary and presenting info vs. handing clients a form.  This was hands down the best class I’ve attended since getting my license 2.5 years ago.”
