Maximize Your Home’s Value Before It Hits the Market

Want to get the most money for your home? The key is strategic preparation—and at Texas Homeownership Group, we know exactly how to position your home to attract motivated buyers. Here’s your go-to list:

1. Meet With Your Trusted Real Estate Advisor

Start by connecting with us to:
  • Review local market trends
  • Run a comparative market analysis
  • Develop a pricing and marketing plan tailored to your goals
2. Deep Clean & Declutter

A spotless home with minimal distractions makes a powerful first impression.

3. Boost Curb Appeal

Landscaping, fresh mulch, and a clean entryway help buyers fall in love before they walk in.

4. Touch Up Paint & Finishes

Neutral tones and clean finishes appeal to a wider audience and photograph better.

5. Make Minor Repairs

Fix anything broken—door handles, leaky faucets, creaky cabinets. Small flaws can raise red flags.

6. Stage Strategically

Staging highlights your home’s best features and helps buyers visualize living there.

7. Optimize Lighting

Replace burnt-out bulbs and open the blinds. Bright homes feel more welcoming.

8. Neutralize Smells

A clean scent (or no scent) goes a long way. Avoid overpowering candles or air fresheners.

9. Professional Photography

Your first showing happens online—and high-quality photos are non-negotiable.

10. Have a Game Plan for Showings

Keep your home show-ready and have a plan for quick exits when showings are scheduled.Selling your home doesn’t have to be stressful. Let Texas Homeownership Group guide you through every step so you can move forward confidently—and profitably.
