CNN Confirms What I have Been Saying For Years! List Your Home in Q1 and Sell Quickly!

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012 at 1:11pm. 155 Views, 0 Comments.

List Your DFW Home Early and Sell FastThe market for well maintained preowned homes in DFW is currently red hot in early 2012! Listings that are sensibly prepared for MLS in Q1 typically contract and sell quickly and this has a lot to do with the fact that there are way fewer homes to compete with in Q1 versus any other time of the year. CNN's Jennifer Westhoven reported this morning on HLN's "Morning Express with Robin Meade" the benefits to home sellers who sell early in the year versus later.

BASICALLY HERE IS WHY Q1 IS A SELLERS BEST FRIEND

  • People seem to enter each year with a more positive outlook including wanting a fresh start at a new address. Perhaps this is an "out with the old and in with the new" mentality.
  • People seem to put off year end home buying so as to not interfere with the…

Thursday, February 9th, 2012 at 3:47pm. 227 Views, 1 Comments.

The yard sign was placed at 1pm last Saturday and by 4pm the same day a full price contract was inbound, even before I was able to get this home activated in MLS. A 2nd offer for even more money came a few days later.front-sold-in-1-day3_641

When you do the right thing as a seller before you list, you improve your prospects to sell fast and for more money. ARG consulted with this seller and provided market leading cost effective contractor referrals and some of the results are pictured. This was money well spent considering the full offer and higher than full offer back up. ARG for years has helped area home owners prepare and sell their homes quickly and for the most money possible. Buyers love to find clean homes that don't need endless improvements, and allows them to move in…


ARG Sets New Realistic HDR Photo Standards For MLS for All Our DFW Listings

Thursday, February 9th, 2012 at 1:55pm. 209 Views, 0 Comments.

Advanced HDR Photography for DFW MLS Listings with ARGThe world of digital photography is changing thanks to High Dynamic Range photography or HDR, which is richer, contains more detail and is more lifelike or 3D versus being flat or single dimensional traditional digital or even film photography. This means the quality of images now available to you in MLS are changing and that is why you should insist on 'genuine" HDR photos for your home's upcoming MLS listing.    

Over the course of the last few years, there have been many listings that have employed a variation of HDR photography that is referred to as "Tone Mapping." Tone mapping photos takes less time, uses only one image (one shutter actuation) versus 3 or more images required by HDR, and are characterized by a very unnatural or surreal look.…
