1) Interview Collin County’s Top Realtors

Selling your home is a huge financial move (no pun intended!), and you want to be sure that you hire a trustworthy, top realtor who is ready to do everything possible to provide you with an exceptional experience selling your real estate property. It’s true that Collin County has many great realtors, however we are so confident in our 100% custom listing program that WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE prospective clients to interview as many of Collin County’s best realtors as they possibly can.  It is only then that they can truly see how unique and how comprehensive our marketing program is!

From our exclusive magazine “Distinguished Homes”, which has a reach of over 25,000 readers quarterly and can be seen in all of the Frisco RoughRiders AND Allen Americans luxury boxes and suites every home game, all season long to our professional “in-house” Architectural photographer who’s award winning work can be seen many of DFW’s finest luxury home publications on a regular basis, our depth and resources are unmistakably obvious when interviewing perspective agents.  We spend on average over $1,000 per listing, to ensure that we can get top dollar when marketing the home!

2) Find a Realtor Who Is Using Leading Industry Tools

Back in the day, there was little to differentiate one realtor’s toolkit from another. That’s no longer the case. With the number of high-end marketing tools available today, it’s important that you select a realtor who has invested in leading real estate technology to get your home sold. If your realtor isn’t offering digital floor plans in their marketing package or using a professional photographer whose meticulously edited architectural photos capture the essence of a home’s beauty, for example, than your hard earned dollars are settling for less.

3) Consider Using a Home Stager

The benefits of staging your home are well known–homes that are staged sell faster and for a higher price point. While some people attempt DIY staging to sell their home, there’s nothing like work with a professional, and your realtor can recommend a preferred stager to help you get ready for a sale. At Matlock Real Estate Group, we are so confident in the benefits of using a professional home stager that we offer a complimentary 90 minute consultation with our trusted interior designer to every new listing. Our clients absolutely love her work and will often hire her to help them with their new home. She is an expert when it comes to furniture placement, color choice, neutralizing your home for a sale and, of course, decluttering.

4) Don’t Worry About TIming the Market

Many of our clients think that waiting until the perfect time is the way to approach a sale, but the truth is, if you’re ready to sell your home, there’s a buyer ready to buy your home. Especially here in Collin County, Texas where we are blessed with great weather year round and where you can be sure to get top dollar for your home, there’s really no ideal selling season. Talk to your realtor today to get professional insight into what the best time for you to sell might be, rather than worrying about timing the market

In 2013, the Collin County district of Lovejoy ISD started a transfer student option, to help address the concern that many of the surrounding districts wished they could send their children to Lovejoy ISD but were perhaps only a few blocks on the other side of the Lovejoy ISD’s mapped boundary. For example, Tiffany and Hunter Sexauer, who live in the beautiful, rural area of Lucas, are willing to spend $8,000 per year to send their daughter, Anicah, to kindergarten in Lovejoy ISD.

Lovejoy ISD offers the Transfer Option with a number of eligibility criteria, including a mandatory 95% attendance record and satisfactory academic performance, but there are still many parents who appreciate having this option available to them.

There are so many beautiful neighborhoods in Collin County that for those who choose to move forward with Lovejoy ISD’s transfer option, it makes sense for them to be able to still enjoy the home they love. Unfortunately, however, this transfer option isn’t going to be available forever. According to Superintendent Ted Moore, the current availability is part of a stop-gap measure to help compensate for recent tax cuts that has left Lovejoy ISD with $2.5 million to recoup. The new campus, Willow Springs Middle School, is the reason why Lovejoy ISD has a few extra spots they are willing to open up to children from neighboring districts, but according to Moore, it’s not a long-term solution to those looking to enroll their children in Lovejoy ISD:

“Because you build your facilities based on what your demographer tells you how many kids you’re going to have, and so for us, that’s going to be true,” Moore says. “Really, over the next 8 plus years, we’ll have to get out of the transfer business because our residents will be filling all of the seats (keranews.org).”

In addition to the temporary nature of this solution, the added cost is one more reason for some of our clients to decide to sell their Collin County home to move within the Lovejoy ISD real estate boundary. As a top real estate brokerage for those looking to move to the Lovejoy ISD, we understand the real challenges that parents face when trying to decide the best educational opportunities for their children. All of Collin County hosts exceptional academic and extracurricular schools options, but for parents looking to move to the Lovejoy ISD area, we work closely with these clients to make the transition as smooth as possible.

As real estate prices continue to rise, you’re sure to get a great price on your Collin County home, and at Matlock Real Estate Group, we are experts at getting our clients into the home of their dreams, even in the very competitive Lovejoy ISD. To learn about our close working relationships with prospective sellers in Lovejoy ISD, check out our blog post about how we can find you a Lovejoy ISD home that isn’t even on the market yet!
