Top 4 Real Estate Tips When Listing Your Home for Sale in Allen ISD
It’s no secret that Allen Independent School District is a desirable community for families relocating to the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. Whatever Collin County school district that you are in, it’s a smart idea to showcase this key aspect to your home’s features and advertise the fact that you are within a specific school district, as many families will choose one home over another simply because of where it is located.
Here are some great tips for using your ISD location to your selling advantage:
Make sure your real estate broker is intimately familiar with the Allen Real Estate Market and Allen ISD
While many families know which city or school district they want to live in, we see many buyers still unsure about whether to choose Lovejoy ISD, McKinney ISD, Allen ISD….and with so many great options in Collin County, we completely understand why! When you’re selling your home, though, you want to have a realtor who can represent all the features of not only your home, but also the strengths of your ISD. Does your realtor sell many of the high-end luxury real estate properties in Allen Texas? Does your realtor have dedicated sections on their website to educate out-of-town buyers on your ISD, whether through their blog or a section on the different cities in Collin County?
In such a competitive sellers market, it’s really important to make sure that you work with a brokerage who has experience selling homes in your community in order to obtain the best selling price and also to attract a buyer who will appreciate what your home has to offer.
Showcase the family-friendly features of your home and neighborhood
Do you have a pool? Are you nearby to great extracurricular opportunities or is your subdivision known for its annual block parties? Do you live close to the Allen ISD Performing Arts Centre, for example? These are the types of unique features that will set your home apart. Many of our Collin County residents are moving here for the great job opportunities and quality of life, and this means that buyers are looking for family-friendly amenities to help them enjoy living in their new home. Your home doesn’t just stand alone on its own. It’s part of a community and selling your neighborhood’s top features is a great way to help a buyer realize how great your home and it’s location is going to be for their family.
Does your real estate broker enlist the help of top tier professionals to photograph, stage and write about your home?
It may seem like a given that your real estate agent WOULD enlist the help of top tier professionals when preparing a luxury property for sale but the truth is that these professionals come at a price and it is not cheap. That is why it is so important to hire a brokerage with the vision and resources to see the long term benefits of investing in your luxury property to both maximize sales price and minimize days on market.
