Top Activities to do when getting ready to Sell Your Home in the Houston Area

Hello All,

It is that time of year! The kids are out of school, the days are getting hot and the housing market is ready to move people into their new house. So what to do if you are thinking of putting your house on the market? First, hire me and let me help guide you through the trenches!

Next, get the mindset that this is now NOT your house. It is going to be the house of the new owner. It is like your friends house and no longer have that emotional connection. This is one of the most important items you can do to get your house ready to sell. It does not matter if you like that tile or paint color or any other feature in your house because it is now the new owners house.

In addition, clean and de-clutter. START PACKING! Get a storage container like Pods and start moving in non-essential furniture into it. Remove religious and personal pictures from the wall and around the house. I know you are thinking "I'll just move the items into the garage" but then the new owner will not be able to how spacious the garage is and picture their vehicle inside their new garage. A good rule is if you have not used it in some time either donate it or trash it. All those clothes that you have not worn in a decade, it is time to donate them and make room for your new clothes that you will now have room for in Your new house. Old toys, pots and pans, tools that are broken that you thought you would fix, it is the time to donate or trash it.


After purging your house you will be ready to go to the "Make Ready" stage for your old house. That will be in next weeks blog so keep your eyes open.

Just keep in mind that the goal is to sell your house and move on to your next chapter in life.

Have a great day!

Both Cumberland and Cumberland Crossing (CC) offer a great environment to have and raise a family. Cumberland's streets are lined with trees and offers a peaceful place for a nature stroll through the woods. CC has sidewalks for the kids to ride their bikes on.

In addition, Cumberland has a large park with swings, basketball court and other play area. The pool is on the Cumberland side and is a large pool that is wonderful for summer pool parties.

Cumberland and Cumberland Crossing Feature property for Feburary 2017

What a quite and quaint neighborhood Cumberland and Cumberland Crossing is for the family looking for convenience and affordability. Cumberland offers walking trails, playgrounds and a community pool. Many of the streets dead-end and offer unique houses.

Cumberland Crossing offers the more modern look for houses on the stone and brick elevation but have the feel of a family community with the entry of a "white picketed fence". The community playground has picnic tables close to the kids play area.



See my Pinterest - Cumberland for pictures of these two great neighborhoods.

You want to talk about location: it is great due to it being right next to the new 99 loop and on 1314. The development is very close to the new Valley Ranch Center being developed with the new Sam's club open and Kroger coming soon. Academy is open and Hobby Lobby is coming soon but the Party City is open for business. Other than Valley Ranch, there is not a better location to all the new development.
