Summer means longer days, more daylight for showings and many families wanting to move before school starts. It is also hot, so a little extra preparation helps.
Keep it cool
Buyers walk through quickly, so make sure the home feels comfortable. Set the thermostat before showings, and replace the HVAC filter.
Boost the curb appeal
Keep the lawn green and trimmed.
Water plants early in the morning.
Add a few pots of heat-tolerant flowers near the door.
Make the inside bright
Open the blinds and turn on lights for showings.
Clean windows inside and out.
Keep the home free of strong odors.
Be flexible with showings
Summer is busy and families have tight schedules, so the more flexible you can be, the more buyers can see the home.
Price it right
Look at recent sales nearby, not last year's prices.
Highlight outdoor living
A tidy patio, shade and a pool, if you have one, are big selling points in Texas.
Prepare for your move
If you want to move before school starts, start early, since closings take time.
