Read More How to stage your house for sale (And why you absolutely should) You may have noticed that many — if not most — top real estate agents have their listings staged. This is no coincidence, as staging a home can make a big difference when it comes to selling it. So, what exactly is home staging? It is preparing a home for sale from an aesthetic perspective. It involves decluttering, removing personal items, decorating or redecorating so that the home feels current and rearranging or replacing the existing furniture — all to highlight the most desirable aspects of the home. Many agents are talented in staging and can help with the process, while many […] The post How to stage your house for sale (And why you absolutely should) appeared first on B - the blog.

Below is his letter of November 12, 2021. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE Our agents and our brokerage are keenly focused on helping people who need a shelter or a home. In my mind, that’s because we’re all lucky to have one.

At this point, it’s no secret: The Texas real estate market continues to defy expectations, with a boom brought on before the pandemic — and certainly accelerated by it — that doesn’t show signs of slowing. The seller’s market that skyrocketed in the summer of 2020 has led to homes being listed for extremely short periods of time, often hours, before an offer rolls in.
