5. What people are saying about us
“I am MORE than happy with Melissa and her team as my real estate agents. I am not the easiest person in
the world to please and it took me over a year to find that just right home, and they worked very patiently
with me. When we finally started the process of the purchase I found them to be intelligent, thorough and
informative. They left no stone unturned. On the day of the closing they brought something to my attention I
was not even aware of........ but not to worry they had taken care of it. It was most certainly extra work on
their part, and I could only conclude they had gone above and beyond the call of duty. They certainly seems
to take pride in what they do. I am a sales manager in my field and I would hire a Melissa and her team any
day...... any day. Nick Sepulvado (happy home owner) Wylie, Texas”

vacation in Dallas. She was very courteous, patient and informative about the area, loan process and first
time home buyer programs. I truly recommend her services.”

“Melissa & her team are dedicated and very knowledgeable real estate agents that sold our home in less than
2 weeks in a depressed market. Their advice and expertise on staging and preparing our home for listing
proved to be priceless.”

“We hired Melissa & her team to sell our house and they sold it in a depressed market for more than the
asking price! They are an excellent realtor team. It's all business with Melissa & her team. They did not get
offended when we didn't understand things, and they "went to bat" for us when we needed them to. If you
think you can't afford a realtor, you can't afford not to hire Melissa & her team!”

8. PREPARING YOUR HOME
With buyers, the first impression counts! A small investment in time and
money will give your home an edge over other listings in the area when the
time comes to show it to a prospective buyer.
Here are more suggestions that will help you get top market value:
Ask a "buyer"
Ask a friend to walk through your home like a buyer would. Get
their opinion. Is it inviting, clean and well maintained? Make
any changes they suggest.
www.NorthTexasTopTeam.com
Melissa Hailey 214-418-0180
Freshen Up – The First Impression
Clean and tidy entrance.
Empty all trash, recycle bins, etc.
Stop smoking in the house.
Bathe pets and clean out litter boxes.
Use baking soda boxes in smell-prone areas.
Place flowers, potpourri or air fresheners around the house.
The Buying Atmosphere
Be absent during showings.
Turn on all lights.
Open drapes during daytime.
Keep pets outdoors or in kennel.
Play quiet background music.
MENU
9. Pricing Your Property
The higher a property is priced above realistic market value, the
more time it will take to sell and the less interest it will attract.
If a property fails to appraise at fair
market value, it will either force the
buyer to make up the difference in cash
or cause the sale to fall through.
Melissa Hailey 214-418-0180
If your property is priced right,
more buyers will be interested
when it first hits the market.
MENU
Since mortgages are based on fair market value, not the sale price, more buyers will
be able to consider your property when it is priced competitively.
10. Your Next Steps
•Locate a copy of your existing Survey if possible. A survey looks like a plat
map of your particular property and would have been provided to you when
you purchased the home. It is likely with your home purchase paperwork.
•Complete a Seller Disclosure Form, which is required by Texas Real Estate
Law. We will provide a copy of this to you for completion.
•Locate your mortgage information (bank name, phone, and your account
number)
•Have an extra key available to your home.
•Meet with the North Texas Top Team, Realtors to complete the paperwork
and begin marketing your home!

•Locate your Home Owner Association information if needed
(name, phone, when & amount of dues)
