All you have to do is know the right answer.
When selling your home you need to ask "What is the right question?"
The answer: Knowing the value of your home. Without this info you are guessing and one of 3 things will happen.
1.Price it too low and leave money on the table
2.Price it too high and sit on the market forever
3.Get lucky and price it right and sell your home
The likelihood of #3 goes up dramatically as you start to gather knowledge. First step in the knowledge quest happens by watching the local market and see what other people are listing for. How long are they sitting on the market? How does their home compare to yours? This step should be done 2-3 months before you put your house up ideally. Second step is to see what houses are selling for. This can be done easily enough through the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation website. The third step, and the most crucial, get yourself an appraisal by a licensed appraiser. Not a "CMA" from an agent, the motivation of their pricing can not always be considered in your best interest.
I am including this slide show and want you to look specifically at slide #8
CMA Steps
Why is it a Keller Williams agent does not want you to not listen to another agent? Are they not all trained the same? Do they not all look at the same data to come up with your price? Why would there be a difference between agents?View more documents from mratcliffe1.
This is why an independent appraisal is so important versus a real estate agent offered CMA.
Hey don't get me wrong, you could always get lucky...

If you want to get a huge house with a pleasant yard for a respectable price you can still find Dallas homes to fit your bill with the help of Dallas realtors. They will help you in find such homes in Dallas and also assist you in all the financial and paperwork. Since you probably wouldn't be able to find that in many the city.
I just had to post this obvious spam comment. Apparently realtors in Dallas can help you with many things but writing in English is not one of them!!
