&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Alex and Danny were both hired as minimum-wage marketing assistants, but they’ve leveraged their positions to set them up for future success. Here’s how.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 8pt; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;We hadn’t had much success in the past hiring high-paid marketing assistants, so we decided that a new strategy would be necessary. Instead of hiring a high-paid expert, we would hire someone who would agree to work for minimum wage in exchange for the education and opportunities that we can provide here at Vyral. This process has yielded good results so far—just ask Alex and Danny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 8pt; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;They were both initially interested in the position because of the opportunity of a $50,000 + salary six months down the road. However, once they went through the interview process they realized it was a perfect fit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="quote-box"&gt;
&lt;div class="quote-text"&gt;
We’ve created a culture here at Vyral that is all about improving and learning each day.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 8pt; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;This was no accident. Our eight-step hiring process ensures that we only get the best and most motivated candidates. With all the steps we take to filter candidates, it’s inevitable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 8pt; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Our interview process is a bit unorthodox, but ultimately rewarding. We first contact candidates via email and ask them to fill out a personal assessment, as well as answering five questions on video. After that, we set up a Skype meeting, then an in-person meeting, then an interview.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 8pt; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;It’s a big deal when you make the wrong hire. That’s why we have a process in place to ensure we only get the best candidates. You should have one, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span id="docs-internal-guid-68515d97-7ce8-379d-6a8a-eec95868cb2c" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

That’s why we’ve been able to attract such great talent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I think it’s simply another case of people getting nervous while waiting for the test results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="quote-box"&gt;
&lt;div class="quote-text"&gt;
The real estate market looks great right now.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 8pt;"&gt;

An increase in the Fed rate might actually lead to a decrease in mortgage rates — this is exactly what happened the last time the Fed increased rates, back in December of 2015.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

If mortgage rates were to increase by the same amount, they would still be at historically low levels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

What will happen to the real estate market? My personal opinion is this: the moves by the Fed are nothing to worry about. I think it’s simply another case of people getting nervous while waiting for the test results. The real estate market looks great right now. In fact, I believe that an increase in the Fed Rate will have minimal impact on the real estate market in Mansfield for three reasons. First, mortgage rates often move independently of the Fed Rate. An increase in the Fed rate might actually lead to a decrease in mortgage rates — this is exactly what happened the last time the Fed increased rates, back in December of 2015. Second, the likely rate increase will be small, probably 0.25%. If mortgage rates were to increase by the same amount, they would still be at historically low levels. Third, we know the members of the Fed are concerned with the shortage of new housing right now — it’s right there in their September meeting notes. Because of this, any actions they take will keep the real estate market in mind. &amp;nbsp; In short: the real estate market is doing great right now—and it's likely to stay that way, with or without a Fed Rate increase. Right now, if you're selling, you can benefit from stable prices and strong demand: Check out how much your home is worth based on current Mansfield prices. And if you're buying, you can benefit from historically low mortgage rates so you can afford a great home in Mansfield: See available Mansfield homes that are for sale right now. Either way, if you have questions, or you just want to talk about what the Fed might do next, give me a call.

The 30-year fixed rate mortgage is 3.46%; this is only a few points above its all-time low of 3.31%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;What does this mean for you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;First, if you are looking to buy a home, now is an unusually good time to do so because these low rates mean you will be paying less. As an example, taking out a 30-year, $250,000 mortgage today versus a year ago (when the rate was 3.91%) would mean that you would save more than $25,000 over the lifetime of the loan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;The other way to look at it is that at today’s rates, you can afford a more luxurious home without paying more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; For example, if you were to take out a 30-year mortgage, you could now afford $15,000 more for a home than a year ago while keeping the same monthly payments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Clearly, this is a great opportunity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

You may not see as many buyers as you would in the spring and summer, but you can be sure that fall buyers are more serious.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;As you probably know, spring is the season when most people around Mansfield put their homes on the market. Summer is the high season, and it’s when most homes get sold. And yet, there are a few powerful reasons why fall might actually be a better time than either spring or summer to sell your home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;It makes perfect sense when you think about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;By the fall, the bulk of spring listings are expiring. As a result, there is less competition, particularly when you consider the *NEW* label and the fewer days on the market that your listing will boast. Also, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;home buyers in the fall are more serious.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; They have been looking at listings for months, and they are eager to conclude their search and move in comfortably before the holidays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="quote-box"&gt;
&lt;div class="quote-text"&gt;
It makes perfect sense when you think about it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;When you put those two things together, you get that homes listed in the fall sell more quickly and often command a higher price. In fact, fall is the season with the highest percentage of sold listings, beating out summer by 1%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Now, if you are thinking of selling your home this fall, there are a few things you have to do differently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b id="docs-internal-guid-53a93f5d-2f3a-de8a-64f4-642228e226b6" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;First, you have to prepare your home to account for the particular fall conditions. For example, you need to check the HVAC system and replace your furnace filter so your home will be warm and smell fresh. Also, make sure to turn on all the lights; you've got to compensate for the shorter, cloudier days. Cleaning up the yard is also a must.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

On the one hand, the fall is not a good time to start with a sky-high price. If you don’t sell right away, you might not have time to adjust the price because of the smaller number of buyers and the shorter selling period (nobody wants to move over Christmas).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It’s also something I can definitely help you with. Give me a call if you are considering selling this fall, and I’ll give you my recommendations on how to price your home based on current conditions in Mansfield.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Want to sell your Mansfield Home?&amp;nbsp;Get a FREE home value report Want to buy a Mansfield Home?&amp;nbsp;Search all homes for sale Today I wanted to talk about why the fall is such a great time to sell your home.Sometimes, it really pays to go against the crowd. As you probably know, spring is the season when most people around Mansfield put their homes on the market. Summer is the high season, and it’s when most homes get sold. And yet, there are a few powerful reasons why fall might actually be a better time than either spring or summer to sell your home. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. By the fall, the bulk of spring listings are expiring. As a result, there is less competition, particularly when you consider the *NEW* label and the fewer days on the market that your listing will boast. Also, home buyers in the fall are more serious. They have been looking at listings for months, and they are eager to conclude their search and move in comfortably before the holidays. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. When you put those two things together, you get that homes listed in the fall sell more quickly and often command a higher price. In fact, fall is the season with the highest percentage of sold listings, beating out summer by 1%. Now, if you are thinking of selling your home this fall, there are a few things you have to do differently. First, you have to prepare your home to account for the particular fall conditions. For example, you need to check the HVAC system and replace your furnace filter so your home will be warm and smell fresh. Also, make sure to turn on all the lights; you've got to compensate for the shorter, cloudier days. Cleaning up the yard is also a must. The second thing you need to do is price your home appropriately. To get started, check out the value calculator I created that takes into account recent Mansfield sales to give you an idea of what your home is worth right now.

&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;If you are considering selling your home in the near future, you are probably planning on making a few renovations. However, some renovations are more appealing to buyers than others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;These improvements will actually deter buyers when it comes time to sell your home: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;



&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Too much wallpaper. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Buyers don’t want to tear down a bunch of wallpaper in order to paint; they want the walls ready for painting when they move in. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Lavish lighting fixtures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;You might have a different sense of style than the buyers, so keep it simple when it comes to the lighting fixtures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

You should also avoid murals, permanent wall coverings, or cute ceiling decals that may damage the walls. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

Buyers want plain, neutral decor when they move in. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

Most buyers do not want to see that everywhere. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class="quote-box"&gt;
&lt;div class="quote-text"&gt;
Keep the decor light, soft, and neutral.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;That said, other renovations will add value to your home and net you more money when it comes time to sell. The top four renovations to make when selling your home are: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Renovating your kitchen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Buyers love to see updated kitchens. However, keep in mind that if you spend more than $20,000 on the renovation, you’re not likely to get all of that money back. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Bathroom renovations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Everyone likes to have a large, luxurious master bathroom, and buyers will pay extra for an updated bathroom. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;New flooring. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;You probably can’t clean your carpet well enough to make people think that it’s new; instead, bring in new carpeting or tile. New flooring is a great way to add value and that new carpet smell will give buyers peace of mind. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Curb appeal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;When buyers drive past your home, you need to make sure your property makes a good first impression. Plant flowers, trim bushes, and pull weeds. The more organized and orderly your lawn can be, the more appealing your home will be to buyers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Now, this one is not on the list, but it’s incredibly important not to forget the backyard. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;People want to see a yard that they can entertain friends in. A cluttered and unkempt backyard tells the buyer that you don’t take care of your home; a well-cared for backyard with trimmed trees, weeded flower beds, and trimmed grass tells buyers the opposite. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

However, some renovations are more appealing to buyers than others. These improvements will actually deter buyers when it comes time to sell your home: Too much wallpaper. Buyers don’t want to tear down a bunch of wallpaper in order to paint; they want the walls ready for painting when they move in. Lavish lighting fixtures. You might have a different sense of style than the buyers, so keep it simple when it comes to the lighting fixtures. Textured walls, wall coverings, and ceilings. Many times, people think they are adding value with different DIY textures when, really, they put up too much. You should also avoid murals, permanent wall coverings, or cute ceiling decals that may damage the walls. The wrong kind of flooring. Flooring is expensive to replace and the wrong kind of flooring will be detrimental to your home sale. Buyers want plain, neutral decor when they move in. Too much carpet. Carpet holds dirt and shows traffic patterns. Most buyers do not want to see that everywhere. Bold wall colors. Remember, bright, loud colors are bad; neutral, soft colors are good. Swimming pools and hot tubs. You may enjoy a pool or hot tub but most buyers don’t want to deal with or pay for the maintenance. Keep the decor light, soft, and neutral. That said, other renovations will add value to your home and net you more money when it comes time to sell. The top four renovations to make when selling your home are: Renovating your kitchen. Buyers love to see updated kitchens. However, keep in mind that if you spend more than $20,000 on the renovation, you’re not likely to get all of that money back. Bathroom renovations. Everyone likes to have a large, luxurious master bathroom, and buyers will pay extra for an updated bathroom. New flooring. You probably can’t clean your carpet well enough to make people think that it’s new; instead, bring in new carpeting or tile. New flooring is a great way to add value and that new carpet smell will give buyers peace of mind. Curb appeal. When buyers drive past your home, you need to make sure your property makes a good first impression. Plant flowers, trim bushes, and pull weeds. The more organized and orderly your lawn can be, the more appealing your home will be to buyers. Now, this one is not on the list, but it’s incredibly important not to forget the backyard. People want to see a yard that they can entertain friends in. A cluttered and unkempt backyard tells the buyer that you don’t take care of your home; a well-cared for backyard with trimmed trees, weeded flower beds, and trimmed grass tells buyers the opposite.

Making improvements to your bathroom, therefore, is one of the best ways to create value to your home if you’re considering selling in the future. Here are eight inexpensive ways to do just that:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Due to the room’s small space, it’s important to use a neutral color.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

If you’re going to do it yourself, there are some great products out there with vinyl flooring that are easy enough to install, but please at least consider hiring a professional for the job. Adding a rug can also accent the room well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;“Let me tell you something about Mr. Teixeira, okay? This is a guy that you want in your corner. This is a guy that will go the extra mile. He’s going to tell you straight what you need to be told but, he’s going to do it in a very professional way that you will understand. He knows his business, he knows his stuff. He doesn’t try to add a lot of fluff.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I don’t know of any other agents that will come out and be there for you when you’re not there. Let’s say, that your dogs are pinned up most of the day because you need to have a showing. John would drive across town when you’re at work and he will let them out for you. He’s going to help you out, he’s going to make sure your place is taken care of. To me, that’s the kind of guy that you want working for you. That’s the kind of person that you want to work with, that you trust. He will take care of you, take care of your family, and also take care of the business that you need to get done.”

The home is located at 9321 Marble Falls in the Southwind subdivision in the southernmost part of Arlington. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;At 2,230 sq. ft. with four bedrooms, granite counters, and wood floors, this home has just been put on the market for $240,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;. The home’s owner, Carol, is here today to discuss her home, why she’s selling, and why she will be sad to leave it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Carol is actually the original owner of the home, and had it built on-site just over nine years ago. The most important part of the build, to her, was making sure there was plenty of room for family and friends to feel welcome and invited. The open floor plan has helped her achieve this and as recently as two weeks ago, Carol was able to seat 40 people for dinner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

The dining room comfortably holds 10 seats, with another eight spots in the kitchen, and four more at the bar. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;

All the schools in the area are within a 5-10 minute drive, and Carol describes the community as “very friendly and very quiet.” This is never more evident than when looking at the backyard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; This home’s backyard opens up to a green space with hiking and running trails, with a creek bed on the opposite side. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

She’s been very happy with her energy bills at this home, mostly because she had the builder put a radiant barrier on it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

“Well, considering we’re in Houston and he’s up there, he just helped us tremendously. My daughter and son-in-law had used him once before when they sold their house in Arlington. Actually, my daughter was down here and then my son-in-law came and John helped them to sell their house, he’s awesome.
&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
He helped us to locate people to help us with the work that we needed to get done after the inspector came. We would have been at a total loss if he hadn’t have been able to guide us to people that could help us do the things that we needed to get done.”&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;/br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;“ I got good results. He was very polite. He took the time to come by the house and everything. It was very nice. He made me feel really comfortable. This is my first time ever doing this, so I didn’t quite know what to expect.” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/br&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"My husband and I were extremely satisfied with the results we recieved from working with John -- not only this time, but last time as well. When we first listed our home, I wasn't expecting him to have an open house for us so soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It was near Halloween, my husband and I were not going to be at home, and John made little cards that had pictures of our home with little candy inserts to pass out at Halloween to give to the kids but also advertise the sale of our home. That was awesome to me -- it was really above and beyond what I expected of him or from anyone who listed our home."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
