Pool Homes in Frisco Texas

Pool home in Frisco Texas

It’s that time of year again! Afternoon temperatures are over 100 degrees and everyone is looking for a way to cool off. While there are municipal and community pools, many homes in Frisco, Texas have in-ground pools. Personal pools offer privacy and a much quiet and relaxed atmosphere.

While some home buyers will opt to put in a new pool, we strongly encourage potential buyers to look for a Frisco Texas home where the pool is already installed. Installing a new pool is very costly and those owners never recoup the cost at the sale. It would be far more cost effective to purchase a home with a pool and remodel the kitchen and the baths.

Staging…It’s Not Just For Sellers Any More

1045_ArchesPark_TomBranch-19Gina and I recently sold our existing home and purchased a new home. As part of our listing process, we retained our stager to help get the home into show-ready condition. We sold the home in 3 hours that Sunday and closed on our new home about 4 weeks later.

As we began to move into the new home, we looked around and realized that we needed help getting the new home looking its best. We needed help with paint colors, furniture placement, and ideas on how to best accent it all. A quick call to our stager and we set up a time for her to help us “stage” our new home.

Moving into a new home? Want it to look its best? Call your stager! It’s not just for sellers any more.
