It has been a tough week and it’s only Monday... 🐾 We lost our sweet Paris this past Thursday and while our hearts are shattered, we are so grateful for every bit of love & s***k she gave us in the last 12 years!

The house is different now, and we are adjusting to this new norm that no one wanted.

She was pure sass, loved people, purred when you pet her, stood her ground, stole food whenever you turned your back, bossed the big dogs around, took out a chicken or two (bad girl), loved all the babies that came through our doors, lit up when we went through a drive through window & showed deep disappointment when it was just an ATM or pharmacy pick up line!

She was SO MUCH FUN!

You can listen to a video at the end of how our conversations with her would always go.. 💗😁🌸

Her memory & these precious moments captured are such a gift to our family right now.

I know we’ll see you again Pari, run free little girl... or who are we kidding, get a snack, a belly rub & take a nap… till we meet again little one! Love 🌈🐾🌸💗

If you live in an established neighborhood in DFW like Flower Mound, Grapevine, Southlake, or Colleyville you know the struggle. You’ve got a great location and beautiful mature trees that new construction neighborhoods can’t touch. However, maybe there’s things in your home like your kitchen & bath that are stuck in a different decade.

Do you stay and renovate, or is it finally time to move?

I specialize in helping you navigate these decisions as your ultimate resource! By providing you with an Equity Audit, you’ll discover how much house wealth you’ve built up and if it’s enough to cover your dream updates. I’ll guide you through which specific updates can make a dramatic impact on a smart budget. While connecting you with vetted local contractors and lenders who have taken care of my clients time and time again.

So whether you’re ready to fall in love with your home all over again or you’re officially ready for the next chapter, I’m here to get you exactly where you need to go!

Named him Puppy so he’d fit right in! He just happened to come with a “ninja” upgrade. He is keeping everyone on their toes!

Do you know what the GOLDEN WINDOW for dfw is? We are officially entering that season & the data for April, May, and June show this is the BUSIEST and most PROFITABLE time to sell.

However, keep in mind, because it is the busy season buyers also have the MOST options. Even in a hot market, sellers should NEVER skip the prep work. Sellers who target this window and focus on PROFESSIONAL presentation, typically earn about $6,000 more than those who don’t.

Think of it this way: the market BRINGS the buyers to the door, but the PRESENTATION is what gets them to WRITE the offer.

From curb appeal to staging, showing up READY’ is the difference between sitting on the market and a record-breaking sale.

If you were going to move this spring, what is the one room in your house you’d be most nervous about showing to a buyer? Drop it in the comments BELOW and I’ll give you my best tips for prepping that specific space!

I saw this list and it hit me square in the head! Not just as someone who loves a peaceful home, but as a Realtor. At Magnolia, we believe in home. What does that even mean?!

It means home should restore us from today and ready us for tomorrow. But a lot of times, we think we have an ‘organizing’ problem, when the truth is, we just have a ‘space’ problem. Our homes are at capacity, weighted down by items we don’t even use, and it’s draining our mental peace.

Read over these and see which ones resonate with you. For me, it was the ‘Pile Pivot’ and ‘Guest Anxiety’!

It’s not just about what a house is worth on paper; it’s about what it’s worth to your peace when you walk through that door. You deserve a sanctuary that supports your well-being instead of draining it.

So, if you feel a little called out by this list, please don’t. You’re not alone in this! We believe in courage - in cartwheeling past our comfort zones and trying something a little bit scary. And let’s be honest, letting go of things can be scary! But it isn’t about PERFECTION; it’s about taking steps towards PEACE.

My CHALLENGE for you this week: Don’t try to fix the whole house. Just pick one thing. Clear one surface. Reclaim one drawer. Just one… and take that small step and watch how much lighter you feel.

You’ve got this!

Is your DoorDash habit costing you a bigger house?

The average household spends $300 a month on food delivery. That’s $3,600 a year and that same amount converts to $36,000 in additional buying power.

Think about it!

That buying power could get you a bigger yard, an upgraded primary suite, or that kitchen you’ve been eyeing.

You can keep paying for delivery fees, or you can move up a tier.

Stop Door-Dashing dinner, and start building a DOOR for your future!

Save this and send it to your friend who just spent forty bucks on delivery.

What BUZZ have you heard lately regarding what is happening to home pricing and the amount of homes on the market?

Let’s take a deep breath and look at what’s really happening in DFW.. the data is painting a much calmer picture.

Right now, we have almost 25,000 homes on the market. Remember the COVID years, when inventory dipped to an abnormal low of 4,100 homes? As balance is restored this means buyers have more opportunities and options!

For sellers, this new normal means that STRATEGY is EVERYTHING, when a home is properly presented and priced correctly, we are seeing multiple offers.

Whether you’re looking for a fresh start or curious about your home's value, I’m here to help you navigate this next season of life!

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Melissa Stovall by Michette B - Melissa is amazing at what she does. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market and the property trends in the metroplex. Her expertise and guidance felt natural and customized to my very specific needs. I trust her opinion, vision and expertise she took the time to understand my goals and dreams. I had a very specific desire to care for my mom in her later years and every property she chose to add to the list spoke directly to my needs as well as those desires I didn't know I had! Her personality, energy, knowledge and passion made all the difference in my buying decisions. I would work with her over and over again...if you have the opportunity, do yourself a favor and place your trust in Melissa and Magnolia Realty for your real estate needs.
