Real Reviews & Social Proof
SOLD IN 3 DAYS – FOR MORE THAN LIST PRICECindy and The Dunnican Team are outstanding professionals. From the initial meeting to closing, The Dunnican Team was there every step of the way. Their insight and knowledge were key to selling my home for the best price. They were efficient, diligent and maintained constant communication with me. My home sold in 3 days, and closed within 1 week. I highly recommend Cindy and her team of experts if you are looking to buy or sell a property in the DFW area. --R. Bernandini
SOLD IN UNDER 24 HOURSI've worked with The Dunnican Team in the past two years to sell both my house, and my mother's house. They came highly recommended and we worked well together on both endeavors. The Dunnican Team is very professional, and comes packed with up-to-date knowledge on how to sell each individual house. My home sold in less than 24 hours, and my mother's home had a contract within several days of listing. The Dunnican Team quickly responds to any questions involved; and works, works, works to make the seller's task a breeze. I have, and will continue to recommend The Dunnican Team! --J. Molsbee
REPEAT CLIENTWe have used The Dunnican Team for multiple sales and purchases of residential real estate. We always recommend them to friends that are buying or selling, you must absolutely always have their level of expertise when negotiating a contract especially in the market we are in today. You will be well represented by them! –L. Lowe
Real Reviews & Social Proof
SOLD IN ONLY 2 DAYSCory is a true professional. I was very impressed. Interestingly, Cory really didn't say much. He came to our house prepared and
organized. His presentation was short and to the point. I really appreciated the straight forward / no nonsense approach. It wasclear to me that Cory is a very ethical person, as he informed us of worst case scenarios and similar. That said, Cory appeared to by very confident. Our house sold after two days on the market. Closing was super easy. Thank you! –L. Hudnall
UNBELIEVEABLE SERVICECouldn’t have asked for a better agent. Smart, knows her properties and demographics. Easy to reach. Answered every question we had. Unbelievable service in this day and age. --P. Horner
COULDN’T ASK FOR BETTER…Cindy has found the prefect property for me on two occasions. She does her research and finds things others don't find or see. Added to these skills are a wonderful attitude and a terrific person. Couldn't ask for better than Cindy. --J. Fowler
ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND A PERSONAL TOUCHCindy did a fantastic job marketing our home during a very trying market. Her personal touches and attention to detail generatedsignificantly more interest in our home than in comparable ones. When the sale when through all the I's were dotted and T's crossed. I would unequivocally recommend her and her real estate team! --G. Chasen

Physical Attributes• Location
• Age
• Size of House and Lot
• Floor Plan and Architectural Style
Market Conditions• Interest Rates & Availability of Financing
• Buyer Demand
• Prices of Recently Sold Properties
• State of the Economy
• Seasonal Demand
• The Number of Similar Properties for Sale
• Their Prices, Financing Terms, Location &
Physical Condition
Some Factors Have No Effect On
The Current Value Of your Property
• What You Originally Paid For Your House
• The Cash Proceeds You Want or Need From The Sale
• What Friends & Family Say Your Home is Worth
Dunnican AdVantage: Market KnowledgeDetermining The Best Price For Your Property
The higher a property is priced above market
value, the more time it will take to sell and the less
interest it will attract.
• If your property is priced right, more buyers will be
interested when it first hits the market.
• Since buyers base their selection on fair market value,
not the asking price, more buyers will consider your
property when it is priced competitively.
• Lenders rely on independent fee appraisers to verify
that a sale price is at fair market value. Therefore, if a
property fails to appraise at or above the sales price, it
will either force the buyers to make up the difference
in cash or cause the sale to fall through.
Dunnican AdVantage: Market Knowledge
Studies show that the longer a property
stays on the market, the ultimate sales
price is lower. Why?
Determining The Best Price For Your Property
• Buyers believe that something is wrong with
the property.
• Days on market are now available to all
prospective buyers.
• Buyers make lower offers the longer a home
has been on the market.
Proper Pricing & Positioning Yields The Highest Sales Price.

Dunnican AdVantage: Market KnowledgeUnderstanding the Escrow Process in Texas
Sellers Disclosure
• Option periods give the buyer the unrestricted right to terminate during a negotiable period of time.• Most contracts also include other contingencies, such as financing.
The Purchase Offer & Option Periods
• Required by state statute on most residential properties with a few exceptions, including estates and foreclosures.
• Must be completed thoroughly and accurately by seller with no assistance from agent.• When a questions arises over whether an item should be disclosed, we advise our clients to disclose.• We advise sellers to update if any type of inspection is performed or if property condition changes after the
sellers disclosure is completed.
• Title Policy – seller cost in most cases• Home Protection Plan – recommend offering as part of listing price• Buyer Assistance – commonly requested in some markets• Repairs – negotiable but always good to expect that some items will need attention following the inspection
Common Negotiation Points
Dunnican AdVantage: Market KnowledgeA Few Points to Remember
Showing Period

include
• Urgency to sell
• Timing and benefits from your relocation
company
• Willingness to consider an offer less than listing
