Where families start

Most families come to us unsure where to begin. Here's what the first conversation covers:

  • ✓ What the home could sell for — as-is or prepared
  • ✓ What to do with a lifetime of belongings
  • ✓ Who handles cleanout, repairs, and staging
  • ✓ A simple timeline from first step to closing

Sell As-Is, or Prepare for Market?

There's no single right way to sell a family home. Some families need a quick, uncomplicated sale. Others want to make strategic improvements that can increase the home's appeal and potential proceeds. We help you compare both paths clearly — before you decide.

Path 1

Sell As-Is

A straightforward sale with little or no preparation — often the right call when speed, simplicity, or an out-of-state family makes convenience the priority.

  • • Probable as-is sale price
  • • Fastest, most convenient timeline
  • • Leave belongings and repairs behind
  • • Ideal for vacant or inherited homes
Path 2

Prepare for Market

Strategic — not excessive — improvements and staging that can broaden the buyer audience and lift final proceeds, coordinated hands-on by our team.

  • • Probable price after preparation
  • • Priority repairs, cleaning & staging
  • • Discounted staging from our own inventory
  • • Broader retail-buyer marketing

Working with Heather Tinglov has been the very best experience I have ever had with a realtor. I was living out of state managing an estate for a family member who had passed. The house was full of stuff and needed a fair amount of work… she arranged multiple contractors, and it was all completed for $15,000 in just a few short weeks. She had the home staged and it was not recognizable from just four weeks ago. We got multiple offers the first weekend it was listed — and sold for a fair amount over asking.

Working with Heather of the Lonestar Living Team at Coldwell Banker Apex was truly a luxury experience — not just once, but twice. She helped us purchase our home in McKinney and then, years later, sell it in a very different market. While sellers were listing high and selling low, Heather came in with a clear, thoughtful strategy that led to a cash offer over list price. Her staging team was incredible… She made a complex process feel easy, intentional, and well-managed. We highly, highly recommend her.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Logan and the Lonestar Living Team! Logan didn’t just list our home — he came in with a full game plan. He brought his dump trailer so we could declutter and depersonalize, then showed up with their box truck and staged the home beautifully. It looked like a model home. We listed exactly where he recommended, and after open houses the first weekend we ended up in multiple offers — with the best contract terms for our timeline.

Working with Logan Naylor and the Lonestar Living Team was hands down one of the best decisions we made when buying and selling our home. From day one, they treated us like family and made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and stress-free. Their strategy was next level — staging, professional photos, and a strong marketing plan that made our home stand out. On the buying side they were always available, quick to respond, and incredibly knowledgeable. You’re never just another transaction to them.
