The McCrory Team Ebby Halliday, Realtors

The McCrory Team   Ebby Halliday, Realtors Real Estate Why Choose The McCrory Team? What Can We Do For You? Experience: Susan has been a REALTOR® since 1985, and Thomas has been a REALTOR® since 1991.

The McCrory Team realizes that assisting clients with the purchase or sale of one of their largest financial assets requires strong representation coupled with the ability to provide a smooth transaction. Their success is a direct result of a desire to put service and the needs of their clients first in order to help them achieve their real estate goals. The McCrory Team's objective is to provide a highly personal approach along with aggressive marketing and negotiating strategies to create excellent representation for both buyers and sellers. Their 40 years of combined experience supplies a valuable ability to understand the market and provide insight into things such as the history of neighborhoods, builders' typical practices, and how to work with relocation companies to their clients' best advantage, for example. Through the years the mother and son team have earned the loyal support of satisfied clients who form the core of a strong referral network. As a result of their success, they have been recognized through the years with office and company awards and recognition by D Magazine as "A Best Residential Real Estate Agent." The team serves a wide ranging area of the Metroplex and works comfortably with both pre-owned homes and new construction. We have sold over $160,000,000 in volume and have negotiated countless contracts - for both pre-owned homes and new construction. We have been on the Ebby Halliday Relocation Team for listings and buyers and have participated in most of the major company relocations throughout the Metroplex. We work with all relocation companies and understand their special forms and requirements. We have worked with bank foreclosures through the years on both sides of the transaction. Knowledge: We take 15 hours of continuing education every other year. This includes updates in legal topics and ethics. This enables us to stay current with recent changes in real estate laws to better represent clients. We also take a minimum of 6 hours of education through the Ebby Halliday, Realtors Training Program. This includes courses on Appraisal Guidelines, Effectively Representing Diverse Cultures, Technology Updates and much more. In addition, the Frisco Office provides monthly "Lunch and Learn" sessions that give mini seminars on timely topics for Realtors. Susan and Thomas both hold the Certified Residential Specialist Designation (CRS), a designation held by only 4% of the nation's real estate agents, and they belong to the Council of Residential Specialists. This designation indicates an extra level of experience, commitment and knowledge which will be an advantage for buyers and sellers. The McCrory Team also holds the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation, and a membership in Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council. Both of these designations are conferred by the National Association of Realtors and have production and education requirements to acquire. The Council provides constant industry information about trends, new technology, marketing techniques and related topics to keep CRS and ABR designees at the top of the real estate community. Commitment to Service and Integrity: The McCrory Team believes strongly in personal service and integrity. While we have the help of an assistant who manages our office, you are never "turned over" to an assistant once you contact us. You will be speaking directly with one of us when you call with a question or request. We will be the ones to show you homes, help you establish a list price, follow up on your transaction with the lender and title company as well as oversee numerous other facets of the purchase or sale. As a team, we work together to provide an even higher level of service than a single agent, and many times, even a large group can achieve. If one of us is unavailable, you can quickly reach the other and always be assured of talking to the agent you hired to represent you. "Selling Fine Homes Is a Family Tradition" is not just our motto; it is part of our philosophy. We treat every family or client we work with like a member of our family and provide exceptional personal service to each and every one. Results: We know that not everyone has the exact same real estate goals, but we also recognize that no matter what the goal is, every client wants to reach their goal with the greatest success and the least difficulty. We are results driven and achieve success for our clients by listening to them carefully, focusing on their needs, employing cutting-edge technology,
utilizing dynamic specialized marketing techniques, maintaining a determined never quit attitude, and using negotiating skills practiced for decades and designed to achieve our clients' goals. That's why...

You just need to know what deserves a closer look.If you're planning to buy, contact me. I'll help you look beyond what photographs well and focus on the things that could matter long after you move in.

If you're selling, pricing correctly from day one is critical. Overpricing can lead to longer market times and larger price reductions later. Strong curb appeal, staging, and property presentation are also becoming increasingly important as inventory grows.For several years, sellers had the advantage. But in some areas, the market is becoming more balanced, giving buyers more choices and more negotiating power.Many successful sellers are also offering incentives such as closing cost assistance, home warranties, or mortgage rate buydowns to attract buyers.The market may be changing, but homes that are priced well, presented well, and marketed strategically are still selling. Flexibility and preparation can make all the difference.

Home values have climbed for over a decade, yet many people still drastically underestimate how much equity they've built. That equity can fund upgrades, investment property, debt consolidation, a move-up purchase, or a lifestyle change. If you're curious what options your equity gives you, I can break it down in minutes...no pressure, just clarity.

Not every renovation needs to pay for itself to be worthwhile. Some improvements add resale appeal, while others are valuable because they make your home more comfortable and functional while you live there.Before remodeling, ask yourself: Am I improving this for me or for a future buyer? Kitchens, bathrooms, curb appeal, fresh finishes, and needed repairs can improve marketability, but expensive, highly personalized upgrades may not return their full cost.If you expect to sell soon, it's especially important to avoid over-improving for your neighborhood or spending money where buyers may not value it.Thinking about a renovation? Contact me before you start. I can help you consider how buyers in our local market may view the improvement.

Many homeowners don't think about replacing major systems until something stops working. Unfortunately, emergency replacements often come at the worst possible time and can be more costly than planned upgrades. Understanding the expected lifespan of your HVAC system, roof, water heater, and other key components can help you budget ahead and avoid surprises. If you need recommendations for trusted local contractors or want to discuss improvements that may affect your home's value, I'd be happy to help.

Knowing the expected lifespan of your home's major systems can help you plan ahead, avoid costly emergencies, and protect your investment.

09/29/2026

That new roof, kitchen remodel, HVAC system, or room addition may be worth remembering for more than the enjoyment it provides today. Qualifying capital improvements can increase your home's tax basis, which could potentially reduce taxable gain when you eventually sell. But years from now, will you remember exactly what you did and what it cost? Keep invoices, receipts, permits, contracts, warranties, and photos in a permanent home improvement file. If you'd like help understanding which home records are worth keeping for a future sale, give me a call.

One of the biggest myths about buying a home is that you need perfect credit. While a higher credit score can help you qualify for better loan terms, many loan programs are available to buyers with less-than-perfect credit. FHA, VA, USDA, and even some conventional loans have different credit score requirements, and lenders may have flexibility depending on your overall financial picture. Don't assume you're not qualified without checking first. A conversation with a trusted mortgage officer can help you understand your options, identify ways to improve your eligibility if needed, and determine the best loan program for your situation. If you'd like a recommendation to a knowledgeable mortgage professional, I'd be happy to connect you.

One of the regrets sellers make is spending too much on upgrades they may never recover. Before listing, focus on repairs that improve a buyer's first impression: fix obvious maintenance issues, freshen up paint, improve curb appeal, deep clean, and declutter. Expensive remodels often don't return their full cost, especially if the finishes don't match what buyers want. The goal isn't to create a brand-new home; it's to present a well-maintained one that appeals to the widest range of buyers. Before investing thousands of dollars, let's walk through your home together. I can help you identify which improvements are worth making and which ones you can confidently skip.

One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is assuming every improvement requires a full‑scale remodel.Simple smart home features like programmable thermostats, video doorbells, smart locks, security cameras, and energy-efficient lighting can modernize your home and improve everyday living. Many buyers appreciate these features because they add convenience, security, and potential energy savings without a huge investment. If you're considering upgrades before selling, or simply want to increase your home's functionality, focus on improvements that offer broad appeal rather than expensive gadgets with limited value. Wondering which upgrades make the most sense for your home and your market? I'd be happy to help you prioritize projects that provide the greatest benefit today and the best return when it's time to sell.
