Selling Your Home in Collin County
A Plan A, B and C for pricing, marketing I pay for, and negotiation on the whole deal.
You're not only selling a house
If you're thinking about selling, you probably have a question you haven't said out loud yet. What if we list too high and the house sits? What if we list too low and leave money on the table?
That fear is the right one to start with. I'm Omega Mejia, a REALTOR® with Simply Great Real Estate Group at OnDemand Realty in Frisco. I sell homes across Frisco, Prosper, McKinney, Plano, Celina and the rest of Collin County.
My job is to take that fear off the table with a plan, so you can make your next move with confidence. You'll see the numbers and the reasons behind every recommendation before you decide anything.
What you get when you list with me
Most agents put a listing on the MLS and wait. I launch it. I pay for the marketing, and it's part of the listing package, not an add-on. Every listing gets:
- Professional photography, plus drone photos on homes over $400,000
- A 60 to 90 second walkthrough video
- A pre-listing inspection report, shared with buyer agents
- A two-hour staging consultation with my partner stager
- Its own single-property website
- The MLS, plus syndication to the major home search sites
- A promoted listing on Homes.com
- Paid ads, and social posts every week
- An open house the first weekend
- Outreach to the 200 homes around yours
- A weekly update from me, and a monthly price review until you close
Boosted Zillow ads run on select homes. Homes at $800,000 and up get the full luxury plan. See how I market luxury homes.
You see Plan A, B and C before we list
Pricing is where most sellers lose sleep, so I don't hand you one number and ask for trust.
You'll see three plans. Each one has a price strategy, the recent sales behind it, and what we do if the market answers differently than we expect. I tell you which plan I recommend and why. You choose.
Online estimates can't do this. They don't know your updates, your lot or the home competing with yours two streets over. In Prosper and Celina, your home may be competing with a model home. I price against the real competition. If you want a starting point, see what your home is worth.
I negotiate the whole deal, not only the number
The highest offer isn't always the best offer. A strong price can fall apart on weak financing, a low appraisal or a surprise at inspection.
When offers come in, I compare them on what you keep. That includes price, the buyer's financing, the option period, repair requests, appraisal risk, concessions, closing date and possession.
I hold the RENE designation, Real Estate Negotiation Expert. If something changes after you sign, you'll hear it from me fast. The fact, what it means for you, and what I recommend. This changes the plan. It doesn't end the plan.
Four mistakes I help sellers avoid
Choosing an agent on the highest price they quote. A number that's too high gets you a house that sits. Ask any agent to show the sales behind the number.
Spending on prep without a plan. Some updates earn their money back and some don't. We decide before you spend, using the expected return on each one.
Skipping the neighbors. Buyers often come from the same streets. That's why I contact the 200 homes around yours.
Treating the contract as the finish line. The inspection, appraisal and repair requests all come after you sign, and each one can change what you net. I stay on the deal until closing.
If your sale comes with a bigger life change
Most sales sit on top of something else. A move-up, a downsize, a transfer, a loss in the family. I've written a page for each of the common ones:
- Senior moves and downsizing, at a pace that fits you
- Selling an inherited or estate home
- Selling as-is or an investment property

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay extra for your marketing?
No. The photography, video, single-property website, open house, neighbor outreach, and the paid ads and promotion in my listing package are included, and I pay for them.
How do you decide what price to list at?
I show you a Plan A, B and C. Each has a price strategy, the recent sales behind it, and a plan for how the market might respond. I recommend one and you choose.
Do I need to fix things before I list?
Not always. Some updates earn their money back and some don't. We decide together before you spend anything, and a pre-listing inspection shows us what a buyer would find.
How long will my home take to sell?
It depends on your price, your condition and your part of Collin County this month. I won't promise a number. I'll show you the recent sales near you and update you every week.
Can I sell if I haven't found my next home yet?
Yes. We look at your timing and your numbers first, then decide whether to sell first, buy first or line the two up. The order should come from your situation, not a rule of thumb.
How do I choose a listing agent?
Ask each agent for a written plan: how they price, how they market, who you will work with, how often you will hear from them and how they are paid. Compare the plans before you sign. Omega shows you a Plan A, B and C for pricing before you list.
Should I list my house at a higher price?
A higher price can protect against leaving money behind, and it can also cost you the first two weeks, which usually bring the most attention. Omega shows you the sales behind each price so you can weigh both. Read how she prices a Frisco home on the blog.
