About Us

WELCOME to myTXhomeforsale.com., owned and operated by Brian Scalf and Becky Ervin, homeowners in Abilene Texas. Brian works as a firefighter and Becky is a self-employed financial services representative, neither are realtors. We recently joined the Abilene Chamber of Commerce to further demonstrate our commitment to Abilene and the surrounding area.

We have used realtors in the past and have bought and sold homes ourselves. By selling our own homes we realized that we pocket a lot more money at closing. It was scary the first time we did it for several different reasons. By developing this web page we hope to take the uncertainty out of buying and selling your own home. When you decide to sell your home there are many factors to consider. We think we have taken all these factors into consideration and developed this site accordingly.

Selling your home yourself is not rocket science. No one knows your home better than you do, so who should be the one selling it? Nearly three out of four homebuyers now use the Internet as a tool when searching for a home according to the 2003 National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. Listing your home with myTXhomeforsale.com allows you flexibility several ways. First, buyers can view your property any time, day or night, rain or shine! This lets you know when you are contacted that at least the buyer has seen something that interests him/her beyond the price. Second, with seven pictures and a 1000 word description you can showcase, and tell of, many features in your home affordably. Third, by listing your home at myTXhomeforsale.com you have opened up the market beyond the boundaries of your city. By supplying an e-mail address in your contact information you can receive inquiries that don't interrupt meals, football games, etc.. You can send answers and set up viewings this way as well, all at your convenience. And you have done it on your own and without the hassle of an open house. Another survey by the NAR states that only 2 percent of open houses are successful.
