About Amy Quimby
Straight Answers. Smart Strategy. Real Estate Without the Guesswork.
I'm Amy Quimby, a REALTORA(R) with HomeSmart serving buyers and sellers across Dallas-Fort Worth. As an Accredited Buyer's Representative, Seller Representative Specialist, and Real Estate Negotiation Expert, I bring more than a decade of experience to every transaction.
My clients don't need more sales pressure - they need better information. I give straight answers, flag problems early, and help you evaluate your options without unnecessary complication.
For Sellers
Before the sign goes in the yard, I help you answer the questions that matter: what your home is worth, what you'll walk away with, whether to sell now or wait, and what buyers will expect. Using market data, competing inventory, recent sales, and property condition, we build a pricing and marketing strategy designed to position your home as strongly as possible.
For Buyers
Finding a listing is easy. Knowing whether it's a smart purchase takes more work. I help you look past the photos - at property condition, inspection red flags, system age, insurance considerations, and resale potential - so you know exactly what you're buying before you commit.
How I Work
Real estate comes with its own language, deadlines, and paperwork. I explain what's happening in plain terms, lay out your options, and make sure you always know what we're working toward and why.
Serving DFW
I work with buyers and sellers throughout Grand Prairie, Arlington, Mansfield, Cedar Hill, Midlothian, Dallas, and the surrounding DFW area - covering listings, buyer representation, market analysis, pricing strategy, negotiations, and contract-to-close guidance.

FAQ
Answered Questions
Nothing surprises me in this market. What city/state is your home in? How much land? Is it a single, double, or triple wide? Have you made any upgrades to your home? I am happy to send you site-unseen offers from 3 large investment firms. Honestly, I believe you would receive more by listing on the MLS....but you just never know. Amy Quimby 817-564-3878
Yes, you should complete a final walkthrough the morning of closing. Not a day or two before, but the morning of closing. I have seen it all: overnight flood, seller hadn't started packing, spraypainted walls.... If the seller agreed to fix or replace electrical or plumbing issues, it is a very good idea to have a certified electrician or plumber double-check the work before closing.
I am not a lender, but I know how to create a net sheet that shows buyers their estimated payment, down payment, and closing costs. I do this before sending them to a lender because if they are only interested in $400k houses but don't want to pay more than $1,800 per month, a preapproval isn't going to change that, unless they have a large down payment and I would have calculated that into the net sheet. Go look at a few houses that you know are within your monthly budget and figure out if the current market even has what you want. Hope that makes sense!
If it can be done, I assure you, the Loan Factory will be the place. Loan Factory Billy Nguyen Cell (469) 585-4498 [email protected] 2505 South Great Southwest Parkway Grand Prairie, TX 75052
I am not going to tell you not to rent to own. I will tell you to be very careful. Homepartners and Divvy are two companies that offer lease with the option to purchase programs. Neither are inexpensive.

I look for foundation movement, water pressure, age of water heater and HVAC, and roof condition.
I am a Realtor, not an appraiser but I can tell you an average full bathroom in DFW will appraise somewhere around $7,000. If the bathroom is smaller, the remodel will cost approximately $4,500, while a large bathroom can be in the neighborhood of $9,000.
First, make sure the lender is able to close your loan within 15 days. Also, there is no harm in increasing your earnest deposit (and/or option fee in certain states).
