Photo of 5904 Mount Eagle Dr #406 When it comes to decor for sellers, less is definitely more. Box up anything you don't use on a daily basis. You'll need to box it to move it anyway and small things take up an inordinate amount of space. This includes collectibles, kitchen gadgets, tools, jewelry, photos, toys and tech. Every day before listing fill a box with stuff. Not only will this make your condo more presentable, but it will also make moving day less stressful and easier to manage.

Replace them with sheer curtains that cut down on glare but let the light in the home. Photo of 5904 Mount Eagle Dr #406 If you're selling your condo in Alexandria, do you need to paint your home? Probably. You can save a lot of money by painting yourself. On the other hand, if you can't do a professional job, you're much better off paying a painter to make your property look great. Soft whites, plaster gray, and very subtle colors can make the walls recede from the eye and make your home a blank canvass for the next owner. “Greige,” a pale gray with a beige undertone, is one of the most versatile colors for staging. This pale taupe is a cool, sophisticated hue that can elegantly complement most furnishings.

When you sell a home in Fairfax County, the first thing you'll want to do is de-personalize it. So, when you decide to sell, you have to think seriously about removing some of your personal indulgences. Photo of 5904 Mount Eagle Dr #406 Consider these ideas:
  • Unless you have an unlimited budget of money and time (and none of us do) focus your energy on key areas. Bathrooms and kitchens usually return the best bang for the buck.
  • Close all your drains, sinks, and tubs. Close all the lids on all the toilets.
  • Dried flowers and candles in complementary colors are an inexpensive way to add interest in a nondescript bathroom.
  • Use mirrors to create more space. Full-length mirrors, framed mirrors, mounted mirrors can help make a room look brighter and feel bigger.
