Sneaky Staging Ideas For Home Sellers With A House Like 9801 Orchid Cir

Is it time to sell your home like 9801 Orchid Cir in Fairfax County? What can you do to sell your property in a Colonial-style neighborhood? A staged house attracts more buyers and more real estate agents, because staging makes it easy for visitors to visualize the dream of feeling at home. Photo of 9801 Orchid Cir From experience I can tell you that home buyers in Fairfax County are drawn to homes that have a minimalist interior design theme. You can hide a lot of clutter using organization solutions, but in the end boxes, containers and racks are tools that can help, but they aren't magic. Some stuff will just have to go into storage. Does decluttering seem a little overwhelming? That's probably because you need a system. I suggest you try the “category method”. Go into each room with these four categories: trash, give away, keep, or relocate. Each and every item should go into one of these categories. You'll thank yourself on moving day and on the day we ratify your contract to sell. Photo of 9801 Orchid Cir New windows are expensive. Window treatments by comparison are relatively affordable. Of course, when we stage a home in Fairfax County, we always want to maximize the natural light in every room. If a particular room has a truly awful view that you are trying to hide, it still may be advisable to open your blinds and curtains to let more natural light into a living space.

Wallpaper can be very risky as well. It's usually a good idea to reduce contrasting colors wherever possible. Photo of 9801 Orchid Cir If you've loved your home, one of the most difficult chores you'll face is the task of de-personalization. If you're going to sell your property, you'll going to want to make it easy for a buyer to imagine a future in the home. When you buy a home the first thing you'll want to do is personalize it. When you sell a home in Fairfax County, the first thing you'll want to do is de-personalize it. Photo of 9801 Orchid Cir Consider these ideas:
  • Whenever possible raise the bar of your shower curtain or window treatments to make a space seem more airy.
  • Replace dark furnishings with glass or metal furnishings. Dark antique woods are beautiful but glass is see-through and creates a more open feel.
  • Paint a picture with outdoor furniture. A deck, porch, balcony or patio can come to really be enticing.
  • Clean you entire house. Then clean it again. After you've done that twice, pay a professional cleaner to come in and make the home sparkle.
