Is it time to stage your $439,000 home comparable to 5932 Seabright Rd in 22152? If a real estate agent loves your dwelling, the agent will want to show it to clients.

Photo of 5932 Seabright Rd Nearly every home buyer shopping in Springfield, Virginia wants to live in a clutter-free space. However, for many real estate sellers, the idea of sorting through and removing all that unused stuff can feel like a tiring and intimidating chore. Here are a number of suggestions to make decluttering is easier than it seems, and help you sell your townhouse quickly for the best price. I can assist you to throw a reverse housewarming party! We'll get rid of unwanted items before your first open house by letting friends, family, neighbors and interested parties help you put the home in order. The space in your closet above your clothes rack is usually wasted. You can put this space to work with easy-to-install pull-down rods. Install the rod anywhere near the ceiling and substantially increase the usable room in your closet.   Have you thought about your window treatments? Textures, floral prints and wild patterns almost never help you sell your home. Box those window treatments now! Photo of 5932 Seabright Rd It's about time to sell your property. Does that mean it's time to look at selling your interior color scheme? Have you ever noticed that builders go with a simple color scheme? Unlike most property owners, builders sell a lot of houses and they have learned, as my experience has taught me, that a simple color scheme is best. Vibrant colors, patterns and vibrant colors usually don't work well for home sellers in Fairfax County. Wallpaper can be very risky as well.   When you decide to sell, you have to think seriously about removing some of your personal indulgences. Your home is your most personal space in your life. But when it's on the market, it's no longer a home. It's a townhouse for sale and it will soon be someone else's home. Your home is a personal statement about who you are. But when you put your home on the market, it's no longer your home. It's a product for sale. Photo of 5932 Seabright Rd Look at these ideas:
  • If you choose to add pleasant smelling items to a home, don't stray from basic universally appealing scents such as vanilla, apple, cinnamon, pine and lemon.
  • An empty home is not as appealing as a sparsely decorated home.
  • Arrange furniture to maximize floor space but to create conversation zones where a buyer can imagine chatting with friends or family.
  • I often think that cinnamon and vanilla are the best smells when trying to sell a home. You can let these toast in the oven on the day of an open house.
