How-To Staging Ideas For A Luxury Condo In The City Of Alexandria

Is it time to sell your luxury condo? When the seller makes the effort to give the buyer feel that the property is his dream home, the buyer has a harder time moving on the next property. What can you do if your home isn't the latest trend? Photo of 10 Duke St #Residence 1-302 From experience I can tell you that home buyers in the City of Alexandria are drawn to homes that have a minimalist interior design theme. Every day fill a box with stuff. Not only will this make your home more presentable, but it will also make moving day less stressful and easier to manage. Get rid of the floor lamps and table lamps. Unless a lamp is critical for showing the home, it should be prepped for moving day and hidden in your storage. New windows are expensive. Window treatments by comparison are relatively affordable. The only thing worse than a non-functional blind, is a partially functional blind. Blinds that don't work obscure your views, impede light and frustrate home shoppers. Photo of 10 Duke St #Residence 1-302 Is it a good idea to paint your home before you list it for sale in Alexandria? 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. It's usually a good idea to reduce contrasting colors wherever possible.   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. If you've loved your home, one of the most difficult chores you'll face is the task of de-personalization. It's time to sell. That means it's time to erase your personal touches. Photo of 10 Duke St #Residence 1-302 Consider these ideas:
  • Place fancy hand towels, perhaps with decorative ribbon around them, on towel racks in the bathroom or kitchen for a splash of interest.
  • Buyers will be impressed if the laundry room is fresh, inviting, and organized. Make sure light bulbs are working, and hide soaps in a cupboard or line them neatly on a shelf.
  • Flowers can brighten a room. A strategically placed plant can be an outstanding focal point.
  • Whenever possible raise the bar of your shower curtain or window treatments to make a space seem more airy.
