Do you want to move your 2-bedroom Colonial-style property like 2000 Dinwiddie St N in Arlington, Virginia? If a real estate agent loves your semi-detached home, the agent will want to show it to clients. So, when you stage your semi-detached home, chances are that real estate agents will send you more buyer clients. What should you proactively do to sell your Colonial in a Colonial-style place?
Your home doesn't need to be picture-perfect but it should be an “artist-ready” piece of canvass.
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.
Countertops, console tables, open-shelving , tabletops, bed side tables—because any flat surface—looks best with as little as possible on display. These items are personal in nature and might not be of any interest to a purchaser.
What about your windows?
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.
What are the best paint colors for selling a home in Arlington?
Some may say that painting every single room the same color is an artistic cop-out. But when you're selling your home, especially in a smaller property, a simple color scheme can help the buyer focus on the property rather than your design choices.
Vibrant colors, patterns and vibrant colors usually don't work well for home sellers in Arlington County. Wallpaper can be very risky as well.
Depersonalizing is a good idea when you decide to sell.
The more your semi-detached home looks like your home, the less it's someone else's home. You want the buyer to be able to see the property as his or her home.
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 semi-detached home for sale and it will soon be someone else's home.
Consider these ideas:
- If you have a room that is snug remove superfluous furnishings. For example, remove nightstands in a smaller bedroom. Remove end-tables from a smaller living room.
- A sparsely decorated home sells better than a fully decorated, even well decorated home.
- How about the home's scent? You can run few lemon wedges through the garbage disposal for a bright natural scent.
- Rearrange furniture to maximize floor space. When you place furnishings in your residence you maximize your home's livability. When you place furnishings in a home for sale, you want to maximize the home's appeal.
