Photo of 4500 Four Mile Run Dr #1013 You already know the less clutter in your Contemporary, the larger the high-rise condo will look and feel to potential home hunters. Remove anything that requires an opinion. What does that mean? Anything that people either love or hate, probably should be crated and prepared for moving day. Is it just too good to throw away but not worth selling right now? Give it to a friend. That guides both of you. Photo of 4500 Four Mile Run Dr #1013 Every aspect of your home should be geared toward making your home more appealing. This includes your blinds and curtains. Textures, floral prints and wild patterns almost never help you sell your home. Box those window treatments now! Photo of 4500 Four Mile Run Dr #1013 What are the best paint colors for selling a Contemporary in Arlington? It's usually a good idea to reduce contrasting colors wherever possible. If your home was a movie, you'd want it to be a blockbuster. A big part of that movie's success is the background music in your movie. The paint is the background music that sets the stage for your home to shine. Photo of 4500 Four Mile Run Dr #1013 What do stagers mean by depersonalizing to your home to sell it? 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 Arlington County, the first thing you'll want to do is de-personalize it. Photo of 4500 Four Mile Run Dr #1013 Look At these suggestions:
  • 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.
  • Replace your light bulbs with higher wattage bulbs. Brighter light bulbs make a big difference when your selling a home.
  • Consider putting flowers on your front step, or a wreath on your door, or a decorative plant in the foyer.
  • Arrange furniture to maximize floor space but to create conversation zones where a buyer can imagine chatting with friends or family.
