Staging Hints For Sellers With A Colonial-Style Residence In Arlington, Virginia

Is it about time to list your high-rise condo? One reason sellers like to stage their home is because staged high-rise condos usually sell for more money. What can you do to improve your chances of selling quickly for the best price? Photo of 1001 Vermont St #303 Home buyers make offers on homes where they can imagine living. It's easiest for a home shopper to imagine his belongings in the property when there are fewer of your belongings in the residence. 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. Is it just too good to throw away but not worth selling right now? Give it to a friend. That assists both of you. Photo of 1001 Vermont St #303 What about your windows? Keep it simple is the theme today. And this applies to window treatments as well. Try light colors or neutral colors for curtain panels, draperies, blinds, or shades. Photo of 1001 Vermont St #303 Whenever you're selling your high-rise condo in Arlington, do you need to paint your dwelling? It's a good idea to paint before you put a home on the market. This is one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can do. 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. Photo of 1001 Vermont St #303 When someone looks at your high-rise condo, they're trying to decide if this will be their 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 high-rise condo for sale and it will soon be someone else's home. Depersonalizing is a good idea when you decide to sell.

  • If your kitchen is a little drab you can add a lot of color by placing some candy in clear canisters. Jelly beans, coated candies, foil wrapped candies can all add interest to photo and a room.
  • A sparsely decorated home sells better than a fully decorated, even well decorated home.
  • Unless you have an unlimited budget of money and time (and none of us do) focus your energy on key areas. Bathrooms and kitchens usually return the best bang for the buck.
  • Switch plates, cabinet handles, and small pieces of housing hardware are an inexpensive and effective update.
