Cost-Effective Staging Tips For Sellers With A Property Like 421 Princess St In Old Town Alexandria

Do you want to show your place in the best light for home buyers? If you’ve been thinking of selling your place of residence, you should make sure that you take full advantage of home staging trends. Here's a few ideas of what you can do to get your best price as quickly as possible for a Colonial-style townhouse in a Colonial-style place comparable to Chatham Square? Photo of 421 Princess St Home buyers make offers on homes where they can imagine living. It's easiest for a buyer to imagine his belongings in the property when there are fewer of your belongings in the Colonial. You can hide a lot of clutter using organization solutions, but in the end boxes, containers and racks are tools that can assist, but they aren't magic. Some stuff will just have to go into storage. 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. Photo of 421 Princess St Are your blinds and curtains going to help your place of residence sell? It's time to lose those out-of-style window treatments. Bare windows are preferable to drapes or curtains that don't look great. Photo of 421 Princess St If you're looking at selling your Colonial is it time to paint? 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. When my client asks for my input, I in turn rely on painting and staging professionals. They often tell me that an accent color repeated throughout the home can make the typical neutral colors more visually interesting.

But when you put your home on the market, it's no longer your home. It's a product for sale. How can you make it easier for the buyer to envision your property as his or her home?

  • 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.
  • Do you need design ideas? Visit Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, or Williams-Sonoma. You may already have what you need to look absolutely in style.
  • Flowers can brighten a room. A strategically placed plant can be an outstanding focal point.
  • Leave the corners of a room open. We do this because empty corners extend a shopper’s view of a room. This makes the space feel larger.
