One reason sellers like to stage their townhouse is because staged townhouses usually sell faster and for more money. What can you do to get your best price as quickly as possible for a Colonial-style townhouse in a Colonial-style section comparable to Nethergate?
It's no secret that a home that is stuffed with personal chattels is a home that will be harder to sell.
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.
Do you need more storage place to declutter? In closets or in small homes, you can use the back of a door. There are a variety of over-the-door storage products. Some of them are designed specifically for scarves, hats, purses, jewelry, shoes and accessories.
Should you paint before you list?
Because we also do a lot of property management, I can recommend several painters in the City of Alexandria for you to price out a paint job.
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.
How can you make it easier for the buyer to envision your property as his or her home?
The more your townhouse 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.
Depersonalizing is a good idea when you decide to sell.
Sometimes people don't think about their windows and how they can help sell their home. Windows open up space in small rooms and they let light into large rooms.
Are you looking for a budget-friendly DYI upgrade that can move your home fast? Cream or white roman shades are also a good choice. If you want to make them pop, add a dash of color with pretty ribbon trim that can be sewn or glued onto the shade.
