How To Interest Home Buyers Looking At Buying A Premium Home In Arlington County

What steps can you take now when you don’t know what to do first? What are the best paint colors for selling a high-rise condo in Arlington? We all know that neutral colors are not exciting, but you should also know that they are best when you're selling your home. Because we also do a lot of property management, I can recommend several painters in Arlington County for you to price out a paint job. Photo of 1021 Garfield St N #533 It's time to sell. That means it's time to erase your personal touches. When you decide to sell, it's time to return the home to a less personal space. If you've loved your home, one of the most difficult chores you'll face is the task of de-personalization. Photo of 1021 Garfield St N #533 Your home doesn't need to be picture-perfect but it should be an “artist-ready” piece of canvass. I can guide you to throw a reverse housewarming party! We'll get rid of unwanted items before your first open house by letting friends, family, neighbors and interested parties help you put the home in order. 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.

Blinds that don't work obscure your views, impede light and frustrate home shoppers. Photo of 1021 Garfield St N #533 Here's a few more suggestions:
  1. Replace your light bulbs with higher wattage bulbs. Brighter light bulbs make a big difference when your selling a home.
  2. Clean you entire house. Then clean it again. After you've done that twice, pay a professional cleaner to come in and make the home sparkle.
  3. Replace dark furnishings with glass or metal furnishings. Dark antique woods are beautiful but glass is see-through and creates a more open feel.
Get to know the neighborhood and what's for sale. How does your high-rise condo measure up against other high-rise condos for sale in 22201? Your shopper is going to pay a premium for the privilege of owning real estate in Arlington. But that same buyer is going to expect a lot.
