Are you pondering the best way to market your home? One reason sellers like to stage their home is because staged places in the City of Alexandria usually sell for more money and they sell faster. What steps can you take now to make website clicks turn into visits and visits turn into buyers?
Nearly every shopper shopping in 22302 wants to live in a clutter-free space. However, for many homeowners, the idea of sorting through and removing all that unused stuff can feel like a tiring and intimidating chore. Here are a few bits of advice to make decluttering is easier than it seems, and help you sell your garden-style condo quickly for the best price.
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.
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.
Have you thought about your window treatments?
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.
What about your garden-style condo's color choices?
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.
Sometimes, painting means just the front door. Your front door really is your home's first impression. For whatever reason, gray and navy front doors seem to fetch more money!
If you've loved your home, one of the most difficult chores you'll face is the task of de-personalization.
What do stagers mean by depersonalizing to your home to sell it?
When you decide to sell, you have to think seriously about removing some of your personal indulgences.
Look at these suggestions:
- Whenever possible raise the bar of your shower curtain or window treatments to make a space seem more airy.
- 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.
- How about writing a one-page letter detailing non-so-obvious benefits you've enjoyed while living at your home. I'll print it on some fancy paper or put it on our website.
- 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.
