Decorating Tips for Home Sellers in 22307

6727 WILLIAMS DR, Alexandria VA, 22307
Cape-Cod style single family home in Bucknell
These tips for home sellers in 22307 are effective across Northern Virginia. Whether you're in Bucknell Manor, River Towers, Belle View or Belle Haven, when potential buyers step into your house, they want to see a clean, neat and attractively decorated house. What buyers do not want is a home that is so overly decorated they can’t imagine their own furniture and possessions in the house. Home buyers are not impressed with
  • Too many shelves  -- This can say that the home doesn't  have enough room.
  • Tables with knickknacks -- Sellers want buyers to look at the home, not the knickknacks.
  • Family pictures at every turn -- Pictures can tempt the buyer to figure out who the seller is instead of how the home might work for them.
  • Too many overstuffed sofas piled with pillows -- Many of the older homes in 22307 are a smaller scale than buyers from other parts of the country might be accustomed to.
  • Toys -- This includes grown men toys. (One home we showed had a motorcycle in the living room.)
  • Anything that hides the architectural and structural features of a home.
Here are a few tips on keeping a minimalist approach to your home decorating in 22307.Continue reading

If you overprice your condominium, you risk waiting and watching without traffic or feedback.  On the other hand under-pricing your condo means minimizing your investment. The starting point for pricing should be based on recent sales in Montebello, not on personal attachment. Regardless of what you think your condominium is worth, the pricing should be based on market value - this is why it's important to find a good real estate agent, like Julie Nesbitt, who is familiar with the 22303 zip code who has worked and sold in this area for years. Julie starts by looking at what other comparable condos in the Huntington area have sold for. This is called a comparative market analysis (CMA). Continue reading
