Real Estate For Sale By Owner Hampton Roads

We are currently looking for some interior design specialist here in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, or anywhere else in Hampton Roads, Virginia.  We are expanding our real estate services to include a "Prepare to Sell" Service for home-owners looking to sell their home in the near future.

 The first step to selling a home is preparation.  You should never, ever, ever attempt to sell your home prior to preparing your home for sale.  You will be leaving money on the table if you don't adequately prepare, and you may let qualified buyers slip through your fingers.  In order to sell your house, you should do the following things:

1. Enhance the curb appeal of your home.  This may include painting the front door, cleaning up any messes in the front yard, landscaping, updating your outside light fixtures, taking the trash cans around back, buying some potted plants for around the front door, among other things.
2. Move as much of your belongings out of the home as possible.  Clearing clutter is absolutely essential for maximizing the offers that buyers make.  You may want to get a storage unit, and move old furniture or clutter to the unit, so your home looks open and spacious.  Take down any family photos, pictures, and items that personalize your place.  Prospective buyers do not want to see these things.
3. Update the light fixtures in the house.  You can update all the fixtures in a home for less than a couple of hundred dollars.
4. Paint the entire place.  Off-white is the easiest color to paint, because you don't have to be careful with your cut-lines, which are the lines between the walls and ceiling.  You should be able to paint an entire house off-white within a couple of days, and spend less than a couple of hundred dollars.
5. Hire an interior decorator.  Spending $2000.00 to help stage your home for selling, should make it easier to sell your home, and should help you get top-dollar when selling.

If you are an interior decorator, or a home-renovator, or a home-owner seeking our services, please give us a call at 724-1428.
