Home Seller Tips for Northern Virginia Real Estate

Spring has sprung in Northern Virginia and homeowners are confident in selling their homes in Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, DC! But first, a bit of spring cleaning is in order, especially outside your Northern Virginia homes to boost curb appeal. Homebuyers in Northern Virginia real estate will notice curb appeal right from the start and with these tips you can make a great impression:

Spruce Up the Yard
When a homebuyer first spots your home in Northern Virginia, it's the outside that catches their eye. So start with the yard! If you have a messy yard, a homebuyer will walk through the door with an unfavorable idea of the property. Clean up the yard, removing all debris and weeds from sight. Next, be sure to mow your yard to a short length and trim all flowers, shrubs, and trees.

Power Wash
Winter has been harsh and undoubtedly left its mark on your home. Now that it's spring, it's time to wash away all dirt and grime that may be present after those long months. Present a clean image to a homebuyer and they will enter your home with optimism, especially given the level of confidence in the Northern Virginia real estate market now. 

Add Landscaping
Landscaping might be on the minds of many homeowners this spring, but take it seriously if you're preparing to sell. Plant flowers, add new trees, well-manicured shrubs and edging to complete your yard this season. Consider your home's landscaping and others you've noticed in the area— if you're impressed by a particular home's yard, take note. Other homebuyers would likely be impressed by the same at your home.

Shed Some Light
When you've boosted your home's curb appeal, you've increased your likelihood for homebuyers to put the property on their must-see list. Add exterior lighting or replace your current fixtures to bring everything to light even after dark. If a homebuyer happens to drive by the property after dark, the beauty of your home will still shine through.
