Three Steps to Selling Your Home
-
1. PREPARE
We’ll go through your home and suggest updates, repairs, landscaping and staging when necessary. We’ll discuss the best time to put your home on the market.
-
2. PRICE
We’ll coordinate with our home service professionals and then schedule photos and videos once the work is complete. We’ll review comparable homes and the current market to determine pricing.
-
3. PROMOTE
Your listing goes live on the MLS and is ready to be seen by buyers. We assist with the home inspection walk-thru, contract negotiations and settlements. Time to celebrate!
We differentiate your property from the competition
We’re here to take the stress away from selling your home in Northern Virginia or Maryland. We work hard to develop the best sales strategy for your home, which includes design consulting to increase your home’s value.
With our background in architecture, interior design, and development, we recommend and oversee renovations and repairs to help you sell at a higher price and can even help you renovate your new home, too.
We’re not your average real estate firm. We’re local, family-run and “boutique” — meaning we give you the undivided attention, caring support, and personal service. We charge 4.5% of your sales price with no additional broker administrative fees.
“In Northern Virginia, the median house price rose to $685,000 for April 2022, a 7% increase over April 2021.”

Working with a realtor will streamline the entire process, help you prepare to get the house market-ready, and get access to the MLS and marketing tools.

When it comes to selling your home quickly, your key consideration should be the price.

Reducing clutter, small repairs, fresh paint, a tidy garden, and thorough cleaning will do wonders.
