There are so many homes for sale right now in the northern Virginia area, that we have been advising our clients to make their homes shine - I mean really, really shine! Basically, the home has to be perfect. If not, potential buyers will simply buy another one that is close to perfect. Making the home perfest will help get their homes sold quickly and for the highest price.
This is hard for many sellers to accept, especially since many of the homes were bought when it was a seller's market and the buyers had to bid on homes in less than perfect condition.
In addition, many sellers don't have the money to pay for the renovations before they sell. For this reason, we refer them to several contractors who will accept payment for their work at the time of settlement. This makes it easier for most sellers to make the changes now in order to sell their homes quickly and for the highest price. Bob
