Before Listing Your DC Home For Sale
Thinking about listing your DC home for sale, but unsure of the steps to take and in which order? To avoid unnecessary spending and effort, follow this guideline.
Will I recoup my Expenses On Resale?
It’s a valid concern. The potential costs of updating a DC home are often higher than anticipated–but so are average returns on those investments.
Compare the estimated cost of repairs and updates to projected return on investment (ROI). You’ll typically net a good deal more for an updated home than one that buyers perceive as dated and worn.
Let’s talk it through before you make any expenditures.
Where Should I Start?
Your first impulse might be to dive into your long-ignored ‘to do’ list before contacting a real estate agent. That would be a mistake 100% of the time. Why? Because you may blow your budget on things that won’t net the best returns, forego addressing issues that make your home more valuable, and make choices that you like, but potential buyers won’t.
Preparing a home for sale is literally the process of packaging a personal living space into a marketable product. It’s what we do. Let us.

Susan and Alex are amazing! After a bad experience with another agent left us in a very tough position, they turned everything around. They did a thorough evaluation of the property, offered expert advice and helped to prepare the condo for sale. They worked very hard, used local connections and communicated with us well. Despite the tough August market, we sold in less than 2 weeks.
