When it comes to marketing your home, more and more buyers are purchasing homes virtually. They are buying homes sight unseen, but they may also be curious about what's nearby and want to know what their commute times may be.
When marketing the home at 4676 Kell Lane in Stonegate, I wanted to highlight the convenience of Stonegate and point out nearby landmarks such as Shirlington, The Pentagon, and Crystal City. Take a look at the 'What's Nearby' video for the property:
This home was also owner occupied, so when it came to preparing the home for sale, the owners did as much of the prep as they could, so as not to have contractors entering the home. Also, they chose to sell the home as-is, meaning the buyers were welcome to conduct their home inspections, but would not ask for repairs. This strategy presents a win-win for both parties because the sellers are able to limit the volume of people coming to the home, and the buyers are in charge of selecting their contractors for any repairs or cosmetic updates that they wish to make, and have the work completed on their timeline, and moving into the home after any work is finished.
The homeowners also took advantage of their home equity and moved out to the suburbs, gaining a spacious home, more functional floor plan with dedicated home office space, and a yard. If you currently own a home in Alexandria and are ready to trade your stairs and close quarters for a yard, let's talk!
