Home Staging CAN make a difference when done the right way.  Interior Concept Designs offers Professional Home Staging in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC.  We were contacted by the listing Realtor on this Reston town home a week before it was going to be listed.  She was panicked because she needed a Staging Consultation, there was no furniture in the dining room, she needed furniture for the sunroom and she needed this all done in less than one week!  "NO PROBLEM" we said.   We specialize in meeting tight deadlines. We keep an inventory of furniture, artwork and accessories on hand; this … (1 comments)

home staging in virginia: Does Home Staging Really Sell Homes Faster? - 04/02/07 11:09 AM
Does Home Staging Sell Homes Faster?
I get asked that question frequently, and it is a valid question.  Here is how I answer it.  The Realtors that I talk to and work with tell me that homes are sitting on the market anywhere from 60 - 150 days or more in their respective markets.  Why?  Well, there are a variety of reasons from being priced wrong, to location, to condition; the recent problems in the mortgage industry certainly isn't going to help. 
However, all this aside, I can tell you that Professional Home Staging certainly does seem to provide an advantage in helping … (1 comments)

home staging in virginia: Selling your home? Don't leave it empty. - 03/23/07 11:31 AM
By: D. Malden
Here is the scenario: you have to move next month to a new home in another State.  You hope to sell your existing home quickly but in the interim it will sit on the market desolate.  What to do? You pack up all your things and leave your sale in the hands of your competent Realtor, right?  WRONG!!!
Instead, you need to leave your current home in a state that is appealing to the average home buyer.  An empty house will NOT evoke warm emotions from a potential buyer.    Go "shopping" in your own home and look for items … (1 comments)

Preparing your home for sale
Written by: D. Malden
I keep hearing from realtors that the spring market is picking up.  More listings are coming on the market and more buyers are surfacing. If you are considering listing your home for sale, DON'T FORGET to invest the time to make sure your home shows well to potential buyers.  Buyers form an initial opinion on your home in under 60-seconds; make every second count.

home staging in virginia: Top three things to do when showing a listing: - 02/12/07 09:34 AM
Top three things to do when showing a home/listing:  
I compiled this list based on common questions asked by realtors and what I see on consults and in open houses.
1:  Clean & odor free- your house should be spotless.  Hire a professional cleaning company to clean your home. Open the windows frequently to let in fresh air
2: Lights - let in the natural light.  Open drapes, blinds, etc and turn on all lights.  A well lit room appears larger and shows better.
3: Less is more - pack away unused furniture and personal collections.  Showcase the space in your house vs your … (0 comments)
