wandafears: Staging in Historic Bon Air - 07/18/17 11:15 AM

This beautiful home in Bon Air Historic District was occupied by the same owner for 20 years. A wonderful and generous woman, holding numerous potlucks that the whole community looked forward to, you can imagine how “settled in” the home became after two decades of entertaining. Like many big life changes, finally deciding to sell after so many years wasn’t an easy decision for the owner.
Our team at Treehouse Realty VA worked with the owner to get her home market ready! In under 30 days, we managed to get this amazing home decluttered, repaired and staged for market, where it lasted … (0 comments)

wandafears: The Luxury Home Market - 05/30/17 07:38 AM

“In the luxury home market, you have to deliver a turnkey, move-in-ready product that is architecturally forward-thinking with high-tech design," suggests The Residential Specialist, and I agree. The ability to properly convey these details to potential buyers is critical.
Of course, a luxury property needs to be staged to the hilt. I often bring in art and decor that fits the space and appeals to the luxury buyer. “You have to mirror back the reflection of the person who could live there.”
 
 
If for whatever reason you can’t stage a property or room for the photo shoot, you can have the rooms digitally “staged” … (3 comments)

wandafears: Boots to Suits, an EWX Clothing Drive for Veterans - 05/01/17 08:09 AM

  On May 24th The Extraordinary Women's Exchange (EWX) will be holding a clothing drive to benefit the “Boots to Suits” program run by the Junior League.  We felt this philanthropic endeavor would be a perfect way for our EWX attendees, which I am a member, to give back. Details: Boots to Suits is a clothing voucher program for male and female Virginia veterans transitioning from military life to civilian careers. Above all, we are looking for items that are in good condition, what we like to call "gently used".  Particularly for our veterans, we want to prepare them to make a great first impression when interviewing for or starting … (0 comments)

wandafears: Union Hill: Nationally Registered, Locally Loved! - 04/27/17 12:00 PM
 
 Many visitors to this area pass through unaware they have entered the nationally registered historic neighborhood of Union Hill.  One tell-tale sign that you’re in Union Hill is the uniquely designed streets. Rather than following the traditional gridlike the adjacent Church Hill and Shockoe Valley, this East-End neighborhood’s roads compliment the hilly terrain on which it sits, as originally designed by John Adams and Ben Mosby.       The architecture of Union Hill boasts a variety of antebellum styles and with the neighborhood being largely developed pre-WWI, there are only a few newer examples of modern structures. Union Hill remains quite the … (0 comments)

There are many reasons the Real Estate market doesn’t come to a screeching halt during the winter months. Clients have to move for jobs, families get bigger, or some are looking to make budget cuts. Either way, the great news about home shopping in the off-season is big savings!
This is especially true of homebuyers looking in major metro areas.

The trend continues downward into the winter months … (1 comments)

wandafears: 4 Reasons Fall is a Great Time to Sell - 09/19/16 07:09 AM

It can’t be argued that most Realtors will tell you Spring is the best time to showcase your home for sale. There’s heightened foot traffic, and after the long winter months, people are ready to buy. However, there’s a downside to selling in the Spring— more competition. Other sellers are thinking exactly the same thing, so the competition to get your home sold in a flooded market is intense. However, we are currently entering the next best season to list your home— Autumn!
Here are 4 reasons why listing this Fall is the way to go!
During Richmond’s typical Indian summer, you … (0 comments)
