 Sellers, our goal is to maximize your sales price while meeting your timing needs. Linda's experience in interior design and renovation (she's personally renovated & restored 2 historic houses) will be used to "stage" your house to maximize its visual impact and desirability. It's crucial to price your house properly to maximize the likelihood that there will be competing buyers bidding against each other. Setting the price too high or low discourages this. As one of the most active teams in the Washington DC area, we have the most up to date information on current prices at our command, often before it is published. Our listings sell on average in 1 week at or above the asking price, resulting in extremely pleased sellers. "Your house never looks better than after Linda has prepared it for sale." Ellen J., Chevy Chase, MD "Linda was very knowledgeable, attentive, creative & organized. She acted on my behalf throughout and probably got a higher sales price because of her work." Barbara B., Washington, DC Ask ANY question about selling your home or property. Or request a FREE in-home presentation of how we would market your property in Washington D.C., NW Washington DC, and Chevy Chase, DC! There's no obligation, and we promise to get back to you quickly...

Selling Your Home >Selling and Lock Boxes
Having your house on the market involves a certain invasion of your privacy. Real estate agents will be previewing it and showing it to buyers with some regularity. While you want to make your home reasonably accessible to the real estate professionals and their prospects, you don't want to run the risk of stepping out of your shower just as a broker is ushering in buyers.
In many areas real estate agents use a handy little tool of the trade called a "lock box". When a property is occupied, the agent first calls to let the owner know when they will be coming by. If no one is at home, the agent can get into the house with a key stored in the lock box.
The other extreme of accessibility is to require a day's notice before a showing, and to insist that your real estate agent be present at each one. This will eliminate a lot of the inconvenience to you, but it may also eliminate a lot of showings of your house. Whatever arrangements you work out, keep in mind that the easier you make it for real estate agents to open and show your home, the easier it will be to sell it quickly.
