9 Small (But Mighty) Home Updates Agents Recommend Before Listing
Sparkling Arlington Refresh
Just a few changes can make all the difference. After addressing some glaring issues with design and appearance, this Arlington listing made a splash on the D.C. market.
A few quick updates were all this luxury townhouse needed. Before the Curbio team in Arlington and the Long and Foster listing agent got to work, the home was being dragged down by unsightly wallpaper, chipped paint, and a dated kitchen. These features were keeping the listing from making its best first impression.
This project proves that by addressing only a few issues, homes can look completely different. If your listings have some major flaws, do not fret. Get a free estimate on the work today.

Often hallways are ignored when it comes to pre-listing updates, but a few simple changes helped the whole upstairs shine. Along with painting the built-in shelving, wainscoting, ceilings, and trim, we also made some lighting updates to add some brightness.
