The Staging Advantage: How This Townhome Went Under Contract Instantly

Staging That Sells: The Busy Blondes Difference

When it comes to selling a home, presentation isn’t optional — it’s everything. With our latest listing, we worked closely with the seller to prep, stage, and strategically position the property. The result? Under contract in 0 days.

Yes — zero.

Why Staging Matters

Even in a competitive Northern Virginia market, how a home looks and feels when buyers first walk through the door makes a powerful difference. Updated features matter, but so does how those features are showcased. That’s where a thoughtful staging plan comes in.

However, it's not all about pretty soap dishes and matching towels. Here are just a couple of changes we made, in addition to many other staging tequniques we used:

• In the primary suite, we removed bulky furniture and dark brown curtains to highlight the light-filled, open space.

• In the second bedroom, we repositioned the desk away from the window, instantly making the room brighter and more inviting.

• On the lower level, we moved bikes and extra furniture to let the natural light flow and showcase the fireplace and walk-out access.

These intentional changes helped buyers see the full potential of every space — and that first impression paid off.

Updated and Move-In Ready

The home itself is a showstopper: fully remodeled in 2021 with hardwood floors, quartz countertops, recessed lighting, and a spa-like primary suite with rain head shower. With modern upgrades and community amenities like a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and green spaces, this Fairfax townhouse had everything today’s buyers want.

But here’s the truth: even with great features, buyers won’t always notice unless the home is staged, prepped, and marketed strategically.

Strategy + Staging = Results

We don’t just list a home — we create a plan. From prepping and staging to marketing and positioning, we make sure the property looks its absolute best the moment it hits the market. That top-notch presentation leads to more eyes on the home, more interest, and stronger offers.

And in this case? It meant zero days on the market.
