6. Edge the grass around walks and trees plus add fresh mulch to your planting beds.
7. Purchase a new mailbox.

While many real estate agents still use the old fashion "PFA" (Pulled From the Air) method to determine the fair market value of your Northern Virginia home, we'll remove all the guesswork when your home is evaluated. Your Northern Virginia home will be priced properly using current data to perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). In the CMA, we'll collect and compare data for homes that have recently sold in your neighborhood. This system will analyze Northern Virginia homes that are comparable to yours in terms of house size, lot size, improvements, locations, and schools.
