Penthouse Condo Staging in Chevy Chase, MD

Property Location: 5610 Wisconsin Ave., Chevy Chase, MD 20815 Unit PH 19B This home is a 4,600-square-foot penthouse condo located in Chevy Chase, MD. The condo has two beautiful wrap-around terraces with amazing scenery. We staged the living room, dining room, breakfast room, den, office, patio, primary bedroom, and secondary bedroom. The home needed some fresh paint and wallpaper removal from the dining room to help make the space fresh and bright. What was the process for staging this home in Chevy Chase? Our designer, Angela Dugarte, worked directly with the homeowner and their daughter on this staging project to get this home under contract in 17 days, over the asking price, with multiple offers. Angela and the client met for an initial consultation to review the property and develop a staging strategy for this specific property. During the consultation, we assessed the home's needs and discussed/ made suggestions [...]

DC HOME SELLS FOR $800,000 OVER ASKING PRICE WITH EXPERT STAGING

Property Location:  NW, Washington DC 20016 In this beautiful 4,500-square-foot single-family home located in Washington, DC, we staged the living room, dining room, main bedroom, kitchen, family room, office, and lower-level office. The home was very outdated with a difficult floor plan. The client made a few upgrades (pulling up the carpet to expose the original hardwood and painting most of the walls a neutral color).  Built in 1940 the home originally operated as a doctor's office in the lower-level. The main appeal of this home for buyers was the location and the large backyard with a pool for its DC location. What process did we use to stage this house? We met for an initial consult with the realtor, our designer Jamira Thomas, created a custom design plan and presented it, then we picked the items from our warehouse. The client and realtor were particular in their design style looking [...]

Washington DC Crane Move

Crane Move in Washington DC As a local and long distance moving company, sometimes there are large items that cannot be lifted by our team or items that may not fit in elevator shafts or stairwells and need a crane to hoist from a balcony and brought down to our truck. Last week we moved this property in Washington, DC and we had to call in a crane to help us move items. What items did we move?  This customer had 2 large area rugs, a large antique sofa, and an oversized king-size mattress. It was a liquidating estate move with older items that could not be dismantled to maintain the integrity of the piece. For example, the antique sofa could not be disassembled, and neither could the mattress of course. When do we recommend using a crane? When the items don’t fit in a stairway or elevator and it's over [...]

Long Distance Move from Chevy Chase MD

At Town & Country Movers we are able to move homes or commercial space locally, long distance, and even international. We recently completed this move from Chevy Chase, MD to Olympia, WA. Here is what the customer had to say about their long distance move experience. “We completed our move from Chevy Chase to Olympia, WA. Manuel, the driver came with the packers on 7/1 (the day before the move) and supervised and assisted 3 of your employees in packing our goods for the move on 7/2.” Why did we pack this move the day before? Many times with long distance moves the home owner is moving all their belongings including may be even cars or other large items, so allowing a whole day for packing is important for an efficient long distance move. We also complete an inventory of each item being moved to ensure during the check in [...]

Downsizing and Donations

At Town & Country Movers, we come across many items that customers wish to have donated during their move. We recently came across this beautiful baby grand piano in a home that was being downsized from in Maryland. Donna and Clyde Messerly had a dilemma. After many years living and working in the DC area, they were moving into a retirement home at the beach. The problem was what to do with their cherished Weber baby grand piano? The piano was in pristine condition without so much as a scratch. Efforts to sell the piano were unsuccessful. The couple was heartbroken at the thought of the piano going to the dump. Our team comes across donations and downsizing problems like this all the time, so we recommended donating the piano to our friends at Habitat for Humanity. https://youtu.be/QGkpukKCk-E   Habitat for Humanity Metro Maryland, took most of the other items [...]

What to look for when hiring Movers

3 Factors to select local movers in MD, DC, and Northern VA 1. Reputation One of the most reliable ways of making a good choice when it comes to choosing your moving company is to look at the online reputation of a business. Reviews on sites such as Google, Yelp, and Facebook are a great place to start. On Google, you can see how long the company has been in business for, and what previous clients have to say about their service. Another popular option is to ask your realtor who they recommend. Because realtors help people in the real estate transaction process, they have a good idea which moving companies in DC, MD, and VA offer the best service. 2. Are They Licensed & Bonded For peace of mind, it is always a good idea to choose a moving company that is licensed and bonded. For a company to [...]
