How Much Difference Can Your Choice of Real Estate Professional Have in the Sale Result?

How Much Difference Does a Fully Furnished versus a Vacant House Have in Driving Buyer Interest?

See How Dramatic a Difference with the House of BCP process.

Another agent listed this TH when empty for 90 days with ZERO offers.

...Even at a lower price.

...Even with the house having nice upgrades & an eye-pleasing wall color throughout.

...Even with historically low inventory & a desirable community like Overlook. 

No offers with little buyer interest to see the house.

The homeowner then asked BCP in mid-January to help sell the house.

• BCP fully furnished our client's empty TH from the "House of BCP" interior design collection for maximum visual impact to drive buyer interest and support higher valuation.

• BCP recommended a higher price based upon unmatched experience selling Overlook houses and knowledge of the relevant TH micro-market.

The Result?  Under Contract in 2 days, just two weeks after first contact from the homeowner.  The homeowner closed the sale just six weeks after first contract, at a new high sale price for this Overlook TH model.

The same house.

But a different agent applying the House of BCP process.

House Details:  The new homeowner can enjoy the upgrades and appointments from every space inside the house.  A focus on the details – both big and small – is apparent throughout the house, from the 12-foot ceiling and wall of windows in the kitchen area, to the upgraded light fixtures, to the bronze hardware on every door in the house, with levers replacing knobs for a more elegant look and feel.

• The kitchen and adjacent seating/eating area each look upon a wrap-around deck that is large enough for three separate seating areas.

Overlook Community Details:

Overlook is a community of 443 homes that surrounds Fairfax County's Bren Mar Park.  This Park-setting is rare for a community located Inside the Beltway, providing not only green space for residents to enjoy, but also immediate access to 395/Beltway/95, with all the Living amenities available in the West End of Alexandria. ​

Dining, shopping, recreational, and cultural options found in Washington DC, Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, and Tysons are within easy reach.

A wide range of regular Life necessities are all within 10-15 minutes from Overlook. The St. James, a 450,000 sq.ft. sport, wellness, and lifestyle complex is a 10-minute drive.

​Entering Overlook, you enjoy a drive up a tree-lined avenue, which gives the Community a feeling of calm apart from the rush of daily Life.

Bren Mar Park provides 32 acres of mature trees, Turkeycock Run stream, Truss bridges, and walking trails for Overlook residents to enjoy.

Overlook's green spaces and the Park, coupled with greater separation from other houses for better privacy, are quality of Life features that are rarely found in a community located inside the Beltway.

Overlook also offers its residents an outdoor pool, playgrounds, walking trails, and tennis/pickleball court.  As seen in the Overlook community video, the Community pool looks more like a Resort-level pool than a typical residential community pool.  Verizon Fios is also available. ​

The Van Dorn Metro is located less than a 10-minute drive.  Bus service from the Overlook entrance at Winter View Drive is a six- minute ride to the Van Dorn Metro. 

Landmark Mall Redevelopment Project ("WestEnd Alexandria"):

Overlook is well positioned for residents to reap “livability” and house valuation benefits from the WestEnd Alexandria development project (formerly Landmark Mall) and other planned projects along the Landmark-Van Dorn Corridor.

On December 22, 2020, the City of Alexandria announced the plan to redevelop Landmark Mall, with Inova as the anchor client and Foulger-Pratt as the local developer.

The video section of this website contains videos with full details on the WestEnd Alexandria project, the new Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus located at WestEnd, and current status of the project (updated through the December 2022 City approval of the development plan for Phase 1 Blocks).

On February 2, 2022, Foulger-Pratt announced that the name of the redevelopment project will be "WestEnd Alexandria."

As part of the project, Inova will build a new World-class hospital complex with a:

• 230 in-patient hospital (all private rooms);
• Level II Trauma Center (1 of 3 in NoVa), providing 24-hour specialty services for brain injuries, complex fractures, and other trauma care;
• Level III NICU;
• Comprehensive cancer care center;
• Advanced services for obstetrics, heart & vascular, & neurosciences; and
• Medical office building for 50 specialty physicians.

WestEnd Alexandria is designed to be a community gathering place for Alexandria's West End, with residential, retail, and restaurants, 3.5 acres of public parks, a minimum of 25% open space for each block, a transit hub, and a new fire station.
