Selling Your Home in Barcroft Forest
Your home prepared, staged and marketed to win, with the prep work covered at no additional cost.
Selling Your Home in Barcroft Forest, and What You Get
Selling your home in Barcroft Forest usually means selling a rambler built around 1950, or one of the neighborhood's colonials or duplexes. Buyers will tour similar homes in nearby neighborhoods that same week, so yours needs to look fresh and well kept.
We make that happen for you. The White Glove Home Sale Method™ covers painting, handyman repairs, caulking, staging, deep cleaning, carpet and window cleaning, power washing and landscaping. We also haul away what you are not taking and drop off donations at the charity you pick. None of it costs you extra.

Why Barcroft Forest Sellers Choose The Mike Webb Team
The Mike Webb Team is Mike and Claudia Webb with RE/MAX Allegiance. In more than 34 years we have helped more than 2,500 families buy and sell, and about three out of four of our sales are in Arlington. From October 2025 through September 2026 we listed 11 homes in ZIP code 22204, which includes Barcroft Forest.
In those 12 months, 11 of our 24 listings were on the market 10 days or fewer. We never promise that for a particular home. A house that is ready and priced right from the start has the best chance.
Claudia oversees the crews, the timeline and the marketing. Mike and Claudia negotiate your offers together.
A seller in nearby Barcroft wrote on Zillow that we were “extremely helpful throughout the process of getting our house ready to go on the market, including bringing folks in to spruce up the landscaping, fix up some old siding, and deep clean the inside of the house.”
How We Sell a Barcroft Forest Home
Every house here has had its own updates over the years, so the plan starts with yours:
- Assess: we walk through the house and yard with you and compare them with recent 22204 sales of similar homes.
- Prepare: keep, fix, improve or skip, one item at a time. A 1950 rambler often shows best with fresh paint, clean floors, a bright basement and a tidy yard.
- Position: we show you what buyers will compare your home to and recommend a price. The decision is yours.
- Launch: professional photography, a 3D tour, floor plans, paid social media ads and open houses.
- Negotiate and Move: we go over every offer with you and stay with you until closing day.
If your house needs a bigger update, like new flooring, a kitchen, a bathroom or a roof, eligible sellers can use our Concierge Services™. Approved work is done before you list, and you pay at closing, with no upfront cost, interest or fees.
What Barcroft Forest Buyers Like
Buyers here are usually buying their first home, and they like what Barcroft Forest offers: a house with its own yard and no homeowners association. Barcroft Park, 65 acres at 4200 South Four Mile Run Drive, has lighted ball fields, batting cages, playgrounds and a picnic shelter, with the Four Mile Run Trail running through it, and Columbia Pike and Shirlington are a short drive away.
The neighborhood is served by Abingdon Elementary School, Thomas Jefferson or Kenmore Middle School depending on the address, and Wakefield High School, and we point buyers to the current Arlington Public Schools boundary map.
Homes are taking longer to sell than in the spring. In 22204, homes that sold from July through September 2026 averaged 54 days on the market and about 97.2% of their original list price, according to Bright MLS, and Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, up from 3.0 a year earlier. Detached houses face the least new competition: NVAR reported condo and townhouse listings in its Northern Virginia region up 49.7% from a year earlier in September 2026, compared with 5.7% for detached homes.
