Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to make a great first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers create their first opinion of your home and how you keep up your house's regular maintenance.Understanding this assists us in determining what measures we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Touring your home with a critical eye, I'll suggest adjustments that build up market appeal. I'll help you take away anything that gives the impression of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator artwork should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or busy spaces make your home feel smaller and buyers have a harder time picturing themselves living there.

I'll look over every room of your home. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively influence the sale.

I'll make sure that your home is neutral and that it's friendly, avoiding "offensive" or "too-bright" hues on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can consider renting furniture. The goal is for your house to look inviting as opposed to barren.
