Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the exterior of your home, better known as your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the outside of your house from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What wonderful characteristics seem hidden?Acknowledging this helps us to decide what steps we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with touched up paint and blooming greenery we'll need to tackle those issues. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Examining your property with a critical eye, I'll recommend fixes that build up Open House appeal. I'll advise you eliminate pieces that give the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and play time artwork should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or dirty spaces make your home look unkempt and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves living there.

I know instantly what a room's best characteristics are and how to show them off. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively impact the sale.

Buyers want a home that brings them inside. Anything that could be uninviting should be removed in order for your home to achieve mass appeal at the open house.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when for the Open House, because all of the improvements mesh together to set the stage for what buyers will expect after they choose to buy your house. Brightening up your interior is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and reduce shadows where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and ensure a pleasant scent flows room-to-room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking throws, and place pillows on your chairs and bed. Buyers should feel like your home is their future home.
