Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to make a positive impact on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers create their initial opinion of your house and how you perform home's regular maintenance.Understanding this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with retouched paint and bright greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer see themselves hanging out in your living room, relaxing in your reading nook or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your dining room? I want your house to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of contentment. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting changes that highlight the features of your home. I'll tell you take away items that give the look of clutter. Table and counter tops should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, 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 seem unkempt and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves living there.

I know exactly where a room's best features are and how to highlight them. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

Buyers' agents know that their clients want to see a residence that brings them inside. Decor that could be "offensive" should be put away in order for your property to have likability during any visit.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to open your home up to buyers, because all of the changes come together to paint a picture of what buyers can expect when they consider buying your house. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look at your home and ensure a nice scent circulates throughout your house. We'll add cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current home has the potential to be.
