Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the exterior of your home, better known as your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the exterior of your home from a street view. What do you notice first? What unique characteristics seem hidden?Knowing this helps us to choose what we can do to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with retouched paint and bright greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Touring your home from a buyer's view, I'll suggest adjustments that build up Open House appeal. I'll help you eliminate anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be free and clear. Knickknacks, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get stored away too. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Less than inviting or busy places make your home look unkempt and buyers have a more difficult time seeing themselves calling your property "home".

I'll review every room of your home. Areas that directly affect your bottom line include fixable like furniture pieces that should get rearranged, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

Buyers' agents know that their clients like to see a property that invites them inside. Personal items that could be too personal should get moved out so that your home will impress buyers to buyers.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to host an Open House, because everything comes together to create a picture of what buyers can envision when they consider buying your house. Brightening up your interior is of major importance, so we'll do things like part the curtains and reduce shadows where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests tour your home and assure a nice fragrance circulates from every room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your sofa and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your home has the potential to be.
