Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your house from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What wonderful characteristics seem hidden?Understanding this assists us in determining what actions we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't pretty on the outside with retouched paint and colorful greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers picture themselves lounging in your living space, relaxing in your reading nook or getting work done in your home office? I want your house to welcome buyers and give them a sense of contentment. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting small improvements that highlight your home's features. I'll advise you put in storage anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Counter tops should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or dirty spaces make your home seem smaller and buyers have a harder time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

I know instantly what a room's best features are and how to show them off. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively influence the sale.

Working together, we'll make sure your home is likable and that it's welcoming, avoiding "loud" or "can't-work-with" colors on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can think about borrowing furnishings. You want your home to look homey as opposed to abandoned.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to show your house, because all of the changes come together to set the stage for what buyers will expect after they choose to buy your house. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like open 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 flows room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your house is their future home.
