Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your only chance to make a positive impact on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers form their initial thoughts about your home and how you keep up your home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this helps us to decide what we can do to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't at its best on the outside with refreshed paint and blooming 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 lounging in your living space, unwinding in your spa tub or hosting a dinner in your dining room? I want your house to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of contentment. I'll help you do this by suggesting changes that enhance the features of your home. I'll tell you take away anything that gives the impression of clutter. Tabletops should be cleared off. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Disheveled or dirty places make your home look less spacious and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves calling your property "home".

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

Buyers want to see a property that invites them inside. Anything that could be too personal should be put away in order for your house to garner mass appeal at the open house.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to show your house, because all of the changes come together to create a picture of what buyers will expect after they close on your house. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and create light where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing lightly and assure a pleasant fragrance circulates throughout your house. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and throw pillows on your couch and bed. Buyers should feel like your current home has the potential to be.
