Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your only chance to make a positive impact on buyers before they enter your house. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers create their initial opinion of your house and how you perform house's regular maintenance.Understanding this helps us to decide what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't at its best on the outside with retouched paint and blooming garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to 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? Walking-through your property with a critical eye, I'll recommend changes that improve Open House appeal. I'll advise you eliminate items that give the appearance of clutter. Counter tops should be neatly arranged. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and play time drawings should get stored away too. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Unsightly or busy spots make your home feel unkempt and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves calling your property "home".

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

Potential buyers like to see a home that brings them inside. Decor that could be too personal should be removed so that your house will impress buyers at every showing.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to host an Open House, because everything comes together to paint a picture of what buyers will expect after they close on your house. Dark rooms can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like open curtains and add lighting where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and ensure a delightful aroma flows from every room. We'll add cozy-looking blankets, and throw pillows on your couch and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your house has the potential to be.
