Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your only chance to create a positive impact on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers shape their initial opinion of your house and how you perform home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this helps us to decide what plan of action we can use to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with retouched paint and bright garden plants we'll need to tackle those as well. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Examining your home with a buyer's eye, I'll suggest adjustments that improve market appeal. I'll suggest that you put out of sight things that give the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' drawings should get moved out of sight. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Disheveled or busy spots make your home look less spacious and buyers have a more difficult time seeing themselves living there.

I know instantly what a room's best features are and how to show them off. I'll point out 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 could use polishing, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively influence the sale.

Buyers like a home that brings them inside. Items that could be "offensive" should be removed so that your home will achieve mass appeal while on the market.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when for the Open House, because all of the changes come together to create a picture of what buyers can look forward to when they consider buying your house. Brightening up each room is critical, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look around your home and assure a delightful scent circulates throughout your home. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your couch and bed. We want buyers to feel like your home has the potential to be.
