Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer see themselves enjoying game night in your living space, relaxing in your spa tub or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? I want your house to welcome buyers and give them a sense of ease. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting small improvements that enhance your house's features. I'll help you get rid of items that give the appearance of clutter. Counter tops should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get stored away too. You need to "generalize" the home so buyers can see it as their new house.

I know instantly where a room's best features are and how to highlight them. Improvements that directly affect your sale price include fixable like furniture pieces that should get removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need cleaning.

I'll make sure your home is neutral and that it's inviting, steering clear of "loud" or "can't-work-with" shades on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can consider renting furnishings. You want your house to look homey as opposed to bare.
