Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your only chance to create a strong first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers form their initial thoughts about your house and how you keep up your home's regular maintenance.Understanding this helps us to decide what actions we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't the best it can look on the outside with touched up 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

Could a buyer picture themselves hanging out in your living room, reading a good book in your reading nook or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your dining room? I want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of easy living. I'll help you achieve this by recommending changes that enhance the features of your home. I'll tell you put out of sight anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator artwork should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or busy spots make your home feel smaller and buyers have a more difficult time seeing themselves living there.

Every room gets a once-over. Areas that directly impact your sale price include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should get rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

I'll make sure your home is neutral and that it's comfortable, steering clear of "offensive" or "too-bright" colors on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can consider borrowing furniture. You want your home to look inviting as opposed to deserted.

Setting the Stage

At every showing, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like part the curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests experience your home and make sure a nice fragrance circulates room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your home is their future home.
