Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the outside of your house from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What positive features seem waiting to be noticed?Understanding this helps us to decide what measures we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with retouched paint and bright garden plants we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer envision themselves lounging in your living area, unwinding in your master bedroom or studying in your home office? I want your house to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of ease. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting changes that enhance your house's features. I'll tell you eliminate items that give the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and play time drawings should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Ugly or cluttered areas make your home feel unkempt and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves calling your property "home".

I'll review every room of your home. Improvements that directly affect your sale price include fixable like pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need washing

Potential buyers like to see a house that brings them inside. Personal items that could be "loud" should go into storage so that your house will garner mass appeal at the open house.

Setting the Stage

At your Open House, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and ensure a nice scent circulates throughout your home. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your sofa and bed. Buyers should feel like your home is their future home.
