Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the exterior of your home, also called your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your house from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What wonderful features seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this assists us in deciding what measures we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't at its best on the outside with refreshed paint and blooming garden plants we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Looking through your home with a critical eye, I'll advise you of fixes that enhance sales appeal. I'll suggest that you eliminate anything that gives the look of clutter. Table and counter tops should be cleared off. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or cluttered places make your home look unkempt and buyers have a harder time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

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

With me by your side, you'll know that your house has mass appeal and that it's friendly, steering clear of "offensive" or "can't-work-with" colors on the walls and furniture. And if the house is empty, you can consider renting furnishings. You want your home to look homey as opposed to uninhabited.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to show your home, because everything comes together to create a picture of what buyers can expect when they consider buying your house. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like open curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look at your home and ensure a pleasing scent circulates room-to-room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your sofa and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house has the potential to be.
