Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the exterior of your home, better known as your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What dollar-earning features seem to fade into the background?Knowing this helps us to choose what steps we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with touched up paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers picture themselves watching a movie in your living space, reading a good book in your reading nook or hosting a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? I want your house to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of ease. I'll help you accomplish this by suggesting small improvements that highlight the features of your property. I'll advise you take away items that give the illusion 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. Ugly or messy places make your home feel smaller and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves living there.

I'll review every room of your home. Improvements that directly impact your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need washing

Buyers' agents know that their clients want a residence that brings them inside. Anything that could be uninviting should be put away in order for your house to achieve mass appeal at every showing.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to host an Open House, because all of the changes come together to paint a picture of what buyers will expect after they choose to buy your house. Brightening up each room is critical, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and reduce shadows where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look around your home and make sure a pleasant scent flows throughout your house. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your chairs and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house has the potential to be.
