Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer picture themselves lounging in your living area, relaxing in your spa tub or hosting a dinner in your dining room? I want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of comfort. I'll help you accomplish this by suggesting changes that highlight the features of your property. I'll suggest that you reduce the effect of pieces that give the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be cleared off. Kitschy sculptures, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. You need to remove the personal details from the home so buyers can imagine it as their new home.

I know instantly where a room's best characteristics are and how to show them off. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to get changed, fixtures that need brightening, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively impact the sale.
