Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to create a strong first impression on buyers before they walk into your home. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers shape their first opinion of your home and how you upkeep home's regular maintenance.Understanding this assists us in determining what steps we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't pretty on the outside with touched up paint and bright garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers picture themselves enjoying game night in your living room, relaxing in your master bedroom or getting work done in your home office? I want your home to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of contentment. I'll help you do this by recommending changes that highlight the features of your property. I'll advise you put in storage items that give the illusion of clutter. Table and counter tops should be neatly arranged. 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. Disheveled or busy areas make your home seem smaller and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves living there.

I'll review every room of your home. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to get changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively impact the sale.

Working together, we'll make sure your house is likable and that it's inviting, avoiding "loud" or "too-bright" shades on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can try temporary furniture. The goal is for your home to look ready to live in as opposed to bare.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to host an Open House, because all of the changes come together to create a picture of what buyers can envision after they close on your house. Brightening up your interior is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to show off your house. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and make sure a delightful scent circulates throughout your house. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your chairs and bedding. Buyers should feel like your home is their future home.
