Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Looking through your property with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend changes that enhance sales appeal. I'll suggest that you put out of sight anything that gives the impression of clutter. Counter tops should be free and clear. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and play time drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to remove the personal details from the house so buyers can picture it as their new house.

I'll look over every room of your home. Areas that directly affect your sale price include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should get rearranged, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need washing

Potential buyers want a house that invites them inside. Decor that could be "offensive" should go into storage so that your house will have general appeal at the open house.
