Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Examine the outside of your house from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What awesome features seem waiting to be noticed?Understanding this helps us to choose what steps we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with touched up paint and blooming greenery we'll need to tackle those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer envision themselves enjoying game night in your living area, unwinding in your spa tub or hosting a dinner in your dining room? I want your house to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of easy living. I'll help you accomplish this by suggesting small improvements that enhance the features of your house. I'll tell you put in storage anything that gives the impression of clutter. Tabletops should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and play time drawings should get stored away too. You need to "neutralize" the house so buyers can perceive it as their new house.

I know exactly where a room's best features are and how to highlight them. Enhancements that directly affect your sale price include fixable like furniture pieces that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

With me by your side, you'll know that your home has mass appeal and that it's inviting, steering clear of "offensive" or "personalized" colors on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can try renting furniture. The goal is for your home to look inviting as opposed to abandoned.
