Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the exterior of your house from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What great features seem hidden?Acknowledging this helps us to choose what we can do to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with retouched paint and bright greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Touring your property from a buyer's view, I'll suggest adjustments that enhance market appeal. I'll tell you put in storage things that give the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be cleared off. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and play time drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to "neutralize" the home so buyers can imagine it as their new home.

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

Buyers like a residence that seems comfortable. Decor that could be "loud" should go into storage so that your home will have likability during any visit.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to show your home, because everything comes together to paint a picture of what buyers can look forward to after they close on your house. Brightening up your interior is critical, so we'll do things like open curtains and reduce shadows where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and ensure a nice scent circulates room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking throws, and place pillows on your love seat and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your home is their future home.
