Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Look at the exterior of your home from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What positive characteristics seem waiting to be noticed?Acknowledging this assists us in determining what measures we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't the best it can look on the outside with touched up paint and colorful garden plants we'll need to address those as well. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Walking-through your property with a critical eye, I'll advise you of arrangements that build up Open House appeal. I'll tell you put out of sight anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator works of art should get stored away too. You need to "neutralize" the home so buyers can see it as their new house.

I know exactly what a room's best characteristics are and how to highlight them. Areas that directly affect your sale price include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should get removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

With me by your side, you'll know that your house has mass appeal and that it's inviting, avoiding "loud" or "can't-work-with" shades on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can consider borrowing furniture. You want your home to look lived in as opposed to cold and empty.

Setting the Stage

During your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like open curtains and add lighting where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a nice fragrance flows throughout your house. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your love seat and bed. Buyers should feel like your current home is their future home.
