Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to create a great first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers create their first thoughts about your house and how you perform home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this helps us to decide what actions we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't the best it can look on the outside with refreshed paint and bright greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Touring your house with a buyer's 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 impression of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be cleared off. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' works of art should get moved out of sight. You need to "generalize" the house so buyers can picture it as their new house.

Every area gets a once-over. Areas that directly impact your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need cleaning.

I'll make sure your home is neutral and that it's inviting, staying away from "loud" or "personalized" colors on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can try temporary furnishings. The goal is for your house to look lived in as opposed to deserted.

Setting the Stage

The entire time your house in on the market, we want to capture buyers' attention. Brightening up your interior is critical, so we'll do things like open curtains and reduce shadows where needed to show off your house. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and make sure a nice aroma circulates throughout your house. We'll add cozy-looking blankets, and throw pillows on your love seat and bedding. Buyers should feel like your house has the potential to be.
