Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the exterior of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What positive characteristics seem to fade into the background?Knowing this assists us in deciding what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't the best it can look on the outside with touched up paint and bright greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer picture themselves lounging in your living room, reading a good book in your spa tub or hosting a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? I want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of easy living. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting changes that highlight the features of your house. I'll advise you put in storage pieces that give the illusion of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator works of art should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or cluttered areas make your home look less spacious and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves calling your property "home".

Every room gets a once-over. Areas that directly affect your dollars include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should be removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

Buyers' agents know that their clients like a residence that brings them inside. Anything that could be unsightly should be put away so that your home will have general appeal at the open house.

Setting the Stage

At every showing, we want to capture buyers' attention. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look around your home and make sure a pleasant fragrance flows room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current home has the potential to be.
