Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the exterior of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Examine the outside of your home from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What awesome features seem to fade into the background?Knowing this assists us in determining what actions we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with refreshed paint and blooming garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers envision themselves hanging out in your living space, relaxing in your reading nook or hosting a dinner in your dining room? I want your home to welcome buyers and give them a sense of ease. I'll help you achieve this by recommending changes that enhance your home's features. I'll tell you take away things that give the look of clutter. Tabletops should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator works of art should get stored away too. You need to "neutralize" the house so buyers can envision it as their new house.

I'll look over every room of your home. Changes that directly affect your dollars include fixable like furniture pieces that should be removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need washing

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 think about borrowing furnishings. You want your home to look inviting as opposed to bare.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to show your home, because everything comes together to set the stage for what buyers can look forward to after they close on your house. Dark rooms can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to show off your home. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and make sure a pleasant scent circulates room-to-room. We'll make use of cozy-looking throws, and throw pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current home is their future home.
