Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the exterior of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your house from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What awesome features seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this assists us in determining what actions we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't the best it can look on the outside with refreshed paint and colorful garden plants we'll need to tackle those issues. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Examining your house from a buyer's perspective, I'll suggest fixes that build up market appeal. I'll help you eliminate pieces that give the illusion of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Less than inviting or busy spaces make your home feel unkempt and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves calling your property "home".

I know instantly where a room's best characteristics are and how to highlight them. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.

Buyers want to see a home that invites them inside. Decor that could be unsightly should go into storage so that your home will have general appeal while on the market.
