Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to create a great first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers shape their first perception of your home and how you perform home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this helps us to choose what steps we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with touched up paint and blooming greenery we'll need to address those issues. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Touring your house with a critical eye, I'll suggest changes that build up Open House appeal. I'll advise you eliminate things that give the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be cleared off. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' artwork should get stored away too. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Unattractive or busy spaces make your home seem less spacious and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves living there.

I'll review every room of your home. Improvements 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 steaming, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

Potential buyers expect a property that charms them. Decor that could be "offensive" should be removed so that your house will impress buyers while on the market.

Setting the Stage

At your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like open curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests experience your home and assure a pleasing scent circulates from every area. We'll incorporate cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your house is their future home.
