Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your first chance to create a great first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers form their initial opinion of your home and how you upkeep home's regular maintenance.Understanding this helps us to decide what plan of action we can use 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 tackle those issues. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Walking-through your house with a critical eye, I'll advise you of changes that improve market appeal. I'll suggest that you put in storage anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and play time drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to remove the personal details from the house so buyers can perceive it as their new home.

I'll review every room of your home. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

I'll make sure your house is neutral and that it's inviting, avoiding "loud" or "personalized" colors on the walls and furniture. And if the house is empty, you can try temporary furniture. You want your home to look inviting as opposed to abandoned.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when to open your home up to buyers, because all of the improvements mesh together to set the stage for what buyers can envision after they choose to buy your house. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and create light where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a delightful aroma flows room-to-room. We'll make use of cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your couch and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your current house is their future home.
