Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the outside of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your home from a street perspective. What jumps out at you? What awesome features seem to fade into the background?Knowing this helps us to decide what we can do to draw buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with refreshed paint and colorful garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer picture themselves watching a movie in your living area, relaxing in your spa tub or hosting a dinner in your dining room? I want your home to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of comfort. I'll help you do this by suggesting changes that enhance the features of your property. I'll tell you get rid of items that give the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be free and clear. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator works of art should get stored away too. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Unattractive or dirty spaces make your home feel smaller and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves calling your property "home".

I'll look over each room of your home. Improvements that directly impact 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 polishing, and windows that need washing

Potential buyers want a home that charms them. Everything that could be "offensive" should get moved out in order for your house to garner mass appeal to buyers.
