Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the exterior of your home, better known as your curb appeal. Examine the outside of your home from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What unique features seem waiting to be noticed?Knowing this assists us in deciding what measures we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your house.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers picture themselves watching a movie in your living area, reading a good book in your master bedroom or studying in your home office? I want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of easy living. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting small improvements that enhance the features of your home. I'll advise you reduce the effect of anything that gives the impression of clutter. Counter tops should be free and clear. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or cluttered spots make your home feel smaller and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves living there.

I'll look over every room of your home. Improvements that directly impact your sale price include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should be rearranged, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need washing

Buyers like to see a residence that invites them inside. Personal items that could be unsightly should be put away so that your house will garner mass appeal at the open house.

Setting the Stage

At every showing, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Dark living areas can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like part the curtains and create light where needed to show off your house. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests take a walk-through of your home and ensure a nice fragrance flows throughout your house. We'll incorporate cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your couch and bed. Buyers should feel like your current house has the potential to be.
