Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Looking through your house from a buyer's view, I'll recommend fixes that improve Open House appeal. I'll advise you put in storage anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be neatly arranged. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and play time drawings should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or cluttered spots make your home seem less spacious and buyers have a harder time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

Every room gets a once-over. Enhancements that directly impact your dollars include fixable like furniture pieces that should be removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need cleaning.

I'll ensure your home is appealing and that it's friendly, avoiding "offensive" or "personalized" colors on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can try temporary furnishings. You want your home to look inviting as opposed to uninhabited.
