Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the outside of your home, or your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from a street view. What jumps out at you? What would've-been-eye-catching characteristics seem to fade into the background?Understanding this assists us in determining what measures we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with retouched paint and bright garden plants we'll need to tackle those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Examining your home from a buyer's view, I'll suggest changes that improve Open House appeal. I'll help you put out of sight things that give the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be neatly arranged. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. You need to "de-personalize" the house so buyers can picture it as their new home.

I'll review every room of your home. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively influence the sale.

Potential buyers want a property that seems comfortable. Items that could be unsightly should go into storage so that your home will impress buyers to buyers.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when for the Open House, because everything comes together to create a picture of what buyers can look forward to when they consider buying your house. Brightening up each room is critical, so we'll do things like open curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests experience your home and make sure a pleasing fragrance flows throughout your house. We'll incorporate cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current home is their future home.
