Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the outside of your home, or your curb appeal. Look at the exterior of your home from a street view. What jumps out at you? What wonderful features seem to fade into the background?Understanding this helps us to decide what measures we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with refreshed paint and blooming garden plants we'll need to tackle those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Walking-through your property from a buyer's view, I'll suggest adjustments that build up market appeal. I'll advise you put in storage items that give the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be cleared off. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Ugly or busy areas make your home seem less spacious and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves living there.

I'll review every room of your home. Areas that directly impact your sale price include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should be removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need washing

Buyers expect a property that draws them in with charm. Decor that could be too personal should be removed in order for your property to have general appeal while on the market.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to show your house, because everything comes together to create a picture of what buyers can expect after they close on your house. Dark rooms can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like part the curtains and change light bulbs where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests tour your home and ensure a delightful aroma circulates from every room. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and place pillows on your couch and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current home has the potential to be.
