Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your first chance to create a positive impact on buyers before they enter your home. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers form their first thoughts about your home and how you keep up your home's regular maintenance.Understanding this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to draw buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with refreshed paint and bright greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Touring your house from a buyer's perspective, I'll advise you of fixes that enhance Open House appeal. I'll tell you put in storage anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to remove the personal details from the home so buyers can picture it as their new house.

I know exactly what a room's best characteristics are and how to highlight them. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.

Potential buyers like to see a residence that draws them in with charm. Anything that could be uninviting should be removed so that your house will garner mass appeal during any visit.

Setting the Stage

During your Open House, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses. Dark rooms can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like part the curtains and add lighting where needed to show off your home. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and ensure a delightful aroma circulates room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current house is their future home.
