Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the exterior of your house, also called your curb appeal. Examine the outside of your house from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What unique characteristics seem to fade into the background?Understanding this assists us in deciding what actions we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't the best it can look on the outside with refreshed paint and colorful garden plants we'll need to tackle those as well. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Touring your house with a buyer's eye, I'll suggest arrangements that build up market appeal. I'll advise you get rid of items that give the look of clutter. Table and counter tops should be free and clear. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and play time drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to "de-personalize" the house so buyers can perceive it as their new home.

I know exactly what a room's best characteristics are and how to show them off. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

I'll ensure your house has mass appeal and that it's friendly, staying away from "loud" or "personalized" hues on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can think about renting furniture. You want your house to look lived in as opposed to barren.
