Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your first chance to create a positive impact on buyers before they enter your house. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers shape their initial opinion of your house and how you keep up your house's regular maintenance.Understanding this helps us to decide what steps we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with retouched paint and bright garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer picture themselves hanging out in your living space, relaxing in your reading nook or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? I want your house to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of comfort. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting changes that highlight your home's features. I'll suggest that you put in storage items that give the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be free and clear. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator works of art should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or dirty spaces make your home seem unkempt and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves calling your property "home".

I know instantly where 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, carpet needing to get changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively influence the sale.

Buyers' agents know that their clients like a property that seems comfortable. Personal items that could be unsightly should be removed in order for your property to have general appeal at every showing.

Setting the Stage

The entire time your house in on the market, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and assure a pleasant scent flows from every room. We'll include cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your love seat and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house is their future home.
