Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the exterior of your home, better known as your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your home from a street perspective. What do you notice first? What awesome features seem hidden?Knowing this helps us to choose what plan of action we can use to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't attractive on the outside with refreshed paint and blooming garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Examining your home from a buyer's view, I'll advise you of fixes that improve Open House appeal. I'll suggest that you eliminate things that give the illusion of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be neatly arranged. Kitschy sculptures, souvenirs, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or messy spaces make your home feel smaller and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves calling your property "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 get changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively impact the sale.

I'll ensure your house has mass appeal and that it's inviting, avoiding "loud" or "can't-work-with" hues on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can think about temporary furnishings. The goal is for your house to look inviting as opposed to bare.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when to open your home up to buyers, because all of the improvements mesh together to set the stage for what buyers can expect when they consider buying your house. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like open curtains and create light where needed to show off your property. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests take a walk-through of your home and assure a pleasant scent circulates from every room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your couch and bedding. Buyers should feel like your home is their future home.
