Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Looking through your house with a buyer's eye, I'll advise you of changes that enhance sales appeal. I'll tell you put out of sight anything that gives the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be cleared off. Kitschy sculptures, souvenirs, family photos, and play time artwork should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Ugly or cluttered places make your home look less spacious and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves living there.

I know instantly what a room's best features are and how to highlight them. Areas that directly impact your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need washing
