Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Examine the outside of your home from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What awesome characteristics seem waiting to be noticed?Knowing this helps us to choose what steps we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with touched up paint and colorful 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

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Looking through your property with a critical eye, I'll recommend changes that enhance market appeal. I'll advise you eliminate pieces that give the illusion of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Less than inviting or busy areas make your home look unkempt and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves calling your property "home".

I'll review each room of your home. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively impact the sale.

I'll make sure your home is neutral and that it's inviting, steering clear of "offensive" or "personalized" hues on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can think about renting furniture. You want your home to look lived in as opposed to barren.

Setting the Stage

In the short time that your house will be on the market, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and change light bulbs where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and assure a nice scent circulates room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your sofa and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current home is their future home.
