Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your first chance to create a positive impact on buyers from a street perspective. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers form their initial perception of your house and how you keep up your home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to draw buyers from the street and into your home.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Looking through your home from a buyer's view, I'll suggest changes that enhance market appeal. I'll suggest that you take away pieces that give the impression of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and play time artwork should get moved out of sight. You need to "generalize" the home so buyers can imagine it as their new home.

I know exactly what a room's best features are and how to highlight them. Areas that directly impact your dollars include fixable like pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.
