Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the exterior of your home, or your curb appeal. Look at the exterior of your house from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What wonderful characteristics seem waiting to be noticed?Understanding this helps us to choose what steps we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with retouched paint and blooming garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers envision themselves watching a movie in your living space, relaxing in your master bedroom or getting work done in your home office? I want your Open House to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of contentment. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting changes that enhance your house's features. I'll help you put out of sight things that give the impression of clutter. Tabletops should be cleared off. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and play time artwork should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or dirty areas make your home feel less spacious and buyers have a more difficult time seeing themselves calling your property "home".

I'll look over each room of your home. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to get changed, fixtures that could use polishing, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively impact the sale.

Buyers' agents know that their clients expect a residence that seems comfortable. Decor that could be unsightly should get moved out in order for your property to achieve mass appeal at the open house.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when to open your home up to buyers, because all of the changes come together to set the stage for what buyers can expect after they choose to buy your house.
