Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the outside of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your home from a street view. What do you notice first? What positive features seem waiting to be noticed?Understanding this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with retouched paint and bright 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

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Touring your home from a buyer's perspective, I'll recommend arrangements that enhance sales appeal. I'll suggest that you eliminate anything that gives the impression of clutter. Tabletops should be cleared off. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and play time drawings should get stored away too. You need to "de-personalize" the house so buyers can imagine it as their new home.

Every area gets a once-over. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need new paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that need shining, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively affect the sale.

Working together, we'll make sure your house has mass appeal and that it's friendly, avoiding "offensive" or "too-bright" colors on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can consider borrowing furniture. You want your home to look lived in as opposed to vacated.

Setting the Stage

At your Open House, we want to capture buyers' attention. Brightening up your interior is critical, 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 make sure a pleasing aroma circulates from every room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your chairs and bed. Buyers should feel like your current home is their future home.
