Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to make a positive impact on buyers before they step foot into your house. The positive and negative features that jump out at buyers form their initial perception of your house and how you keep up your house's regular maintenance.Understanding this helps us to decide what we can do to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with retouched paint and bright garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer picture themselves watching a movie in your living room, unwinding in your spa tub or getting work done in your home office? I want your house to welcome buyers and give them a sense of contentment. I'll help you do this by recommending small improvements that enhance your house's features. I'll suggest that you put out of sight items that give the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Kitschy sculptures, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to "de-personalize" the home so buyers can imagine it as their new house.

I know exactly where a room's best features are and how to show them off. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, 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 influence the sale.

Buyers' agents know that their clients want a house that charms them. Personal items that could be uninviting should be removed in order for your house to have likability at the open house.

Setting the Stage

During your Open House, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses. Dark rooms can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like open curtains and change light bulbs where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing lightly and make sure a nice scent circulates room-to-room. We'll make use of cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your love seat and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house has the potential to be.
