Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the exterior of your house, or your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your home from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What dollar-earning features seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this helps us to decide what actions we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't at its best on the outside with retouched paint and bright garden plants we'll need to address those issues. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Touring your house from a buyer's perspective, I'll advise you of changes that build up Open House appeal. I'll help you take away pieces that give the look of clutter. Table and counter tops should be clutter-free. Kitschy sculptures, souvenirs, family photos, and play time drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to "neutralize" the home so buyers can envision it as their new house.

I'll review each room of your home. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

Buyers like a property that charms them. Decor that could be unsightly should go into storage so that your house will have likability during any visit.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when to show your house, because all of the changes come together to paint a picture of what buyers will expect when they consider buying your house. Dark rooms can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and create light where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and assure a pleasing scent flows throughout your home. We'll incorporate cozy-looking blankets, and throw pillows on your couch and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your current house is their future home.
