Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the exterior of your house, also called your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your home from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What dollar-earning characteristics seem waiting to be noticed?Understanding this helps us to choose what measures we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with retouched paint and bright greenery we'll need to tackle those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers see themselves watching a movie in your living space, unwinding in your master bedroom or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? I want your Open House to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of ease. I'll help you do this by suggesting small improvements that enhance your house's features. I'll tell you get rid of pieces that give the impression of clutter. Table and counter tops should be cleared off. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or dirty spots make your home seem less spacious and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves living there.

I know instantly what a room's best features are and how to highlight them. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that could use polishing, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively affect the sale.

I'll make sure your home is neutral and that it's inviting, steering clear of "offensive" or "can't-work-with" colors on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can think about renting furniture. The goal is for your home to look inviting as opposed to uninhabited.

Setting the Stage

At every showing, we want to capture buyers' attention. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a nice scent flows throughout your house. We'll make use of cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your sofa and bedding. Buyers should feel like your house has the potential to be.
