Curb Appeal Checklist
Curb appeal is your only chance to create a positive impact on buyers before they walk into your house. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers shape their initial thoughts about your home and how you keep up your home's regular maintenance.Knowing this assists us in deciding what measures we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with touched up paint and bright garden plants we'll need to tackle those issues. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.
Welcome Home Checklist
Does your house seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Touring your home with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend adjustments that enhance sales appeal.
I'll suggest that you eliminate things that give the appearance of clutter. Tabletops should be neatly arranged. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. You need to "de-personalize" the home so buyers can perceive it as their new home.
Every room gets a once-over. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that need brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.
Buyers expect a house that charms them. Personal items that could be unsightly should be removed in order for your home to have likability while on the market.
Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when to host an Open House, because everything comes together to paint a picture of what buyers can envision when they consider buying your house. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like open 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 ensure a delightful scent circulates from every room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your couch and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house is their future home.
