Curb Appeal
First, look at the outside of your home, also called your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What dollar-earning features seem to fade into the background?
Knowing this helps us to choose what steps we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't the best it can look on the outside with retouched paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home
Could a buyer picture themselves lounging in your living room, reading a good book in your master bedroom or studying in your home office? We want your house to welcome buyers and give them a sense of easy living. I'll help you accomplish this by recommending changes that enhance your house's features.
I'll suggest that you put out of sight anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and play time artwork should get moved out of sight. We need to "neutralize" the place so buyers can picture it as their new place.
I'll look over each room of your home. Areas that directly impact your sale price include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should get rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.
Buyers want to see a residence that brings them inside. Items that could be unsightly should get moved out in order for your property to have likability at the open house.

Setting the Stage
At your Open House, we want to capture buyers' attention. Shadows are important and we'll open curtains, and add lighting where needed to show off your house. We'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and assure a nice fragrance flows throughout your house. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your couch and bed. We want buyers to feel like your house is their future home. |
