Curb Appeal
Start with the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your home from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What positive characteristics seem waiting to be noticed?
Understanding this assists us in deciding what measures we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't at its best on the outside with retouched paint and colorful garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home
Can buyers see themselves enjoying game night in your living space, reading a good book in your master bedroom or hosting a dinner in your dining room? We want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of ease. I'll help you accomplish this by recommending changes that enhance the features of your place.
I'll advise you reduce the effect of anything that gives the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be neatly arranged. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' artwork should get stored away too. We need to remove the personal details from the house so buyers can see it as their new place.
Every area 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, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that need brightening, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively impact the sale.
Buyers' agents know that their clients like a residence that draws them in with charm. Decor that could be unsightly should go into storage in order for your property to achieve mass appeal during any visit.

Setting the Stage
In the short time that your house will be on the market, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses. Lighting is important and we'll open curtains, and create light where needed to show off your property. We'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests experience your home and ensure a nice fragrance flows room-to-room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking blankets, and throw pillows on your chairs and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current place has the potential to be. |
