Curb Appeal
Start with the outside of your home, or your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your home from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What would've-been-eye-catching features seem hidden?
Acknowledging this assists us in deciding what we can do to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with retouched paint and bright garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home
Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Walking-through your place with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend arrangements that enhance sales appeal.
I'll help you put in storage anything that gives the impression of clutter. Table and counter tops should be free and clear. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. We need to "generalize" the home so buyers can see it as their new place.
Every room gets a once-over. Changes that directly affect your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need cleaning.
Potential buyers want a house that charms them. Decor that could be uninviting should get moved out so that your home will have have likability at every showing.

Setting the Stage
During your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Shadows are important and we'll part the curtains, and add lighting where needed to welcome the buyer. We'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look around your home and make sure a nice aroma flows room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking throws, and place pillows on your loveseat and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current home has the potential to be. |
