Curb Appeal
Begin with the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your house from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What would've-been-eye-catching features seem hidden?
Acknowledging this assists us in determining what we can do to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with refreshed 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
Could a buyer picture themselves enjoying game night in your living room, relaxing in your spa tub or studying in your home office? We want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of comfort. I'll help you accomplish this by suggesting changes that enhance the features of your place.
I'll suggest that you get rid of anything that gives the impression of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be neatly arranged. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' works of art should get moved out of sight. We need to remove the personal details from the home so buyers can see it as their new home.
Every room gets a once-over. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively impact the sale.
Potential buyers like to see a home that invites them inside. Everything that could be too personal should get moved out so that your place will have achieve mass appeal to buyers.

Setting the Stage
In every opportunity, we want to engage the buyer's senses. To counteract darkness is important and we'll part the curtains, and reduce shadows where needed to show off your home. We'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and ensure a nice fragrance circulates throughout your home. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your sofa and bed. Buyers should feel like your house has the potential to be. |
