Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is your first chance to make a positive impact on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers form their initial perception of your home and how you keep up your home's regular maintenance.
Knowing this helps us to decide what steps we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't the best it can look on the outside with refreshed paint and blooming greenery we'll need to address those issues. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home
Does your home seem to say, "Welcome Home" to a buyer? Walking-through your property with a critical eye, I'll suggest changes that build up Open House appeal.
I'll suggest that you put in storage anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Table and counter tops should be neatly arranged. Knickknacks, sentimental items, family photos, and play time artwork should get moved out of sight. We'll de-clutter your house. Less than inviting or busy spots make your home seem smaller and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves calling your place home.
Every room gets a once-over. Enhancements that directly affect your sale price include fixable like furniture pieces that should be removed, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need washing
We'll ensure your house is appealing and that it's comfortable, staying away from "offensive" or "too-bright" colors on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can try renting furnishings. The goal is for your place to look lived in as opposed to cold and empty.

Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when it's time for the Open House, because all of the changes come together to create a picture of what buyers can envision after they close on your house. To eliminate shadows a mood changer and we'll part the curtains, and create light where needed to show off your home. We'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and ensure a nice aroma flows room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking blankets, and throw pillows on your sofa and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current place has the potential to be. |
