Curb Appeal
Begin with the outside of your home, or your curb appeal. Look at the exterior of your house from a street view. What do you notice first? What great characteristics seem hidden?
Knowing this helps us to choose what actions we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't attractive on the outside with retouched paint and bright greenery 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 home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Touring your property with a buyer's eye, I'll advise you of arrangements that build up market appeal.
I'll tell you put out of sight anything that gives the impression of clutter. Table and counter tops should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator artwork should get stored away too. We need to remove the personal details from the home so buyers can see it as their new place.
Every area gets a once-over. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that need shining, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.
Buyers want to see a property that charms them. Items that could be unsightly should be put away in order for your house to achieve mass appeal at the open house.

Setting the Stage
At your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Brightness is important and we'll draw back curtains, and add lighting where needed to welcome the buyer. We'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and assure a delightful fragrance flows throughout your house. We'll make use of cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your couch and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house has the potential to be. |
