Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is your only chance to make a positive impact on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers shape their first opinion of your home and how you perform home's regular maintenance. Understanding this assists us in determining what we can do to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't attractive on the outside with retouched paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home

Does your house seem to say, "Hello From Your New Place" to a buyer? Examining your house with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend arrangements that improve Open House appeal. I'll advise you put in storage items that give the look of clutter. Tabletops should be neatly arranged. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and play time artwork should get stored away too. We need to "de-personalize" the house so buyers can imagine it as their new home.

I'll review each room of your home. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need brightening, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

We'll ensure your house has mass appeal and that it's friendly, staying away from "loud" or "can't-work-with" shades on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can consider renting furnishings. The goal is for your house to look lived in as opposed to cold and empty.

Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when your house is ready to show your home, because everything comes together to paint a picture of what buyers can expect when they consider buying your house. To eliminate shadows a mood changer and we'll draw back curtains, and add lighting where needed to show off your home. We'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests tour your home and assure a pleasing scent flows throughout your home. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your couch and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current home has the potential to be.
