Curb Appeal

Begin with the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your home from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What awesome features seem to fade into the background? Acknowledging this assists us in determining what steps we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with retouched paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your house's final selling price.

Make yourself at home...

Could a buyer picture themselves hanging out in your living area, unwinding in your master bedroom or studying in your home office? I want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of comfort. I'll help you do this by recommending small improvements that enhance the features of your property. I'll help you take away anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be clutter-free. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or busy areas make your home look smaller and buyers have a more difficult time seeing themselves calling your property "home".

Every room gets a once-over. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet needing to get changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.

Working together, we'll make sure your house has mass appeal and that it's inviting, avoiding "offensive" or "personalized" hues on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can try renting furniture. The goal is for your home to look ready to live in as opposed to cold and empty.

Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when to show your house, because everything comes together to set the stage for what buyers can envision after they close on your house. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and change light bulbs where needed to show off your home. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and ensure a pleasant fragrance flows room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and throw pillows on your sofa and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current home has the potential to be.
