Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is your first chance to create a strong first impression on buyers before they enter your house. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers create their initial perception of your house and how you keep up your house's regular maintenance. Knowing this assists us in deciding what we can do to entice buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with touched up paint and blooming 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
Does your home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Walking-through your place with a buyer's eye, I'll advise you of arrangements that enhance market appeal. I'll suggest that you eliminate items that give the impression of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be neatly arranged. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator works of art should get moved out of sight. We'll simplify the decor of house. Ugly or messy places make your home seem unkempt and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves living there.
Every area gets a once-over. Areas that directly affect your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should get rearranged, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need washing
With me by your side, you'll know that your home is likable and that it's comfortable, avoiding "offensive" or "too-bright" shades on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can think about borrowing furniture. The goal is for your place to look lived in as opposed to barren.

Setting the Stage At every showing, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Lighting is a mood changer and we'll draw back curtains, and create light where needed to show off your house. We'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and ensure a nice fragrance flows throughout your house. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your sofa and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house is their future home. |
