Curb Appeal
Begin with the exterior of your house, also called your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your home from a street view. What jumps out at you? What positive characteristics seem hidden?
Acknowledging this assists us in determining what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with refreshed paint and colorful garden plants we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home
Does your place seem to say, "Welcome Home" to a buyer? Examining your house from a buyer's view, I'll advise you of adjustments that improve market appeal.
I'll suggest that you take away anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Tabletops should be clutter-free. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get moved out of sight. We'll simplify the decor of house. Unattractive or busy places make your home feel smaller and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves calling your place home.
I'll look over every room of your home. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that need shining, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively influence the sale.
We'll ensure your house has mass appeal and that it's comfortable, avoiding "loud" or "can't-work-with" shades on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can think about borrowing furnishings. You want your house to look homey as opposed to bare and uninhabited.

Setting the Stage
You'll know when you're ready to open your home up to buyers, because everything comes together to paint a picture of what buyers will expect when they consider buying your house. To counteract darkness is a mood changer and we'll part the curtains, and reduce shadows where needed to show off your place. We'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing softly and ensure a delightful scent flows throughout your house. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your loveseat and bed. Buyers should feel like your place has the potential to be. |
