Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is your first chance to create a positive impact on buyers before they enter your house. The positive and negative features that jump out at buyers create their first opinion of your house and how you upkeep house's regular maintenance.
Understanding this helps us to choose what measures we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your house. 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. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home
Can buyers picture themselves lounging in your living area, reading a good book in your master bedroom or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? We want your Open House to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of easy living. I'll help you do this by suggesting small improvements that enhance the features of your place.
I'll suggest that you put in storage items that give the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be cleared off. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get moved out of sight. We need to remove the personal details from the home so buyers can picture it as their new home.
I know exactly what a room's best features are and how to show them off. Areas that directly affect your dollars include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should be rearranged, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.
I'll make sure that your house is neutral and that it's comfortable, staying away from "loud" or "personalized" hues on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can try borrowing furnishings. You want your home to look inviting as opposed to cold and deserted.

Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when your house is ready to show your home, because all of the changes come together to paint a picture of what buyers will expect after they choose to buy your house. Lighting is a mood changer and we'll draw back curtains, and change light bulbs where needed to welcome the buyer. We'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and assure a delightful scent circulates throughout your house. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and throw pillows on your couch and bed. Buyers should feel like your house is their future home. |
