Curb Appeal

First, look at the exterior of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What positive characteristics seem waiting to be noticed? Knowing this helps us to choose what measures we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't attractive on the outside with touched up paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home

Does your place seem to say, "Welcome Home" to a buyer? Touring your property from a buyer's perspective, I'll advise you of fixes that enhance Open House appeal. I'll help you get rid of anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be cleared off. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and play time artwork should get moved out of sight. We'll de-clutter your house. Less than inviting or messy places make your home look smaller and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves calling your place home.

I know exactly where a room's best features are and how to highlight them. Areas that directly impact your dollars include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should get rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need cleaning.

Potential buyers want a home that charms them. Items that could be uninviting should be put away so that your home will have impress buyers at the open house.
