Curb Appeal
First, look at the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the exterior of your home from a street perspective. What jumps out at you? What unique features seem hidden? Understanding this helps us to choose what steps we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with refreshed paint and colorful greenery we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your home's final selling price. Curb Appeal Checklist > Welcome Home
Does your home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Looking through your property with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend changes that enhance market appeal. I'll advise you eliminate anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Tabletops should be neatly arranged. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator artwork should get stored away too. We'll de-clutter your house. Disheveled or dirty spots make your home feel less spacious and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves calling your place home. Every room gets a once-over. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to get changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively impact the sale. Buyers' agents know that their clients like to see a residence that charms them. Decor that could be uninviting should be put away in order for your house to garner mass appeal to buyers. Welcome Home Checklist > Setting the Stage In the short time that your house will be on the market, we want to engage the buyer's senses. To eliminate shadows a mood changer and we'll open curtains, and reduce shadows where needed to show off your property. We'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and ensure a nice aroma circulates throughout your house. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your chairs and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your house has the potential to be. |
