Curb Appeal
Begin with the exterior of your home, or your curb appeal. Examine the outside of your home from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What awesome characteristics seem hidden?
Understanding this helps us to choose what actions we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't pretty on the outside with retouched paint and bright 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
Could a buyer see themselves hanging out in your living space, unwinding in your reading nook or studying in your home office? We want your Open House to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of contentment. I'll help you achieve this by recommending small improvements that highlight your home's features.
I'll advise you take away pieces that give the appearance of clutter. Tabletops should be clutter-free. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' works of art should get moved out of sight. We need to "de-personalize" the home so buyers can imagine it as their new home.
I know instantly what a room's best features are and how to show them off. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively impact the sale.
Buyers' agents know that their clients want to see a home that seems comfortable. Decor that could be uninviting should be put away in order for your home to impress buyers at every showing.

Setting the Stage
During your Open House, we want to capture buyers' attention. To counteract darkness is a mood changer and we'll part the curtains, and change light bulbs where needed to invite the buyer inside. We'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a nice aroma flows room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your chairs and bed. Buyers should feel like your house has the potential to be. |
