First, look at the exterior of your house, or your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your house from a street perspective. What do you notice first? What dollar-earning features seem to fade into the background?Understanding this assists us in determining what we can do to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with retouched paint and blooming greenery we'll need to tackle those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your house's final selling price.
Does your home seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Touring your home from a buyer's perspective, I'll advise you of adjustments that enhance Open House appeal.
I'll suggest that you get rid of items that give the illusion of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Kitschy sculptures, souvenirs, family photos, and play time drawings should get stored away too. You need to remove the personal details from the home so buyers can envision it as their new home.
Every area gets a once-over. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.
I'll make sure that your home is neutral and that it's friendly, avoiding "offensive" or "can't-work-with" colors on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can think about temporary furnishings. The goal is for your home to look homey as opposed to vacated.
Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when to open your home up to buyers, because everything comes together to set the stage for what buyers can look forward to when they consider buying your house.
Brightening up your interior is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and change light bulbs where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a pleasing fragrance circulates room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your love seat and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your home is their future home.
