Preparing your home to sell shouldn't be thought of as another hurdle in getting your home sold. It can actually be enjoyable. Together, we'll strive for an exceptional bid for your home. Below are a few home staging pointers to get you going:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your only chance to create a great first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers create their first perception of your home and how you keep up your home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this assists us in determining what actions we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with refreshed paint and colorful garden plants we'll need to tackle those issues. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Looking through your property with a buyer's eye, I'll advise you of changes that enhance Open House appeal. I'll help you get rid of anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be neatly arranged. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator artwork should get stored away too. You need to "generalize" the house so buyers can picture it as their new home.

I know exactly where a room's best features are and how to highlight them. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to get changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.

Potential buyers like to see a home that charms them. Everything that could be uninviting should be put away in order for your house to achieve mass appeal while on the market.

Setting the Stage

At your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like open curtains and add lighting where needed to show off your house. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a pleasing fragrance circulates room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your couch and bed. We want buyers to feel like your house has the potential to be.
