Curb Appeal
Does your house have curb appeal? Can we give it a little more pizzazz to draw the buyer in? Would a bit of touch-up paint add dollars to the sale? What about the garden? Is the lawn in order and neatly edged? Are trees and bushes neatly pruned? Are flowers in bloom? If not, it may be time for a garden upgrade. Adding colorful annuals to the front garden will make a big difference. Remember, creating curb appeal will add dollars to your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home
As potential buyers walk through your home it is important that they quickly feel they could comfortably belong here.  Whether it's the light and airy feel they sense in your kitchen, or the openness in your family room, little ammenities can accentuate the qualities of your home.  We will discuss some of these ideas with you to help make you home look special. 

Removing large items or furniture can help show-off a room that may otherwise look small.  Keeping countertops clean and making them look as large as possible is also important, as is removing any clutter that has gathered in various rooms and closets. Since you are planning on moving, it may be a good time to make a donation to your local charity or have a garage sale to get rid of unwanted items. 

It's amazing how a fresh coat of paint and cleaning or replacing the carpet can have a positive impact, and the money spent will be returned many fold in quicker and higher offers.  Also clean windows and doors make the home show better and will promote the sale.

Setting the Stage
As potential buyers walk through your home, it is important that they quickly feel the sense of belonging here.  Whether it's the bright and airy kitchen, or the open family room, the feeling that your home is a "fit" makes them begin to seriously consider it. Having proper lighting in your home is crucial.  Keeping the curtains back, the blinds open, new light bulbs, all make the buyers feel good.  Even soft music and a nice air freshener throughout the house adds to the appeal and goes a long way in making buyers select your home over others that have not done these important things.
