START WITH CURB APPEAL

A positive first impression is the best place to start!

Potential buyers will make decisions about whether or not the property is right for them based on your marketing & listing photos, drive-bys, entryways and throughout the home as they envision themselves living in the space. Below are some easy ways to start ensuring you make the best first impression!

Clean your garden beds, mow the lawn & remove any debris or garbage.

Freshen up your front entrance! Paint the door, update the lighting, & add some decor.

Powerwash! It makes a world of difference. We know some great professionals if you don't want to DIY.

Not every home or every space in your home is going to need a fresh coat of paint!

However, if you haven't painted your walls, trim or ceilings in years - it's time to freshen things up!

Buyers need to envision how your spaces can work for their needs & lifestyle. When the space already looks "lived in" it's harder for them to do so. I'm not saying to go crazy here, more than likely you still have to live in these spaces! However, take a look around each room and reset the space - like guests are coming!

Small Updates that Can Make a BIG Difference!

We can evaluate each space to determine if you would benefit from a small renovation or upgrade that may add additional value. It could be as simple as new countertops or fresh caulking in a shower that completely changes the space.
