Seller's Checklist Hero

Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is very important in shaping a potential buyer’s first impression of your property. Studies show that a majority of buyers will not get out of their car if they do not find a property’s curb appeal visually attractive. Buyers associate the condition of the exterior and landscape with the condition of the interior. It is crucial to consider the attractiveness of the property when viewed from the street.

Repairs

Repairs needed at your property should be assessed and you should decide which repairs are necessary for selling your property and which should be left for the buyer to determine based on their needs. Most homes benefit from minor maintenance to make sure it looks well cared for and to leave fewer items for a home inspector to comment on.

Staging

Staging your home, or having a decorator or experienced sales professional make suggestions for reorganizing, repositioning, or in some cases replacing interior décor can impress buyers significantly. In fact, studies show that buyers pay more for staged homes.

Sales Time Frame

Time frame for selling your home is an important consideration when discussing price and positioning of your home with your sales professional.
