Enhance your property's interior & exterior appeal

Exterior:

  • Keep the lawn fresh and clean at all times. Curb appeal is everything
  • Trim hedges, weed flower beds, and prune trees if needed.
  • Check the foundation, steps, walkways, walls, and patios for cracks.
  • Inspect doors for peeling paint, easy to open, close, and lock.
  • Pressure wash if necessary.
  • Repair and replace loose or damaged roof shingles.
  • Repair and repaint loose siding and caulking.
  • Keep your garage door closed.

Interior:

  • Spring clean every room and remove clutter. This alone will make your house appear larger, brighter and welcoming.
  • Box up everything you don't use on a daily basis. Store in 1 room.
  • Remove items from kitchen & bathroom countertops, tub surrounds & showers.
  • Remove all personal photos from the fridge and walls, patch holes if necessary
  • A fresh coat of paint changes everything. It makes the home feel like new again. Light colors are recommended.
  • Check and repair cracks, leaks and signs of dampness in the wet areas around plumbing, doors, and windows.
  • Change all light bulbs to the same color. Bright white or daylight is highly recommended
