Selling tips

Paint is your friend. A fresh coat of paint in a builder’s beige or white can freshen up a room and provide the biggest bang for the staging-buck. Not every room needs to be painted if you don’t have time – just paint the main rooms people will walk into, the ones immediately seen. I once sold a house with raspberry paint in one bedroom, and orange paint in another bedroom. It didn’t matter. By the time the couple got upstairs, they were already in love with the downstairs, and painting the upstairs didn't concern them. These clients could see past the paint, however some buyers will not. A good first impression can sell your home.
