A few days ago, I posted about the #1 Tip for Sellers and a friend suggested that I should continue the theme, so here is the #2 tip and it costs even less!

Most Sellers think that their house looks really good, is reasonably clean and has decent curb appeal.  That may be true, but it's probably not enough to really excite Buyers in San Antonio, Texas about the "move-in ready" status of your home.  To do that, the house has to look fresh. 

In the time that you have lived in the home, you may have painted it a great decor latte color (it's never too late to stat...), but when was the last time that the baseboard was painted? 

Hmmm? Got you on that one.

Even if you think that it looks good; it doesn't look as good as it would with fresh paint.

Go get a gallon of new paint for your baseboards in a color that is a close match for your doors (if they are a white).  Start first in your entry hall as it is the first room that people will see and it sets the tone for the rest of the home.

I know that you are thinking that you don't have time for this, but remember that you only have to do one wall at a time.

Listen to a Realtor®:  30 minutes of painting can make a world of difference.  In a week of odd times (20-30 minutes at a time), you could have most of the house done.

You do want to get it sold, don't you?
