White, Beige, and Green Homes Sell Best. (edit/delete)

The environmentally friendly home. Agents and Stagers, are you looking for something a little different? Tired of REALTOR beige carpet, Antique White walls, and neutral everything else? Want to add a little variety to your listings, save sellers and buyers a little money, present a clean and green home to potential buyers? Just want to add something a little different? Consider some green products like Paperstone, Kirei Board, Toto, Polywhey, Clay Wall Plaster, in your pre listing repairs and staging presentation!

 Every couple of months I like to scan through our local Green Building Supply store to see what's new in healthy home bulding products and supplies. Lots of products there I've been wanting to try out, and lots of great ideas for doing projects around the house. Also many unusual but interesting and attractive decorating ideas. Great source of non toxic cleaning products, flooring products, etc.

 Will any of these products be attractive to home buyers? I believe many of them would. If a seller is going to paint before putting house on market, why not use a more healthy low VOC paint? Need new lighting, maybe some LED's would look good on an outside stairway? Flooring? Many possibilities available! Cabinets or hardware? New countertops?

 Just adding a few " Green" projects or products might just give the sellers that little bit more of a edge when trying to sell in a tough and slow market like we're in now, and attract a buyer with an interest in "Green"!

 There are probably "Green" building suppliers in your area, but if not , I think agents and stagers will find it interesting to visit http://www.amicusgreen.com and review all of  the many " Green" products they have available.

That's a good point. Seller can make their house looking more presentable without spending arm-and-leg on the project.
