STOP! Don’t Do This if You Are Selling Your House!
It happened again! An agent called and wanted me to help their new client- first-
time home sellers. They want to get the home on the market soon and have already contacted Faith Farm to come and pick up some of their furniture and are ready to paint.
TELL THEM NOT TO TOUCH A THING!!!!
I met with this very nice young couple and they are doing all of the right things to make sure their home is in market ready condition- hardwood floors, new appliances, paint, and getting everything checked over.
"We thought we'd paint everything all white"
Please don't!
"But our painter suggested that and a lot of people we asked also said to paint everything white."
I beg of you....please don't!!
All white walls are best carried out by professional designers for a very special look. 
Otherwise, the home can seem cold and devoid of personality.
And, even though the sellers currently have furniture, they anticipate having to move (for work) before the home is sold. All white walls, low ceilings and no furniture whatsoever may look clean and certainly uncluttered, but it also can leave the Buyer saying-
“That’s nice.”
“That’s nice” doesn’t exactly shout “I love this home!”
In years past, all sellers were told to just paint everything white. That’s the easy way out, but buyers need to see the possibilities of the house. Buying a house isn’t just about numbers and price per square foot. Buying a home is a very emotional thing.
Color can brighten a room; it can set a tone; and it can evoke a memory.
What color did they choose?
You’ll have to come back for the “After” photos, and I can assure you, this young couple knows the importance of selling your house in today’s market!!!
Before you pick up that paint brush or give away all of your furniture and furnishings, call a Home Stager. We can save you money and heartache help you get your house in show ready condition.
