Exterior painting can really help sell a house quicker and for more money!

How much more value do you Real Estate Professionals think this paint job adds to the home below?

What a difference a little paint can make. Check out these Before and After photos of a Melbourne, Florida exterior repaint. After we pressure washed this Melbourne home we repaired all of the staircase stucco cracks, applied a clear sealer (due to chalkyness), and applied two coats of Sherwin Williams A100 satin exterior paint.

Those are some great before and after shots.  A little paint can greatly improve value.  I had one client that had a purple bedrooms and orange flames on the steps from the basement - definately a painting situation.

Wow....that says it all!    And reminds us, too, that "staging" isn't just about interior spaces.

Dramatic before and after photos! I know clients see it as a huge chore or large expense, but when they "just painted" I will then ask WHEN they painted and as they count the years "just painted" can mean up to 7 years ago.  To make it easier for the homeowners/home-buyers who have just redecorated and are not immediately selling, I tell them to rotate the rooms by painting a different one each year or two, and getting on a schedule so the rooms are fresh at least every 5 years.  It does make a difference.

Kathleen, thanks for sharing this.  These were great transformations, especially with the minerals stains that so many of our houses here in Fl get.
