 Looking at your house as the buyer!

That is the number one key to success, in my book.

Well let see what we need to do to look at your own home as the Buyer.

What I did is look to see what the kids and dog have done to the house ~ scuff marks and scrapes on the walls. Do you need to repaint? well if it is not a neutral color ~ seriously consider painting the walls. If you don't think it will go with just about every color Paint The Walls!

Now you can leave really wonderful rooms in Not neutral colors like light blue or even dramatic colors in the Powder Room. the extras in the room comes in Staging the House.

The kitchen in the pictures all creamy white needed to be spot painted. If you can mix the same color you can do this. They went to a store and had a color mixed, but when they painted the spots it was apparent that the color did not match well enough. I took the time to mix the paint to match, and no one could tell they had been spot painted at all. For another tip look around to see if anything jumps out at you. Case, when I went into the Kitchen and like a buyer started to open drawers and OH MY what did I see ~ chipped and unsightly drawer edges, well I took the brush myself and painted the edges and WOW that made such a difference. Like magic it Looked Brand New, now that would be called move in ready, and beautiful all at the same time.
So you see, literally, is what will make the difference in how the Buyer will see your House!
Tell next time, look around and see what needs to be done, make your lists!
