Color your Home Day 3

COLOR YOUR HOME......
Today is day 3 on the Color Your Home blog.  I have chosen a color that will make any buyer want to buy your home.  It is a color that will go in any room and is recommended by other real estate agents too.  It was quoted in my office " go buy yourself 2 gallons of this color and call me when you are done".  It works and its a great color for the eye. Painting your home for the market is something that is very affordable and will bring you a huge return on investment.  Happy Painting!

Color your Home Day 2

COLOR YOUR HOME......
Today is day 2 on the Color Your Home blog.  I have chosen a color that makes a space very serene and appealing to buyers.  It will go in any room but I would recommend that you use it in a kitchen or dining area.  I have also added a coordinating fabric that you could use for inspiration on chairs, window treatments, table linens or just a coordinating piece in the kitchen.  Enjoy

Color your Home Day 1

COLOR YOUR HOME.....
I love blogging about color and all that it can do for a space.  Join me this week as I  blog on 7 different color selections that I recommend to home owners when painting their interior to appeal to buyers.  Enjoy

1. Color Selection: "Universal Khaki"
Sherwin Williams #6150

 This is an example of a family room painted with this color.  Don't underestimate this neutral color.  It makes any room very warm and inviting.  This color will help give your home a very neutral look, the number one concept behind a great staged home.  Neutral sells!!!!

"Stage To Sale"

"Are you Staged To Sale"


Living-Room

Here are some interesting Staging Facts:

  • Statistics show a well staged home sells for at least 7% more than a comparable non-staged home.
  • A buyer has an opinion of your house within the first 15 seconds.
  • Statistics show that 9 out of 10 people cannot visualize how the property could be.
  • Staging helps the buyer to emotionally connect with your home. It allows them to mentally move in, not move on.
  • Your investment in Staging now is less than your price reduction later.
  • You only have one chance to make a great first impression.
So how important is it that you stage your home to sale?  Very important in my opinion.  In my experience with today's Real Estate market it is the most important thing that buyers look for and in most cases it will make a difference in whether they choose your house over another one.  I have done many staging consultations for clients that have proven over and over to work and now I have decided to open up my expertise to you.  I have developed an online staging service at a very affordable price so that you can put that upper edge on your listing.  I can provide this service to you any where in the world all you will need is a digital camera and an email address and I can come to your rescue.  Please follow the link below to get more information on these services.
