We want to appeal to the widest possible audience. Neutral colors are key.

Freshly painted walls and new carpet can simply transform a house.

Don't use a strong colored or a white carpet.

If buyers see pink and purple walls, they see WORK. Remember, buyers are in the process of moving, and are already overwhelmed with things to do.

If you have dated wallpaper, consider painting the walls instead of replacing paper.

Light colors can be very appealing, but stay fairly neutral.

Grayed yellows, sage greens, creams, light browns, and tans are muted colors that contribute a "designer" look.

One of the problems we often see in kitchens is worn out cabinet finish. Enamel paint and new cabinet pulls work wonders.

Often dark worn paneling can be painted with enamel paint for a fresh new look.

Benjamin Moore Paints has a product called "Howard's Restore-a-finish" that works wonders on scratched cabinets

Strong political or artistic statements are not helpful. We do not want buyers to focus on these matters while viewing your house.

Large groups of family photos are distracting. It is hard for buyers to look past these and visualize themselves in your house.

Create a clean, simplified background. Within this background, use nice pieces of furniture, books, art and other objects to add color and beauty.

Flowers in the entry and kitchen are very nice touches.

We will work with you to prepare your home for sale. Finding the best visual presentation must be done at your house with your furniture and possessions.

The goal is to reach the buyer emotionally, and sell your house quickly and profitably.
