Painting
- Do the Prep Work!
- A sloppy paint job is worse than no paint at all. All surfaces should be cleaned, patched, and smoothed before adding any paint. Remove outlet covers and vents first.
Be sure to account for dry time.

- Stick to Neutrals
- Vivid colors are great to live with, but not so great when selling a home. Your home shows best as a blank canvas, one that buyers can picture themselves living in. Stick to ivory, beige, and greys.

- Let Buyers Visualize
