Ship Shape for Real Estate
September 18th, 2008 categories: Cincinnati, Ohio, Real Estate News, West Chester, Ohio
It is the fall nesting season in our home….the time of year when I have decided to “spiff up” by removing tons of wallpaper and repainting several rooms.
“Spiffing up” the nest is great for real estate.
The problem is how to select the correct …not quite white color…that meets my needs.
How do you figure out the future of several highly visible walls by looking at a 1″ x 2.5″ strip? The other occupant in the nest is not much help since he has changed his favorite color strip 7 times in 2 days.
“Walk the talk” seems to be a popular saying these days and believe me I totally understand how some sellers can muddle over paint colors for weeks before making a selection- while other sellers have the work completed in 2 days.
Sellers in Cincinnati, West Chester and Fairfield can reduce their stress by getting their property in top shape before it hits the market.
Take some time to compile a complete list of “to do’s” and lay out a rational schedule to either do the work yourself or hiring a contractor.
“Fire, Ready Aim” is not the right way to sell - so do yourself (and the buyers) a favor by completing work prior to listing the property.
Hopefully I will follow my own advice and select a color before the painter starts painting…..
