Tip #21 The Art of Plain White

It’s true; color is very popular when it comes to walls. However, there is a problem; you and your buyer may not have the same taste in what colors are best on walls.

Paint is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to give your home a fresh new look, and if you’re going to put in the effort, you may as well do it right. Before selling, you’ll want to stick to neutrals.

White, beige, and cream may seem pretty boring, but despite this fact, they are the best for creating an easier sale.

Remember also that white reflects the most light out of any color, and therefore it will make the rooms appear the largest.

Tip #22 Look Down on Your Carpet

If you have carpet, it’s wise to have it shampooed to remove any stains or smells that may exist. If that doesn’t work, then you’ll likely have to get rid of it.

If your carpet is dirty looking, soiled, or stained beyond rescue, then your only alternative is to get rid of it. Instead of replacing it with carpet, think about wood or laminates, since they’re better selling features.

Wood and laminates make your home look more spacious, and people like to see woods and laminates more than carpeting when they’re looking at homes. As an added bonus, these types of flooring are much easier to keep clean than carpets are.
