Around here, we love purple…it’s
our company’s signature color. We have
purple chairs, purple koozies, purple bags, clips, cups, pens, flowers and have
even had purple paperclips and staples.
So, what would our Realtors say if one of their clients had purple walls
in the house they were preparing to sell?
Well, they’d suggest they cover it up with a nice taupe or sand shade of
course. This goes back to our point we
have stated in the past, “The way we live in a house is completely different
than how we stage a home to sell.”
While your favorite colors may be
the exact complement to your living style, the shades and hues may be a
complete distraction and turn-off to buyers.
Take a look at these two examples:
A majority of the buyers who walk
into these kitchens would already be making a “paint the kitchen” entry on
their mental “To Do List.” Since moving
is already a pretty big chore, most buyers are looking for move-in-ready and
each entry on that To Do List is one step closer to eliminating the home from
consideration. The best way to present a
home is for the walls, inside and out, to be painted a neutral color.
Eliminating objections is the key to a faster sale. If you're looking to sell your home and would like some help preparing it for the sale, give the Realtors at Lora & Company Real Estate a call at 515-432-8872 or visit our website, www.CallLora.com.
