Chances are that you have noticed the real estate signs popping up all over your neighborhood. That is because summer is real estate season, the time of year where homes change hands and moving guys stay busy. Perhaps you are working to get your West Hartford, CT home sold this summer, and it will not surprise you that interior painting and staging are a large part of that.
Getting your home show-ready is one of the fastest ways to send your stress levels soaring and everyday life becomes a battle of cleaning and clutter busting. But, before you even get to that point, you have to tackle a to-do list from your realtor that often involves things like touching up trim, repainting unpopular paint colors and repairing any drywall damage.
Before you have a minor panic attack, consider giving us a call. Our savvy team of professional painters may not be able to declutter your closet, but we can knock things off your to-do list in no time.
Consult Your Realtor
If you are ready to get your Connecticut home on the market, call your realtor before making your to-do list. There is no need to re-cover wall paint that may not actually be off-putting to potential buyers. You only have so much time and money so you want to get the most bang for your buck.
Invest In The Details
One of the simplest fixes to get your home market-ready is to touch up damaged or scuffed up interior paint, trim or woodwork. Things like this make your home seem worn out and tired rather than crisp and fresh. Next, invest in pressure washing your deck, home and walkway to rid your home of moss or dirt that have gathered over the years. These small details will increase your home’s resale value and free up your time for other projects.
Choose Neutral Paint Colors
If you have spent any time watching home decorating shows, you have heard this mantra time and time again: buyers want neutral paint colors. This is mostly true, although a few splashes of color here and there will not hurt your resale so long as they are not too bright or unique for the everyday shopper. The thing about neutral wall paint is that it allows buyers to envision themselves and their belongings in your home. You want this; you want them to walk through and imagine life in your home, because it leads to fast, full price offers.
Drywall Repair
Life happens in houses, in every way imaginable, and if you are like us, you can imagine a lot. The daily wear and tear of family life can lead to dings and drywall damage, and this is a pretty big turnoff for buyers. Be sure to have professional painters repair and repaint your damaged drywall before your house hits the market.
When it comes to getting your home on the market, our painters and staff are on your team, you do not have to go at it alone. We have you covered with everything from pressure washing to interior painting and a whole lot more. Moving is enough work on its own, so if you are working to get your home sold this summer, give us a call. Allow us to lighten your workload so you can show your Connecticut home at its very best.
