Listing and marketing homes is my forte, and I’ve found that my most commonly suggested improvements are the simple ones, with painting being at the top of that list.

A fresh coat of paint on your walls will do wonders for the types of reactions you’ll draw from would-be home buyers, and choosing the right color can take your home’s appeal over the top. I’ve never been one for suggesting bland, boring white walls.  Instead, I suggest mostly neutral (neutral doesn’t mean boring white) with a splash of color to add interest.  The key, though, is moderation and a well-laid plan.

With that in mind, I thought I’d share a blog post that Anne Rains, a colleague of mine, recently wrote featuring some great pointers for color selection.  Remember, presentation is everything when it comes to positioning your home ahead of the pack!
