I Love Color - I Live with Color - But Selling with too much Color Doesn't Work!

Staged to Sell was given the opportunity this summer to work with a client on a cozy condo in a very popular development in the Oakland Hills. We have been working in this particular development for years and have seriously worked on this particular model several times before with much success. We were therefore prepared to come and do our thing and get it sold in record time - just like before.

My Realtor client decided not to tell me a head of time that we would need to do a bit of painting. I think she was having some fun with us and decided to get my reaction when I arrived for our meeting with the client, a lovely woman who had a beautiful baby less than a year old. The family was moving to a bigger place as they had outgrown the one bedroom at this point.

The painter did a great job....lots of primer, three coats of paint too. Results: Sold in a week and two referrals from this one job. The wonderful clients referred us to all their friends and are having us come and help them with their new home.

Color is great for living (you should see my house) but for selling we need to tone it down and bit while keeping it warm and cozy.

As you can see we still believe color helps sell a property, but the right color makes all the difference.
