Research overwhelmingly shows that staging a home with the right paint colors can lead to faster sales and increased profits. Research also shows that the wrong<\/em> colors can cause potential buyers to drive right past a home and not give it a second glance<\/a>!\n\nOnline shoppers will take one look at a listing and decide in seconds if it\u2019s THE home for them or not. A home well staged will bring in more buyer traffic and create more showings, leading to a successful sale in record time.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]\n

Curb appeal is everything. I\u2019ll say it again: curb appeal is everything<\/span>!<\/strong><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][image_with_animation image_url=”19535″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]This means that choosing the perfect paint colors for the interior and exterior of a home is key. By using the right colors, buyers will visualize themselves and their family living in the home and being happy there!\n\nThe right colors will create a fresh, updated look that makes a perfect impression. It’ll also give buyers even more incentive to make an offer at – or above<\/em> – asking price! Every home is different, but there are colors that have proven to work well, creating a beautifully staged home that can increase property value up to 5%. This is because these colors draw the right buyers in.\n\nKnowing how to use the proper colors in a home will become second nature to you when you get the proper training and color consultant certification<\/a>!\n\nLet\u2019s talk about what types of colors work well, where they work best, and why.\n\n*Note: All color recommendations are Sherwin Williams.<\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n
