Sell Your Home Faster ! -5 Painting Tips for Your Lakewood Home Are you looking to sell your home or has your house been on the market for just too long? Follow these 5 tips to get more potential buyers interested in your home:

1. Create curb appeal-A shabby exterior turns buyers off-repaint the exterior of your home in neutral and complementary colors. Neutral colors appeal to more people and will give you better resale.

2. Remove wallpaper- Most home buyers do not like wallpaper, they prefer painted walls. Remove the wallpaper, then paint-this will provide a neutral, clean slate for a new owner.

3. Create illusions- Most homes have a room that is so small it may be a turn-off for a potential buyer. By painting that room a light, neutral color, the room will appear larger and more appealing.

4. Clean up the entryway-First impressions have a huge impact on buyers. Painting the entryway and foyer will create an attractive first impression of your home.

5. Keep it neutral You may prefer bright red and purple for your walls but the majority of home owners play it safe when it comes to paint colors. Bright colors are often a turn off. Play it safe by keeping walls neutral. Painting the inside and outside of your home is a great investment if you want to increase its real estate appreciation and attract more potential buyers.
