It depends on the height of the walls. If it requires using a ladder, some of us are not comfortable with heights and would need to hire a painter, and they charge tons for their labor.
I have to add- if it’s a flipped house, I stay away. These flippers will replace perfectly good cabinets and countertops with ugly mismatched cabinets and countertops, paint natural stone, woodwork and bricks, but leave behind the 30 year old ac unit, the faulty ungrounded wiring and knocking pipes. I’ve seen bathrooms with four different metal tones and houses with five different flooring types. It makes my head spin and I know they did the flip on the cheapest possible budget, cutting corners wherever possible 😢
Agree with you. They typically remove quality and add subpar materials. The multiple flooring types in a home is a total negative for all the buyers I work with. Couldn’t agree with you more.
The teller at my bank moved from Russia. Her house in Russia had wooden floors. When she moved to the USA she couldn't wait to have wall-to-wall carpet in her house. Now, carpet is out and wood floors in. That will probably change again in 20 years.
That's a first. In general carpet is fine, but buyers usually do not like the idea of living with someone else's old carpet and buyers rarely like carpet in the main living areas.
Another thing to add to the "NO" list: do NOT add artificial fragrances; i.e., Room Fresheners/Scented Candles ! Many people these days have chemical sensitivities (I'm one of them), and will become physically ill when exposed to such things. When we were looking for homes to buy, we ruled out even viewing several of them when we were bombarded with fake smells at the door of the house. Just sayin'.
@kimdevlinteam I knew the smell was coming from the water damaged kitchen cabinets and residue of pets in the oak floors, the seller had removed all the carpeting. After ripping out the cabinets, sanding the floors and painting all the walls the smell is gone. One closet I can still smell a hint of "old house" smell, but that's it.
There are two rooms I wanted to paint but my agent said not to bother. She also told me not to bother fixing my low water pressure and dishwasher but I'm doing it all anyway. Why would she tell me not to bother? I don't get it!
I’m not sure why she would tell you that. Painting is your best return on investment and if there is something wrong with your dishwasher, it will get picked up in an inspection. What market are you in? Are you seeing multiple offers? She may be saying that because your market is Hot. I would just ask her what her reasoning is.
@@staugustineliving Thank you for answering! My house is not live yet so I don’t have offers. I’m located in New England in the state of Rhode Island. She did say she’s confident my house will sell quickly.
@@CatsAreNiceMeow You're welcome. That is good to hear but don't hold back if you have questions. You are the client and you want to make sure your house is presented in the best possible way when you hit the market. Good luck!

Anyone who refuses to buy a house because the walls are painted the "wrong" color.... needs to learn about paint stores. It's the easiest fix.
I agree, but it does turn people off.
A fresh coat of paint is equivalent to a deep clean. All sellers should paint all walls a neutral white/cream color. It is so cheap and easy to do.
@@mwebb3014 Yes! 🙌

@@mwebb3014 Yah, because paint is free and so is labor.

Perfect vidéo...to the point no long drawn out babble thank you!!
You’re welcome. I try to keep it the point and not drone on. Always appreciate like minded people.😊
OMG! I totally agree!

I just toured a home with bad pet odors and walked right out.
Yep! That odor is hard to get rid of.
I bought a smelly house, saved me a bundle.
@@Gukworks It's not for everyone but good for you.

@@Gukworks a little sweat equity goes a long way. Glad you were able to get rid of most of it.
