Get House Ready Sell
Depersonalize House
& Neutralize Decor
To get house ready sell smart, the fifth step in our home owner action plan, Depersonalizing, goes well beyond removing personal items.
Remove Personal Items - Including Favorite Photos
But you still have to remove (almost) all personal items from view. Remember, you want buyers to buy your house, not feel as if they are invading your personal space. Depersonalize to get house ready sell smart.
Depersonalize to Sell House by
Neturalizing Personal Decor Choices
Our first two primary neutralizing tools to sell house smart: paint and fabric.
Additionally, depersonalizing to sell focuses on eliminating or neutralizing personal choices.
The Best Paint Colors to Sell House Smart
And the first choice is interior paint wall color. Throughout the house. Consider: How many different interior paint wall colors are currently in use? Wall paint color and trim paint color? How about paint brands?
Click on each brand below for our respective recommendations of best interior paint colors (they offer) to sell house smart.

Minimize Paint Techniques to Sell House Smart
Consider paint techniques: faux painting, raised techniques such as Venetian plaster, sand, etc. What worked for you may not appeal broadly to potential house buyers - plural.
The Power of Paint Colors
NEVER underestimate the power of PAINT, when it comes to Real Estate !!!! It can HELP re-sale when its the new neutral... a warm, rich, velvet honey color that enhances each room and will work with the buyer's furnishings.

Or interior paint color can HURT!!! Take for example recent clients with a love for the color PURPLE: a bold, bright, DEEP glossy dark purple color painted in the foyer, living, dining stairway walls. The color was so intense the house had a perpetual night-time feel... Buyers were NOT receptive and the house (for sale by owner or FISBO) received few showings and NO OFFERS.
Deep, dark colors will not appeal to the majority of TODAY's buyers. So if you are contemplating on selling your house soon...you need a serious COLOR CHECK....long before placing your house for sale.
Wall Paper Problems
In addition to paint colors and paint techniques, an even more personalized choice of decor is wall paper. Some wall paper is inherited. Nevertheless, whether inherited or chosen, wall paper should be removed. If it cannot be removed, wall paper must be neutralized to sell house smart. Period.
Neutralize Furniture with Fabric
But what about furniture? Is furniture being sold with your house? Probably not. Does furniture even matter in the sale of your house? Absolutely. Furniture, whether too much, too little or none, will dramatically impact the speed and price for the sale of your house. So the personalized choice of furniture, to get ready sell house smart, must also be neutralized.
No, we will not recommend painting your furniture. But we highly suggest considering a cost-effective and extremely easy way to get ready sell house and neutralize furniture - fabric. Not even no sew fabric. We use 1.5 (one and one half) yards of fabric without sewing, gluing or fusing. Instead, we use 1.5 yards and drape, puddle, braid - in this instance, pictures are worth more than a thousand words.
Good thing we have thousands of pictures illustrating our favorite and fastest neutralizing techniques to depersonalize decor and get house ready sell smart.
