We know that it may seem daunting to paint the interior of the house before you put it on the market, and besides staging, it will be the best money you spend.

Wallpaper should be removed and any room that is scuffed and worn looking should be painted. Paint will pay off. In fact, any money you spend to make the house look better will only bring you more money in the sale price.

Be sure to pick neutral colors. Shades of gray and white are very big right now and will continue to be fore the foreseeable future.
