300% Return on Your Investment...PAINT YOUR HOME!

GRAB A PAINT BRUSH AND BE PROACTIVE IN SELLING YOUR HOME!

As a long time Realtor, and decorator, I whole heartedly agree with HGTV on this....

1. Painting Payback: As much as 300 percent If you're only going to do one thing, paint. Interior/exterior painting is one of the very few improvements on which you are likely to realize a profit — as long as you choose tasteful, current, neutral colors and the work is very professional.

If you are wanting to improve your chances of selling your home in today's market, painting your home, inside and out can put you closer to that goal. AND HERE'S A BONUS! According to HGTV, you can get about a 300% return on your money when it is time to sell for doing so! Make sure you choose a light neutral color...

If that is not an incentive to freshen up the paint in your home, I don't know what is!
