St. Louis House Buyers:The most important thing to consider when you decide to fix up your house to sell are the walls. If you still have wallpaper, have it removed and get professional painters to paint your house. Most buyers prefer painted walls over wallpaper anyways. Try to choose light, neutral shades as everyone feels comfortable with these colors. White however does not always work because it conveys a very dull and drab look to most people- so shades of yellow and pink would go down well with almost everyone.

Lemon yellow, baby pink, pale yellow, creamy brown, light pink are a few colors liked by everyone. Also remember that you are catering to the interests of buyers, not yourself. So even if you like a particularly unusual shade, say metallic gold, don’t impulsively go in for it just because you like it, remember to remain natural.

If you have wooden furniture, be sure to have it polished and the same goes for flooring as well. These are the things people instantly tend to notice on entering a house, so ensure that you have these in a very presentable condition before people start coming in to view your house. Have a minimalist look for your house. If there is furniture you can do without, remove them for the moment to show the space available in your house at their disposal. So for instance, if you have a small living-room, a dining-table with four chairs, a sofa-set and a wall-unit is enough to exhibit at a showing of your house.

One other thing that home sellers tend to do is leave personal pictures everywhere. We suggest you remove any family pictures from the wall and try not having too many paintings or decorative items all over the house. The buyers are not interested in your personal lifestyle- when any potential home buyer views your house they are more likely to envision a comfortable residential place for themselves with less of your own history all over the place.

Hope these tips help and happy house selling!
