YOU are right about this home being STUNNING! I  love the layout of this home, what an incredible transformation after it was updated with furnishings and paint.

Paint makes the best profits... Thanks for sharing... I will reblog this...

It is important for the potential buyer to be able to visualize living in the space.  Nicely done!  It looks so much better!

Joan - this is a perfect example to show clients on what a difference paint can make

First, what a wonderful job. I will have to share this with one of my clients, it should help. All my best, Jim

Posted by Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (Brand Name Real Estate) over 3 years ago

This is exactly the kind of post that I would show a client when discussing how to prepare a home for sale. Sometimes when they can see the dramatic difference in before and after pictures, they become able to see their home through a potential buyer's eyes.

Jim - I show these Before & AFters to clients when we are looking at "fixer" types of homes

Kelly ... exactly!   Thanks for sharing

Uh, like blue did they?!

What an amazing difference!

Pippa - Wow!  Somebody really liked the color blue, didn't they?  I love the transformation!  :)

Wow absolutely beautiful transformation. I wish I could show this to some sellers who think their colors rock lol. ~Rita

Posted by Kenna Real Estate over 3 years ago

Don't you wonder sometimes if owners have gone colorblind or what?  The difference is outrageous and wonderful.  Thanks for sharing.  I wish I could afford to have you fly out and do my house.

Posted by Marian Goetzinger Crystal Coast Real Estate NC (Pine Knoll Shores Realty 252-422-9000) over 3 years ago

What a difference paint choices can make, huh?  I can see that the home owner enjoyed the blues, but when you made them realize that they were painting to SELL, they certainly stepped up to the plate!  Great job.

Posted by Real Estate Virtual Assistant & North San Diego County Real Estate Agent (Christine Wade) over 3 years ago

What a difference.  I love that stove just wish I could cook.

Posted by John Walters (Licensed in Slidell, Louisiana) (Frank Rubi Real Estate) over 3 years ago

There must have been a big sale on blue paint a few years back, LOL. Nice improvement.

Posted by Rich Mielke, REALTOR, Frederick Maryland Real Estate (REMAX Results, Frederick MD) over 3 years ago

Excellent transformation!  Love the choice of colors.  That blue in the kitchen totally didn't go with that stainless steel oven/range.

Posted by Kris Kombrink ~ The Kombrink Team (RE/MAX Excels - Chicago's Western Suburbs) over 3 years ago

Even after 27 years of being in the real estate business, I continue to be stunned by transformations of homes by paint.  Using the lighter colors, and taking down the heavy draperies, allowedthe appearance of space, and airiness.  Congratulations on the sale.

Posted by Myrl Jeffcoat (Real Living Great West Real Estate) over 3 years ago

Pippa,

Great presentation! This has given me some great ideas.  I have a new listing coming on the market - contemporary and I'm trying to determine the best use of $$s to maximize their ROI.  I may call you about this one.

Posted by Tracy Santrock-Cary NC Realtor (Fonville Morisey/Santrock Realty Group, Inc. ) over 3 years ago

What a transformation of the rooms.  It really looks fantastic, and I love the paint colors.

Posted by Rebecca Gaujot, Realtor WV Real Estate in Greenbrier County (Coldwell Banker Stuart & Watts Real Estate) over 3 years ago

Hi Pippa,

Great transformation! I love before & after pics!!

Posted by Kelly Tressler (Prudential Burroughs & Chapin Realty) over 3 years ago

Amazing what a little paint and updating can do.  I've heard wallpaper is making a comeback like in the dining room.  They did an amazing job!

Posted by Heather Goodwin (Nest Realty) over 3 years ago

Hi Pippa!  First of all, congrats on that little gold star!  What a stunning transformation--AND for 6 figure PROFIT?!  AMAZING what a little vision will do for a home, isn't it?

Wow, that really made a difference.  Great photos to remind us all to get our homes "saleable."

That is a miraculous transformation!

Wow, Pippa!  Those 'after' shots are just stunning!  Great way to illustrate the need for a few updates now and then!

Posted by Carol Smith (Casmi Photography) over 3 years ago

That was a big difference.  A little paint and staging sure goes a long way.

Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (808) 384-5645 (Century 21 Liberty Homes ) over 3 years ago

Pippa, do you do these things yourself or what? I can't imagine the cost involved, even it's just paint it cost something.

Posted by Charles Stallions Real Estate Services over 3 years ago

I do love before and after shots, whether it's staging or makeovers or anything.  A picture truly is worth a thousand words.  I'm excited I just found out that one of my garden club members is a decorator who does staging, and I can't wait to work with her.

Posted by Margaret Woda, Maryland Real Estate & Military Relocation Services (Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc., Crofton, MD) over 3 years ago

I would hate to compete against you on a listing, you do a GREAT job!  Wow...

Posted by Pat Tasker, Your Milwaukee Metro Area Agent (WI) (Shorewest Realtors) over 3 years ago

Wonderful change.  Great job .  Hope it sells quickly.

Posted by Kay Van Kampen–Springfield, Ozark, Nixa Greene County Missouri Real Estate Agent (RE/MAX Broker, RE/MAX Solutions) over 3 years ago

Liked most of the "after" a lot -- but not the one with the wallpaper. All the best.

Posted by Benjamin Realty LLC over 3 years ago

Oh my gosh I hope wallpaper, the bane of my existence, is not making a comeback! 

Posted by STAR REALTY Hopkinton over 3 years ago

Pippa, there is hardly anyone here in the Rain that does better before and after pictures than you.

Posted by Gary Woltal - Assoc. Broker REALTOR® SFR Dallas Ft. Worth (Keller Williams Realty) over 3 years ago

Wow, that house went from outdated Colonial to modern, fresh, and clean!  I think white cabinets always renew a kitchen.   I love the wallpaper, but my husband who was a painter and had to remove wallpaper from many clients homes, will never let me use it!

Posted by Lauren Krady Lancaster PA Realtor (Keller Williams Realty) over 3 years ago

Tracy ... give me a call, its always fun to chat with you!

Posted by Pippa MAC, The Woodlands TX Real Estate Remax Real Estate Spring Texas Realtor (Remax Realtor, The Woodlands and Spring) over 3 years ago

Pippa - Great blog! This should be included in every one of your listing presentations for any clients with "custom" colors in their house. A round of applause from me to you!

Posted by Craig Rutman Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area Realtor (Helping people in transition) over 3 years ago

Hi Pippa! Dale from Houston (Dramatic Home Staging) - AWESOME transformation. Love the choices and application of princiiples of elements and design.  Thanks for showing realtors, who haven't yet grasped the benefits of staging, that staging does work and to the realtors/clients advantage.  Great post!
