The Power of Paint

By Kim Parmon, February 22, 2021

Cass and Kevin lived in their home for many years and really loved it.  They ultimately needed more space and to be in a different neighborhood, but they weren’t moving because of their house.  When I first saw it, I could see the updating that Cass and Kevin had done but there were still a couple of dated elements we could improve on.  It seemed like a bold move at the time, but I suggested painting the cabinets throughout the property.  The couple had installed a feature wall in the living room that I adored, but it clashed with their cherry cabinets.

We worked on painting the cabinets and making a couple other small improvements to the property.  This home was a bit of a challenge to sell just due to the lack of a yard, although there was a ton of beautiful space on the outdoor decks.  I suggested really highlighting the decks with staging, and it made a huge difference.

After just a few days on the market we ended up with a couple of fantastic offers!  Because of all of the work we did before listing, this home sold above asking price.  Congrats, Cass and Kevin!
