I have used several brands of paint but my favorite is Sherwin Williams. Just purchased my home and it needed to be painted inside and out. I visted the store here in Pensacola on Nine Mile Rd and let me tell ya, the staff over there are very helpful, professional and friendly. They recommeded a trim and door paint that is great; ProClassic Smooth Enamel Semi Gloss. The finish is so smooth and no brush marks. They were also helpful with what type of rollers and wall paints that I should use.

My home will be beautiful when I’m done. Thank you guys over at Sherwin Williams.

In a Buyers Market the best way to attract potential buyers besides your corrected market list price is your home curb appeal.

You may have a beautiful interior but to get buyers inside you must provide the buyers with a positive first impression. This will help weed out your competition. Keep your lawn manicured, weeds out of your flower beds, fresh mulch, driveway swept and an inviting front entrance. A fresh coat of paint and new hardware for the front door will make a big different.

When a potential buyer drives by the homes that they have on their list, they will want to see the home that has that appealing curb appeal first.

Here are some suggestions that makes a listing more attractive to potential buyers:
*Place a big pot of yellow marigolds in the foyer – Yellow makes people feel comfortable.
*Give the trim around the front door a fresh coat of paint, covering up fingerprints and dings.
*Hang a small flag that says “Welcome”.
*Dribble a few drops of vanilla on the oven door and turn it to low. (It’s smell just like cookies baking).
*Fertilize the grass so it’s bright green.
