[quote=Anonymous]Light is more important than color (and obviously light will affect the paint color). These colors you mention are fine, OP.

Pay attention to your photographs, especially in pics put up on the internet or flyers. Do not allow you realtor to show photos that are not taken in the best light. Usually sunlight streaming into a clean room will show it to most advantage. The best light may vary by room orientation, it must not be blinding (otherwise everything looks washed-out), so the photographer has to position him or herself correctly in the room or wait for afternoon or evening sun. Also beware of softer lighting to try and mask imperfections because it's too obvious.

Experiment now while you have the time, and for the outside photo, think about curb appeal: trim your bushes very neatly and if you don't have a riot of spring flowers, plant some in pots at strategic places for the photo (if you can maintain the flowery look during open houses this summer, so much the better - you also might have to water south-facing lawn). Spring photos are usually very popular even if you're not actually selling at that time - people like to see how pretty your place can look.

During visits, the important thing is no smell! This is difficult to acheive if you're living in the house, but try. Open all the windows. No clutter of any kind. Super clean - no stains, marks, dust, etc.

Light and airy does it.[/quote]
