I have a question.
My house has darker colors.
This is the color of my office, living room, dining room and kitchen.
This is the color of my master bedroom.
The red comes across a smidgen darker in real life than it does here. Not much, but it's not a bright, primary color of red.
The rest of the house is this color:
I am getting three realtors to look at my house before I choose who to list with. I am meeting with my 3rd realtor on Monday.
The first realtor said that I should paint, but if I wanted to wait, to go ahead and do that, and get ideas from buyers, and how they feel about it. She said that I didn't have to paint, if I wanted to offer a paint allowance.
Her paint allowance was $5,000 for a 2,100 sf house.
My second realtor said I should paint immediately. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. She said that if I decided not to paint, that I should offer a paint allowance.
Her paint allowance was anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000.
I have received 2 quotes to paint my house, from two professional painters. Both have quoted me around $1,500 to paint (including paint).
Do realtors get some kind of kick-back from the painters? I am floored at the difference in what they say I should allow, and what it is actually going to cost.
