Color That Sells: Faster Listings

Sept 25, 2025 • Metro Atlanta

Paint that photographs beautifully, calms a walk-through, and widens buyer appeal will help your listing move faster. We use clean prep, crisp lines, and buyer-friendly palettes from Sherwin-Williams and Pantone to make rooms feel bright, modern, and move-in ready.

Go-to neutrals that win on camera

  • Sherwin-Williams Alabaster (SW 7008) — soft, warm white that flatters natural light and shows well in photos.
  • Sherwin-Williams Pure White (SW 7005) — versatile gallery-clean backdrop that makes trim and furnishings pop.
  • Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) — balanced greige buyers recognize and love across styles.
  • Pantone 427 C — a calm, cool gray that reads crisp without feeling cold.
  • Pantone 7527 C — warm, modern beige that pairs with wood tones and black accents.

Our selling-ready repaint, step by step

  1. Walkthrough & color picks: Quick consult focused on photos and first impressions for your target buyer.
  2. Surface repairs & caulk: Nail pops, dents, gaps—fixed so walls and trim read “new.”
  3. Clean lines: Pro masking, dust-controlled sanding, and consistent sheen selection per room.
  4. Premium paints: Sherwin-Williams interior lines in realtor-friendly sheens (mostly satin/eggshell; semi-gloss for trim/doors).
  5. Staging-friendly finish: We coordinate sequencing so photos and showings can proceed smoothly.

Where this makes the biggest difference

  • Listings that need a clean, bright update for photos and virtual tours.
  • Homes with mixed touch-up colors or high-traffic scuffs that distract buyers.
  • Vacant spaces where paint sets the tone for scale and warmth.
