| 9. | Paint is Your Ally
"Here's one of the best tips we have on Sell This House. Paint is your biggest ally when
hiding the flaws of your house. There are countless times when we don't want potential
buyers to notice an ugly vent, odd nooks, or less than perfect base boards. We simply
paint them to blend in with the walls and no one ever notices."
