I'm having this argument with my realtor right now. She wants me to paint the entire house a boring white color, destroying all of its character; even ruin the wood cabinets by painting them too. I think she's crazy but the wife is siding with her so I don't know what the fuck to do. I don't want to ruin my beautiful stained wood with ugly, white paint. I find it hard to believe that this is what actually sells.
Bruh, 2 things.
its not going to be your house anymore.
Either you trust the realtor or you dont.
Despite sincerely understanding the parent comment's POV, yours is the correct degree of detachment for such a crucial, life-altering (I assume) set of financial decisions.
Expanding cuz I'm apparently chatty tonight - if you trust your realtor, because your realtor can demonstrate doing their job well (both with your current experience and from prior ones with others), and you the seller lack such expertise, get out of the way and let the professional work (I'm on the clueless client end of the spectrum, to be clear).
If you do not trust your realtor, identify why and fix that immediately, this is WAY too big for well-founded misgivings. That fix ranges from fixing one's own internal POV to firing the realtor, entirely situational (I've done both), but 100% critical before taking further steps. Slowing down is usually better than moving forward badly, too.
The old home I grew up in still had original wood trim complete with years of partial diy restorations that gave it an incredible visual depth. It was such a highlight of my time there because everyone else’s in town was covered in the same white paint. The only story it could tell was how good/shit the previous owner was at painting
