When our clients ask us how they should prepare their Beavercreek homes for sale, the first thing we suggest is that they paint their homes. Dollar for dollar, nothing goes further than a fresh coat of paint inside and out. Used well, it will create compelling appeal from the street, and inside, a fresh, clean, and pleasing impression. 

Is Paint Necessary? 

Ask yourself if you have any of these conditions in your home:

• Nails used on the wall
• Markings that won't come off
• Places where the drywall needs patching
• Dingy appearance
• Bright and bold accent wall colors
• People smoke inside
• A discolored ceiling
• Peeling or chipped paint anywhere on the exterior
• Dated color scheme on the exterior

If you do, chances are the house needs painting.

• Berns Garden Center - 3776 Indian Ripple Road, Beavercreek
  Berns Garden Center is literally a homegrown business. Namesakes Al and Cherie Berns founded the company in 1956 when they purchased a house with one acre of land and a greenhouse.

The center carries a full selection of annuals, perennials, and houseplants that would complement any of the great Beavercreek homes for sale. Hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
