Use Flower Power To Sell Your Home

So often the advice from your Realtor is to keep it neutral. Pick wall colors that can’t possibly harm the sensibilities of any buyer. Pick exterior colors as bland as white bread. And for the most part, I agree.

Yet this time of year, homeowners throughout Portland can find scores of hanging flower baskets that will give these neutral-colored houses some pop and sizzle.

For $20, the right flower basket will catch the eye of a homebuyer. And unlike a welcome mat, this welcome sign can be seen by people driving by, walking on the sidewalk, and better yet buyers pulling up for their first impression.

It’s a little detail that gives back big.
