Selling your home can be a very emotional decision because this is where many milestones in your life occurred. Perhaps it was your very first home, or the first home you bought with your significant other. And if you’ve lovingly and painstakingly made renovations and upgrades, the home may hold even more significance. However, when you decide to put your home on the market, it's best to keep your feelings in check.

(Think: Diane Keaton on the beach in the movie “Something’s Gotta Give.”)
Paint colors matter. They convey a mood and a sense of style and can define a space.
