I agree that some realtors will say the sky is purple if they have you on the hook, but our guy is very straightforward and honest about his numbers.

typo: I meant "weird colors like purple"

I use a ceiling white paint on all our properties, usually Behr Ceiling White in the purple bucket from Home Depot.

imagine if they were moving out in a few months, leaving you with a few rooms to paint back from their dark green and purple vertical stripes (won't let that happen again :D ), replace flooring and chewed up doors due to the dog, and fix the counter...i think you made the right decision, and turnover should be a breeze--or at least a lot easier than it would've been if you caved into their desires a year ago----way to go!!

If one person decides to put a tan roof on instead of a black one, or paint their front door purple, instead of beige, how do you think that will change the image of the subdivision?

I found the previous owner and "suggested" she take a look at my photo album.
