Ideally, an amateur should be able to mask his inexperience by exuding confidence and becoming educated on how to carry out the transaction.

In my career, I've learned you have to be the chameleon, change your colors to match the situation.

Stain is extra but this includes all the millwork around windows and floors etc. so 2k sq house  4 to 4500 to paint interior   same for exterior thats body of house trim and seperate door color Another 4 to 4500 for grand total of 9k.. for a 2k sq ft new build in Portland market.

I got a keyword alert for Cleveland, so I figured I'd chime in with some color on Cleveland in case that is a market you dig deeper into.Having sold over $200 million in Cleveland rentals over the years, I can say that Cleveland is a very tricky market.

I just closed on a property today and the seller said the interior paint color is "summertime", the color that Fannie Mae painted all their foreclosure interiors at the time (2011). 

I only wish the American people took the time to look at their leaders without the rose colored glasses.

I'm a big fan of neutral colors Light tan walls/ Creme Trim.

Lathe is on, then the scratch coat, then the brown coat, then the color coat.

I enjoyed all the answers and I wore a mustard colored button up (pretty dress) and some slacks.

Off white in a pleasing cream color.
