Anyone with experience and tips on painting paneling?

[Guppy]

26. I am closing on one house I have owned for 11 years.

We prepped it for selling. We did a major refresh and I mean major. We have sold 2 houses this year and both sold in 3 days. My realtor said to me we really know how to prep a house. One of our good friends stages them. We all work as a team.

We blew out 2 walls. and put hardwoods in the kitchen. It used to have vinyl. We sanded and restained the floors throughout the house
We put in all new bathrooms and we took the kitchen cabinets to the ceiling. .We then put in all new appliances and pit in quartz countertops. We added an island.

We framed in the laundry room(was in the garage) to be part of the living space. We painted the cabinets white. We even put in new ceilings as it had spackle ceilings. This project took 3 months.
It sold in 3 days and we got list price.
My original residence which we sold in April(height of the season) got 99% of asking price.

Both house were "hot houses" on redfin and it was noted they would not last. They didn't. We didn't even make it to the first weekend. I believe they could have gone to a bidding war. I took the money and ran.

We spent 35k to make 70K

5 houses were listed in the neighborhood. Our's was the last one listed and the first one that sold.

I say take out the paneling and if possible blow out walls. Open spaces sell fast. Ours looks very modern inside.

PM and I will send you the listing. It closes in 10 days.
