Paint The House Before Leaving

Indeed.

That's what I plan to do before leaving. I'm an honest seller and I dislike selling defective items. I would love to sell my condo unit, and only part with it, in the way I received it several years ago. So what I intend to do for the prospective buyer, is: if given a decent purchase price - I will repaint the whole house for you. You name the colours you want, and I'll do it for you.
With feature wall?
Without feature wall?
You name your preference.

Infact, perhaps you know this already, in Germany - even if you're renting a house, before you leave the place, you are required to repaint or replace the wallpaper. That's the deal. It's the custom and the etiquettes of purchase and transfer from owner-to-owner or tenant-to-tenant. I guess this isn't a culture we're used to yet in Malaysia. But I'll be glad to do it for my potential purchaser. No problem.

And obviously and naturally, as with any home, through days and weeks and months and time: there would be paint cracks and teeny-weeny holes here and there, so I'm more than happy to fill them up. It's just ethical business that I promote. I like fair transactions; and happy transactions. Happy sellers; and happy buyers.

So what I plan to do is - as soon as the contract is signed and all documents are settled with the potential buyer, I'll arrange my shift to Shah Alam with my family, pack my bags, call the movers and empty the house; and leave whatever I've promised that I'd leave e.g. the ceiling fans, the lamps, the curtains, the rails, the water heaters, the air-conditioning units, etc. etc.

Hopefully things will be all out by a Friday evening, just at the start of the weekend. On Saturday morning I'll start doing all the refinement works, filling the empty holes and such, sandpapering, fluffing things up, and by Sunday afternoon everything will be back to NEW. Wow-wee! Then I pass the keys to you that evening; and the condo unit is yours! Brand new!

I wouldn't call myself the nicest chap in the world, but when it comes to things like these, it's always nice to do a good job. And it's fulfilling to the heart too. So buyers come on! For RM360K + negotiable? Any takers?
