At Sage & Grace Realty Group, we believe in combining timeless real estate expertise with modern tools to give our clients every advantage. One of those tools is artificial intelligence (AI), and it’s changing the way we help home buyers and home sellers make confident, informed decisions.
Case Study: A Kitchen and Bath Transformation Before Listing
When preparing a recent home for market, we knew the kitchen cabinets were a challenge. They were solid and well-built but very worn, and the dated brown finish didn’t fit the fresh, updated look today’s home buyers are seeking.
As part of our marketing strategy, we all decided to have the cabinets professionally painted. But before choosing a color, we used AI to virtually “test” a variety of shades and finishes to see how they might look in the actual kitchen.
We started with the original photo of the brown cabinets and ran several color simulations. AI allowed us to view the kitchen in minutes with different paint colors - from warm off-whites to modern grays and crisp whites. After reviewing multiple options, we chose Alabaster by Sherwin Williams because it had the broadest appeal for resale and complemented the existing countertops and flooring beautifully. Our real-life painter got to work. (Message us if you need a recommendation for a painter, or handyman, or REALTOR!)
Here’s what happened next:
Original kitchen: Brown cabinets with visible wear.
AI simulation: Simply White cabinets, clean and bright.
Actual painted kitchen: The real-life transformation was almost identical to the AI rendering — a bright, inviting space that photographed beautifully and made a great first impression for home buyers.
Similar story in the baths, we choose Sherwin Williams Charcoal Blue after AI testing.
Why This Matters for Our Clients
We use AI to help sellers see how small changes can have a big impact on market appeal. But this technology isn’t just for sellers - home buyers can benefit, too.
If you’ve ever toured a home and loved the floor plan and location but struggled to picture it with different wall colors, updated finishes, or a remodeled kitchen, we can help. AI allows us to:
-
Virtually update paint colors, finishes, or furniture.
-
Show options for flooring or countertop changes.
-
Visualize light remodels or more significant updates.
And it doesn’t stop with the vision - we connect our clients with trusted contractors and service providers to bring those ideas to life.
The Bottom Line
AI is just one of the ways we’re helping clients move forward with confidence. Whether you’re selling a home that could use a few updates or buying one that needs a little imagination, we can show you the possibilities - and then help you make them real.
