We recently sold a home that was part of an estate...this time with the buyer's side of the transaction. When we have had the seller's side...we keep the property in curb appeal condition and pleasingly clean on the inside....
Put yourself in the buyer's position....they have looked forward to moving to a new home...are excited and have pictured the new paint colors..the garden in the back...bushes in front....and they come to the final walk thru to find
a front yard that was a field of dandelions.....If the seller lived out of the area...how hard would it be for the lister to put a lawnmower in the trunk and make the front yard a more welcoming sight/site.
How hard is it to put a bouquet of daisies on the counter....
How hard is it to leave a note saying you hoped that the new owner enjoyed their new home....a few minutes of your time....and you have helped make memories for a lifetime.....and when there is the dirty this, the unmowed that, the garage full of or garbage not removed...it makes another memory...the kind that you do not want associated with you, your company, your seller....Help make that field of dreams full of pleasant memories, it is one of the joys you can experience as a professional realtor.
Congratulations on your new home "Ms Manners" we are proud to have had the honor of representing you...we'll be over soon with the something we promised to help you "feather your new nest." We thank you, it's been our very great pleasure to be of service.
a result of this spill. Plants that are coated with heavy oil essentially lose their ability to "breathe" and the marshes could quite literally suffocate. Roots of plants would be killed as well, causing erosion of the soil back into the Gulf waters ... a serious problem along the entire coast, but most specifically in Louisiana.

had worked in the building trades with David's father years ago. While you may not be building, and updating may be your mission, we suggest that you bring the room sizes, ceiling heights....and may even choose to snap a digital picture or two for the most expert help in selecting light fixtures. The huge selection can be overwhelming...and this will help your salesperson guide you to an appropriate size fixture for the area that you are giving new light/life.
You may have as we did...the television that has been replaced but never quite made out of the house, garage, rec room. You got sooo used to seeing it, it became a natural part of the interior of your ___________and you forgot that at one time, it was a home entertainment center and is now a lump of glass, plastic, wire, etc. that serves as a place for dust to call home.
sa and gave them our entertainment relics to re-cycle...and they charged $10 each. In addition to the good news of feeling good about...cleaning...going green....becoming eyesore-less....the other good news is that Best Buy is also a smart business. While there was a $10 per set charge...they give you a $10 Best Buy gift certificate for each set....so you are "better than even !"
"This is a big house...but I can see where (laundry list of changes he would make follows) "needs" to be done. Besides, in a couple weeks, this house will be going to Sheriff's sale and I can buy it much cheaper and you won't even get paid." This somehow was starting to sound as though our commission somehow inflated the price...after all he "knew" what the price should be....and this of course, was much too high.
