Many business fields are required to process a successful home buying or selling event. We think immediately of inspectors, lawyers and accountants. Others are needed as well. How often have we looked at a home and wondered how would we ever get the Sellers to clean it up for a listing? How many times have we had Buyer Clients wanting to clean out a home that the Sellers didn't clean-out? What about when the Sellers need items brought to a Charity … (8 comments)
