Why you can't afford NOT to get your home in top condition if selling or leasing in today's market - 09/30/08 12:51 PM
Considering our economic condition and the real estate market today, I feel it is worth repeating just how important it is to have your house professionally prepared for sale before listing it.  The following post was written in response to an article on MSN.COM which lists the top five things sellers should do to increase their odds of selling.
