I see it over and over again.  Home maintenance items that are not taken care of for years costing sellers thousands when it is time to sell.  One of the biggest ones I see is windows.   The paint starts to wear off of the window sills and the corners of the window - especially on the west side of the house where the sun is strongest.  If you catch this immediately and put some primer on the window, then paint it, that takes care of the problem.  If you let it go, the window sill rots and soon you have … (0 comments)
