- 06/05/12 06:07 AM
In March I listed a townhome for sale, and the activity on the listing was a little slow.

I solicited feedback from the agents who showed the property and consistently they told me the property did not show well. I had discussed with the owner upfront painting the property and cleaning the carpets. These two simple … (4 comments)
