- 04/14/11 08:43 AM
Does your listing smell like D-O-G? If so, it may be the reason it hasn’t sold. I recently stopped into an Open House to check out a home that’s been on the market for nearly a year. It has gone through numerous price reductions and at least 2 Realtors that I’m aware of. When I walked in the door, I was assaulted by an overpowering “sting” of chemical cover-up which, in my case, means an instant headache, watery eyes and a frantic urge to get out as fast as possible. Not to mention the intense annoyance of having to breathe toxic … (5 comments)

As a bonus, you save the cost of an expensive shine product used on show animals. (Works even on a horse!) Keep a dog from scratching its ears by wiping them out regularly with a soft cloth dipped in undiluted white distilled vinegar. Remove skunk odors by wiping down the … (0 comments)

Two big problems banks face when taking a home in a foreclosure or short sale are, the condition of the home after it's occupants vacate, and getting the occupants to leave in a timely manner after the home sells.
