atlanta real estate: Securing Vacant Properties
- 05/06/09 05:40 AM
Check out this air conditioning unit that was vandalized. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence with vacant properties across all price points.

My advice is to place a cage over the air conditioner unit and make sure all windows and doors are covered...don't make it obvious that the property is vacant. New blinds always help and become a selling feature of the home. I would … (0 comments)
