One of the most important things to getting the most moola out of your home, and getting it sold FAST...
is sprucing up your place so every buyer that walks in the door says "wowza!"
(or "Zoinks" if he is Shaggy from Scooby Doo)
Don't skimp on this part of the process - it sucks to finally be doing all the things you were gonna do but never did...only to move out of the house. But it'll be worth it.
