16. Tell ya what we did

Just for a different point of view. House was at the tens, all painting neutral and had a cozy feeling. Got a realtors and went about 8 grand under, got 11 people the first day and 3 contracts. I had them fight for it and sold within 48 hours but I had a realtor. They know how to do those pictures just right. If you're curious I can send you my old home listing.

Opps, sold for 12 grand over. So it was fine and I was done.
