But most of the houses in a lot of Lawrence areas (at least where my property is located) are older cookie cutter homes, which just aren't going to go up in value much as there are ample supply of similar homes.

If that Realtor reads, please respond, again, I cannot find the article again, & my history is lost when we delete cookies frequently.Rick

It would cost him around $600-$700 to replace the cabinets with the generic plain white cookie-cutter type cabinets, about $75 for a formica countertop, plus the cost to fix the walls correctly and replace the pipes in the wall, plus new bathtub faucet (I suspect plumping has actually rusted since I noticed rust in the water and on the exterior of other pipes around the duplex).

A title company who can be creative and not stuck in a cookie cutter mentality.

If you have a cookie cutter house in a cookie cutter neighborhood, the figures probably will be more accurate.

Jilliene is a smart cookie and her board is very good.

Your ideal deal would be a plain vanilla house in a subdivision of cookie cutter houses.

From just what you've said so far, it sounds like too many people have their hand in the cookie jar.

Pre-paid legal and cookie cutter services like zoom and rocket simply do not have counsel on staff with specific experience in these areas.  

Perhaps bake some cookies when you show the place for that home sweet home feeling.thanks, Matt
