I always get a very hard nosed detailed inspection done.The guy I use I trust explicitly & get a very detailed (sometimes 40 page) assessment of the property structure & its ancillary mechanicals.I have used that to 'disclose' deficiencies of the property structure etc , to the seller & have used same to secure a significant reduction in price.

My short sale listings took a nose dive last year and the ones I had were some of the hardest to get to approval.

There's folks in one camp that thumb their noses at formal education, believing it's a comparative waste of time, and those in the other that embrace it almost exclusively.

Toss any carpet, bleach the sub-floor, paint with oil based kills all plywood, toss baseboards and replace with new.Keep following our nose every morning when you come back, we found the cats had peed inside of cabinetry, on the vanities in the bathrooms, in closets.. exactly why we will not allow cats in any rental ever.

I came here to get a heart transplant and thankfully got one.I am a California real estate broker and have been a agent/broker since 1965 ( have it inactive at the moment, but that is to change soon) and would sue if the need arose because I don't like government sticking their nose where it doesn't belong, and I hate anything that erodes the common sense individual rights of american citizens.

So, the average New Yorker isn't making any more money, but they're paying out the nose anyway.

I'm in the Northland now because of school, so I've also been poking my nose around up here, but once I'm done, we'll probably head back to Johnson County.

We're torn on whether to sell and pay through the nose in taxes or rent for 1000-1100/mo.  

After honing your skills as a nose-to-nose salesperson, learn how to multiply your sales efforts and clone yourself by becoming a skilled marketer and effective copywriter.Eventually, you are likely to discover a niche that you want to further explore and gain expertise.

What a great idea... sometimes the most obvious solutions are right under our noses.
