September 24, 2011

As of yesterday, The Drought House is officially under contract to sell… The house had only been on the market for about a week, and given the feedback we had gotten from the first few buyers who had been through the property, I’m not surprised we received a quick offer (I think there is another […]

We (pretty much) finished the rehab on The Drought House today, about 5 days behind our original schedule… We still have to install the appliances (they come tomorrow) and complete some touch-ups and punch-list repairs, but the house is ready for staging, and we expect to complete that tomorrow and get the property listed for […]
