Many of you that are taking advantage of the real estate market could be sweating your appraisal! When you purchase your home the lender will send out an appraiser to make sure the loan your receiving measures up to what the bank is lending.

Selling a home was difficult even before the market started to slide. Now, every penny counts more than ever, which means that every leaky window, every dangling gutter and every ugly cabinet can make a big difference in the price of your home. While we all have a natural tendency to nest in the places we live, the reality is that many of the changes we make (or don't make) can make or break our home's asking price.

What to do? and what not to do!
