Please Remove Drying (Marijuana) Plants When Selling Home

Dried herbs, or drying (pot) plants? It certainly can’t be helping the sale of 442 Detroit, but it might be helping the occupants cope with a declining market, or pending eviction. Regardless, it’s “two for one” on this home, so you better get it while supplies last…the homes that is. -442 Detroit [MLS] [Disclaimer: Of [...]

149 Mangels…Before, After, and What Could Have Been

Before: After: What could have been: We can’t emphasize enough, the importance of inspections, and hiring qualified professionals to do renovations for you. Sold in December 2006 for $524,250, and yes…it was overbid from $399,950.  What a shame.  A total and complete shame.  So sad.  -Home Collapses in Sunnyside Neighborhood in SF [sfgate] -Getting Back Your [...]
