It's one of those crystal litters. We use "Ultimate Cat Litter" (http://www.ultimatepetproducts.com/), but I've seen other crystal litters that are actually stocked in stores and they might be worth investigating if you've got cats. And even though I have cats - when we were buying, we walked into one house that smelled of cat pee and walked right back out. We knew we didn't want to have to figure out how to eliminate that odor!

I once had to pay for prefessional landscape company to clean up an adjacent house to one that I was selling. Not much you can do but ask the neighbor, if that does not work you have to do it yourself. It is also a good idea to clean up the next door neighbors yard/house.

Nice paint jobs can really sell (or unsell) a place for me. We painted our last house after about a month of little interest to find big hits on it days after we painted a few walls. # 26 could be the #1 thing that I notice in houses… Nice paint jobs can really sell (or unsell) a place for me.

I've known people who've lost thousands to interest and added stress to their lives because they were unwilling to price their house to sell.
