When the house next door went up for sale, I knew that it would be hard to find a buyer for it. It needed some work done on the inside and out before it would be restored to what it used to look like. I could see from my kitchen window that the deck was in need of some serious deck restoration and the front yard had brick pavers all down the walkway that needed to be tended to.

The first couple of times that there were showings, you could see that the people always were pointing out the deck and that it needed to have a brick paver restoration job to be done. I really felt bad for the real estate agents who were taking their time out, to show this house that was in poor condition to people who could not see the potential in it. This particular house was really a beautiful house at one time and it was just neglected by the old owners.

Then one day, I noticed a sold sign on the real estate sign in front of the house that was next door. Thirty days after that, there were all kinds of contractors at that house working their magic on the inside and out to make it what it used to be. A really great family moved in about sixty days after that, and they take real good care of the house now.
