Kathy Liss with Jeff Liss
We acquired this home through a foreclosure. The home was vacant for approximately 6-months. The house had a great foundation but needed any update. The houses in the area were built in the 1950s for veterans returning from war. A neighbor showed me a flyer that listed the monthly payment of $69.00 per month to purchase, times have changed! We updated the plumbing, added a bedroom by removing some walls and installing new ones. The bathroom changed from green to gray and the kitchen was completely remodeled with new granite countertops, a wall was removed and changed to a pony wall, and all new flooring and cabinets were installed. The interesting situation was we pre-sold the home before it was completed and were able to work with the new buyers to get the finishing touches, they desired.
