So you want to buy a piece of crap, and make it your own? Good for you…my motto has always been- Buy Ugly, and make it pretty. A great way to earn some sweat equity. Well, for you folks who want to do a lot of work to your new condo….pay attention!

Introducing…the Bagster. No, I am not being paid for this endorsement…just thought it was about time someone got off their butt and came up with a good alternative for getting rid of large interior piece of debris. Lighter and less costly than those huge 2 ton pieces of steel you used to have to rent.

        Usually I spend my time explaining/educating my clients or future clients on the best way to sell their home; in this blog I will be doing exactly the opposite.  Here is the easiest way to NOT sell your condo.   First, if you don’t care about selling your house or condo please don’t call or email me.  Second, once it is listed, put a very uncooperative tenant that is horribly filthy, unpleasant, and sickening into your home.  Not only will this help ensure that you will never sell your property, but it will most likely piss off 99% of the buyers agents and their clients.   If you are thinking about selling your house or condo sometime this millennium, please feel free to drop me an email or give me a call.  I would love to talk Center City Real Estate with you!  Zach@CenterCity.com
