Apparently, something really interesting happens to a great many people you have lived in a home for a while. It appears that all the things that were evident eyesores prior to the purchase seem to fall out of view, and regular maintenance and upkeep fly out the window. Now, I am not saying all of these occur in each instant, luckily it is usually one of the bunch, but no matter because one is bad news alone.

I have been told by such owners that it is simply life that intervenes. Whether it be increased responsibility at work, longer commutes, additions to the family, any number of other things that are nearly all consuming, or a combination of several such factors, it just happens. They have the best of intentions, in most cases, but fall short when action is required. Then, when it comes time to sell the home, viewers get quite an eye full, but the owners are oblivious. Do not let this happen to you, whatever it takes. Because in the long run you are lowering the overall value of the place.
