There is no single answer, of course, but an experienced | realtor can usually spot a problem property ahead of time and {| suggest-a remedy. ae , I don’t mean a place that is simply dilapidated. I mean’ | one that has some basic. physical fault, such as no space for a garage, no back yard, an obviously poorly-planned interior, or something of that sort. 4 Perhaps it is something outside the property itself. It may be the occupancy of the property next door - a supermarket, a drive-in restaurant or a school -. any of which could affect the peace and quiet of the place. If you own such a house and want to sell it, seek the counsel. { of a knowledgeable realtor on how the problem may best be. 7 remedied. A high fence may bring.the desired privacy to the - property. A poorly-planned interior can be remodelled. An obvi- ous drawback can often be minimized by shrubbery or an inex- pensive addition. = Get: the: costs of.doing the job and weigh them: against q. the advantages of selling your house quickly. at a better price. .
