need opinions about selling a house

You can clean it up. When my grandma died we had to do this to her house. We had to re-primer all the walls before any paint went on, ceiling included. All carpet and pad replaced. All window coverings thrown out and replaced. Tile in the kitchen and bathrooms had to be scrubbed clean and the windows had to be scrubbed. All the trim work had to be painted. Door hardware scrubbed, kitchen cabinets and appliances replaced... . the whole works. It was a lot of money to make it livable to non smokers, but in So-cal it sold in less than 3 days on the market and at a hefty profit(about 23 times more than what they paid for it).
