As we walked into the house it looked as if the former owner did not own any cleaning supplies. The dust on all countertops, windowsills and floors was inches thick. The house reaked...turns out it was the carpets. We removed them immediately! 
Day 1 painting: the faux paint on the family room walls, dining room and living room walls were next to go. We were lucky enough to have so many family members helping us! We were able to move in within 3 days of the closing. The ladies did all of the cleaning...that took a while! The men did the painting and moving. We definitely needed their help and were so grateful that they offered. We paid them with food and drinks :-) Without their help we'd still be cleaning up his mess, even now, 6 months later!
We were definitely lucky to have a real estate agent who helped us see through his mess when we looked at the house for the first time. Without her expertise, we probably would have walked in the door and right back out. Thankfully she showed us the potential in this home, and we are so happy she did. We really love it here! If you are every looking for a new home..Julie is the way to go!
