With our three dogs going in and out constantly, the house could use a good cleaning that really can't be done with all the furniture in place, so... Seller will rebate $5,000 dollars to the Buyer at the Act of Sale that should more than cover the cost of a thorough cleaning and any touch-up painting that needs to be done before moving in! This should help to really enjoy your new home!
