Very timely comment.
Remodeled and updated “to the max” by an MTV Cribs contractor? I shudder to think of what horrors lurk behind those doors.
I don’t get it. Its a short sale listed at $799k but its auction starting price is 50% more?
I the title actually clear??
Oops, made a typo in my email.

Michelled, what horrors lied beyond the doors?
