((Notz)) - that's wonderful news about your sister helping and loaning you money - I'm happy you're feeling supported by your family. It's also very kind they're helping you spruce up the exterior - curb appeal is very important.

Eliminate clutter from inside as well, including closets - yes people open the closets lol. Anything that doesn't serve a decorative purpose- store it away for now. I even heard personal pics should be taken down - this interfere's with people imagining the house is theirs lol.

I'm glad for now, you have some room to breath at least. Best of luck in getting a good price and I'm happy you feel the love from family - what a beautiful life lesson.
