When it's an obvious tear-down, should you bother to present the place nicely at all?

When it's a teardown, does it matter what the home looks like?

My response?

1. Who says it's a "tear down"? Yes, great lot .82 acres in top suburb, with beautiful trees. (for $1,075,000) but a tear down?

2. Is the estate sale imminent? Is the house for sale or the candle sticks?

That turquoise and olive green is a current Crate and Barrel combo. They started it last year and have been running with it. I, even, used it last year, to garner multiple offers!

Mind you, they said this was a tear down, too. And the family living there are very happy, thank you!

What d'you all think?
