Ask your real estate broker to help you select a neighborhood with a recent history of increasing property values. Also look for a house thats been on the market for a long time; the seller may be ready to deal. The house should be comparable in size to its neighbors, structurally sound, but in need of modernization. Start with the landscaping and the home's exterior. This is what the buyers see first. Next, concentrate on the a bright "hot spots" of buyer appeal kitchen and modem baths. And look for ways to increase closet and cabinet space.

The coins collected in jars were sent to the LDS Transplant Unit in Salt Lake City at that time. The checks that were sent there cannot be reimbursed by the Transplant Unit, however, the money is still in the transplant unit acount. It can't be refunded because it was a donation to a charitable organization. Therefore, I am suggesting that this money be turned over to Barry Wright, who is in great need of a similar transplant. He is $40,000 short and this will help a great deal. Please send copies of checks to me at P.O. Box 911, Moab UT 84532. This ad will run four weeks ending on May 1, 1997.
