		<description><![CDATA[Cats, dogs and other furry friends are members of our families. But when it comes to selling your home, many potential homebuyers don't want to meet these family members - and they certainly don't want to smell them as they walk through the front door. If you're in the process of getting your home ready to put on the market, you have a lot of work ahead of you. One of your primary goals is going to be to ensure that your house doesn't smell like your pets.

		<description><![CDATA[Many homeowners across the country have a mortgage balance that is more than what their home is worth. This phenomenon is known as an "underwater mortgage." Refinancing the mortgage is typically not the solution because a lender does not want to lend more money than the home is worth. Because underwater mortgages are a problem nationwide, several options are available to homeowners that are in this situation - options that allow the homeowner to stay in their home and the lender to continue receiving the mortgage payments due.]]></description>
