Going Once, Going Twice...
SOLD!
Well, almost.
At least, we're pretty sure it is because we ACCEPTED AN OFFER on our house!
To say we're stoked is an understatement.
In the last 50 days I have cleaned my house 19 times from top to bottom to allow people we don't know critique our home and decide if it's worthy of their permanent presence.
Thankfully the majority of the feedback was fabulous with many compliments on the updates and condition of our home.
The negatives: location and narrow driveway...you don't need to tell us that, we've lived here 12 years and have had our fill of that!
With many things still pending like inspection, appraisal, financing, we're doing our song and dance with cautious excitement.
Turns out the slowest part of selling a home occurs after the offer is accepted.
For 5 days we've sat around twiddling our thumbs wondering what's next and praying that nothing comes up to make it fall through.
In the meantime we have been perusing lots and land nearby and will have some exciting things to share about that soon.
For now, I'm enjoying my slightly dirty, plenty messy, totally lived-in home and relishing the fact that the phone isn't going to ring with yet another showing appointment.
One more thing before I go, funny showing story.
We had a showing scheduled around noon one day so I took the kids out of the house for the morning to help keep the house clean and pass some time with the intention of returning to clean it before the showing.
Bri was sleeping since he works all night and gets home at 8am.
An hour before the showing I pull in our driveway to find the realtor there with her client and they had already been through the house.
The messy house that held my sleeping husband!
In my suprise I mentioned my husband's presence in the bedroom and explained his work schedule to which the realtor replied that she had put her ear to the door, heard a fan on and concluded that someone was sleeping in there.
They just skipped that room and looked at everything else.
Yep, for real.
Selling a home is something else.
