Our goal started about 2 years ago.To sell our house and move out of Illinois.With every project we start 10 more are added.Im getting the feeling that in the end we are wasting money and time. without a clear prospective of what direction to go in its hard to know what really needs to be done.I read that we need to detach ourselves from our home,I already have.I want to move so bad it hurts.But like I said its an ongoing fight with my husband with what needs to be done and what will look good for us now.We have so many plus areas here but the bad is starting to outway the good.

How I did it: I spent the whole summer cleaning, tossing, fixing, and storing. I cleaned every cabinet and closet and gave it away or packed it and stored it. I then called a real estate agent. He gave me a simple list of things to do: Bright light bulbs in every room, paint one bedroom I had not painted yet, replace the screens and work on the yard. It was difficult to keep the house clean everyday because you never know if someone was coming or not, … Read how I did it…

My husband, daughter and I are relocating from Milwaukee, WI to Clearwater, FL. Before we can get a permanent place in FL we need to sell out house in Wisconsin. I refuse to even look at any houses until we have an accepted offer because I don’t want to fall in love with something when I know we won’t be able to make an offer on it. We put our house on the market 5 months ago. We’ve had interest, but no offers. Come on stimulus!
Our agent is doing an open house this Sunday for us. I’ve got a LOT to do to get the house ready… I wish she’d given us more notice!
It still hasn’t sold. A couple wants to buy it, but they have to sell their house first. I’m going to try and rent it out for now.

We have accepted the offer that was made last week. The same day the offer was made we found our dream house in the country – amazing really! I’m so pleased but can’t quite bring myself to celebrate until everything is done. But – all the same – YAY and WOO HOO!

I think we have it! The price that we were looking for – woo hoo! We have also seen a place that we have fallen in love with on the very same day. Fingers crossed….................

The second people who came to see our house have actually made us an offer I have asked them to confirm via the estate agent but it looks promising…..wish us luck that this goes through!
We lowered our price and got an offer within days. Hopefully it will sell in 45 days or so
