We had 2 showings this week and an open house today. The realtor said there was tons of traffic and 3 very interested parties to follow up with!! Praying for a contract!!
amethyst321 is sleepy...
How I did it: Knowing we would be moving about five hours away in less than a year when my husband got out of the military, we moved into base housing to make it easier to fix up our duplex and give it a better opportunity to be sold. We moved out in December '08. It took until March '09 to do all the repairs needed, including repainting the whole interior ourselves and replacing all the carpet.We then called up a realtor who a friend recom… Read how I did it…
Demented_Dolly is at work, trying to stay sane!
How I did it: I told everyone I knew. I couldn't afford to put it on the market since I just wanted it gone *yesterday*. I did what I could and cleaned up a lot. It was a real job. Read how I did it…

How I did it: We initially worked the "FSBO" option and had a buyer lined up. We moved most of our stuff to storage. On closing the title company pissed the buyer off and he walked away from our handshake deal. Then the market crashed.Then we hired a severly depressed realtor who did nothing for the entire contract...Then we hired another realtor who managed to get us an asking price half way between what we had the first buyer online for and what… Read how I did it…
Constance Merritt is beginning
How I did it: I met with my realtor and listed the house on March 31st. In a previous meeting he had gone through the comps with me and discussed our local housing market. After figuring out that the price he suggested would be enough to pay off my mortgageand pay a down payment and closing costs for the condo we wanted to buy, I agreed to the price he suggested. He also suggested that I have my house pressured washed, which I also di… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Did a lot of delayed maintenance. Painted everywhere. Redid the basement from paneling to a finished painted surface. New ceiling and electrical outlets. Put furniture and stuff in storage to create more space in the living and closet areas. Got a warrenty for the appliances, fixed a leak in the roof, cleaned like mad. Read how I did it…

NikkiLah is planning how to take control of all the things that stress her out
I have had one valuation done already and have another one being done today, hopefully then I can decide on a price and get it on the market. Note to self: must work on some other goals such as getting the house sorted and clearing out junk!!

Today at noon! The 2 dogs and the 2 kids and I are packing up and headed to my parents for lunch. That sounds much simpler than it actually is…
in conjunction with moving out of this hell hole, i will first need to sell my crappy falling apart house. i know what needs to be done in order to just put it on the market. slowly but surely i will spend free time and extra money this winter towards fixing “little” things that need to be fixed before listing it.
1. paint in bedroom (at least)
2. fix ceiling in bathroom
3. fix back door issues
4. paint or camo outside of house
5. fix dining room window/bars
6. curb appeal
7. touch up paint through entire house
8. de-clutter/sell stuff
9. add shades in front two rooms.
10. clean clean clean clean clean clean
11. FIND A DECENT AGENT AROUND HERE

Heidi stopped by last night and I sat out on their porch while I waited for Susan to pick me up to go to the Oceano Melodrama, which we know I love. Steven said that they were going to try and live this month, as if they have bought my house and have that mortgage payment.
Yippee! They are truly interested in my house.
I was going to do the same thing this month. See if I could live on what a new house mortgage payment would be. Then property taxes on my house and mom’s house (will that house ever be “my house”?) came due and the deductible for the work on the car that the flying sheet metal on the highway has caused and then there was that wee bit of a misclick on my part where I paid my credit card in full…...twice!
Steven also mentioned they both get their step increases next month, which would help make up for their furlough days a bit.
It seems to me that then it is the holiday time and no one does much business at the holidays. I’m comfortable embracing that I’ll simply keep culling household goods from the boxes in the garage through the end of the year.

The people that really like my house brought their out of town parents over to look at my house today. I suspect I will know soon if they are interested or no longer interested in buying the house. =)
I the past couple of months i realised that i become atached to my house. Bad, bad, bad habit. So i thought o selling it.
This week i riched the necessary level of energy to do it.
Remains to find what i want: a house at countryside or an apartment in our NGO house ? I tend for the later, i’m more comfortable with the first. Also i thought of finding a house near Brasov, and i felt that Firenze is the next step. Should i talk with the italian retail operations consulting co. ? or with an time-sharing management/ consulting co. like that one from Spain ?

I have people come in and I tell them to look around the house and meet me in my garden when they are done. We sit in the garden and chat a bit. I ask them what they like about the house.
The eleven o’clock couple said “The shower”. They don’t like the house at all, really. If that is the best you can say about the house, this isn’t the house for you.
The ten o’clock couple, with a a son that will turn one at the end of the month were nice. When I asked them what they liked, they said “Everything!”
I hope they buy the house. They are qualified for a bit less than the asking price, but its close enough, really. They live in the apartment directly across from my house. Their front door looks at my front door. I think that’s a good thing. For the three months they have lived there they have been looking at my house, probably wishing they lived here instead of in that apartment.
Her name is Heidi too! Seems like destiny…...... stay tuned!

It would seem that all it takes for people to want to view my house is for me to make a Total Mess of it while I pack to be at a conference for a week. I now have two views coming Sunday morning. One at ten and one at eleven. That gives me tomorrow to fetch miss lily belle and them come home and be Cinderella. Unpack, do laundry, clean and spend good quality time with lily.
Hold good thoughts that the house actually sells!

Totally not interested. Has five children and a wife. This house is way too small for that.
The city emailed me that they had heard from another interested person. Maybe I will hear from them when I get home from Tennessee
