It was three weeks ago that Mark said to me one evening, I think we should sell our house and see about moving into something bigger. My initial response was we aren't ready to do that. But the idea of being able to move into something with at least 4bedrooms, no more room sharing really caught my interest. I had my doubts. I wasn't sure we would be able to financially, so Mark suggested we contact a family friend, who is also our mortgage broker.
A week later, we meet with our broker and he gave us the go ahead. Two days later we met with our realtor. One week later, our realtor came back, took pictures and we wrote up the listing. And yesterday, it officially went on the market. And tonight, we have our first showing.
The past three weeks have been a world wind. We started by getting rid of a truck load of stuff for rummage sale, then rented a storage unit and filled it up with more stuff. Next came the painting and touching up any projects around the house. Then the house was scrubbed from top to bottom. And finally, the house pressure washed, the lawn manicured, weeded and new bark chips. The result- a house that is ready to be sold! Now, lets keep our fingers crossed we find a buyer quickly. Keeping the house in such pristine conditions with three young kids and a dog on the loose is going to be another challenge altogether!
