Wow...

Saturday, May 29, 2010

So just when I thought i was going to get to do some research on toads the stuff hits the fan.  My next blog was to be about the Subaru Outback my other potential toad... but nooooooooooo... that all got changed by a phone call!  You see some time ago I put a bunch of photos of our house along with a description on zillow.com because I was getting things ready to put my house on the market. This is a real estate site that lets you list your property for free and has different pricing structures for more services.  Well the really cool thing about this site is the fact they let you list a "Make me move!" price when you first set it up... so I did!  So I put a make me move price on the house and that was over 3 months ago but recently I get a call from a  lady who says she saw my ad and wanted to know if I really wanted to sell the house... of course I said "Yes!"... so she wants to see the house on Tuesday.  So that sounds great ehhhh... well you see the house is not nearly ready for a showing because it still needs about 50 hours more work to get it ready.  Tuesday is only 72 hours away... not good ... lots of work to do...

our 
house

So we spent much of this fine Saturday scouring floors, mulching beds, moving stuff to the garage for the future garage sale... and 8 hours later we both felt like someone beat us up... so here we are and we get to do it all over again tomorrow. But there is a bright side. Even if they don't want the house this made us accelerate getting it ready so we can officially list it for sale sooner than we planned. So after a few cold adult beverages and a good burger  at a local tavern we are now re-energized and ready for another grueling day tomorrow... wish us the best...

  8. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Wouldn't it be unbelievable to get an offer from her! Are you sure she isn't a realtor looking for a listing?
