10 Minutes after our last blog....

About ten minutes after we wrote the piece about yesterday's showing on our personal home which is on the market, the phone rang. It was the showing agent from that showing wondering if she could reshow the people who had come by.

We were thrilled! Of course she could come by. Even after spending the morning fine tuning, we ran around putting last minute finishing touches throughout.

As soon as the bell rang we exited stage left to leave them alone to give it all the looks in all the nooks and crannies. It was a very cold day and to make our back yard camp out more entertaining, sleet pellets began to fall from the grumpy looking sky.

From the comfort of the covered patio, we shivered and waited. Twenty five minutes later they were still looking.

Their agent came out at that point and told us to come back in. The prospects felt it was too cold for us to be outside and they were fine with us being in the house while they continued to look and measure.

All the looking and measuring took from 3:45til 5pm so they know the house as well as we do now! They had a contractor with them so they are obviously planning to expand the redo we just did. That is IF they make an offer we can work with.

One step at a time. Yesterday at this time we knew there was some interest, and they thought our home was pretty. Today we know they like it well enough to measure it and consider making further modifications. Wonder what we will know this time tomorrow!

Selling a house is not for the faint of heart. I am now convinced that it is not possible to totally detach yourself from the space in which you live.
