About Longwood's Alaqua

My Septic Tank Lesson!

Sarah Maus, Realtor, GRI, CDPE, REOS Orlando/Central Florida Homes For Sale: Real Estate Agent in Longwood, FL

I would like to commend Brownie's Wastewater Solutions (of Orlando) for saving the day this past weekend! All 6 of my toilets had stopped working on Saturday, so I called for service. They informed me they could be out Sunday morning...not a moment too soon since I woke up to sewage lying in the bottom of all showers. In the meantime, I was preparing for a baby shower that I was putting on for my daughter-in-law. 2 trucks showed up Sunday at 10:00 AM, and the 2 men worked feverishly to get me up and running again in time for the guests to arrive. Turns out I was a year behind on having my septic tanks cleaned out, as well as having a burned out pump and alarm! Let this be a lesson to all who rely on septic for plumbing...get it done once every 3 years! ;-)

Common concerns and doubts of all home sellers

  • If the list price of my house is too high, no one will buy.
  • If the list price is too low, I’ll lose money.
  • Since this is a bad time to sell, I’m going to wait for the market to turn around.
  • While I’m waiting, house prices could take another nosedive.
  • If the house remains on the market too long, buyers will wonder what’s wrong with it.
  • If I do sell, the market will rebound, and I’ll lose even more money.
  • I may never be able to sell the house.
  • I’ll probably have to put my plans on hold indefinitely.

Instead of being paralyzed by ‘what-ifs’, start believing that you can sell. All it takes is a fresh perspective and a renewed mindset.
