The house is up for sale and we've had (thankfully!) many showings this past month. We clean, we stage, we bake cookies, we leave, and we pray they will love it enough to make an offer to buy it.
Early last week we had someone come through for their THIRD time! Needless to say we were psyched, only to find out we were "a close second and they put an offer in on another house." Argh!
So late last week we had a request for a Friday afternoon showing. December 23rd nonetheless and we were having a party that evening. We requested a morning showing unless of course they'd like to attend the party where they could mix, mingle and check the sizes of the closets. They decided to come in the morning so we cleaned, we staged, we baked cookies, we left and they liked it! They liked it so much they emailed a LONG list of questions and then came back this morning for another look.
I felt the questions were very encouraging. Ie: Are there any children in the neighborhood? Does the school bus stop in front of the house? Would you leave the furniture and artwork in the hot tub room? Would you leave the vase with the canes by the front door?
So we cleaned, we staged, we put out Christmas candy, we left and we prayed they will love it.
Only thing is...they'll just have to love it without the canes in the vase by the front door.
