After cleaning all day yesterday, our realtors came over to take pictures and list our house. They arrived at 6:30pm and left around 8:30pm! There was a lot of paper work to fill out and it was honestly very bittersweet seeing the "For Sale" sign hanging in our front yard. I may have cried. Not because I'm not excited about this next chapter, but because change is hard for me, even when it is a good thing.
The listing for our house was posted this morning. We were really excited, but weren't expecting a whole lot to happen being that it is the Thursday before Easter. So, I decided to take Hudson to Gymboree like normal and run some errands to help fix up the house. We ended up getting 4 showings for our house today! One the same day it was listed! AMAZING. O and I also got the lawn mowed (It was the first nice day I was able to get out there and wish I could have done more with the landscaping) and patched the carpet where our cat ripped a hole in it. It doesn't look perfect, but it's better than a hole. I'm fully prepared we will need to fix or repair things before moving out (per buyer request) but hey, I was expecting a little more time. EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING SO FAST!
We got feedback from one of the showings. The person wasn't interested in our house at all which is fine, but they were pretty cruel and blunt in their opinions of our home.... Apparently we have completely different tastes. Oooo do I want to contact this person (even though I can't) and give her a piece of my mind! haha O-well.
Apparently not everyone had the same opinions about our house as THE EVIL ONE because our realtor just called me to let me know she is expecting to receive 1 possibly 2 offers on our house TONIGHT! Our house has been on the market less than 24 hours and already people want to make offers! WOW I'm impressed. I have no idea what the offers will be, if they will be too low, or what.... It really doesn't matter right now. It's just very encouraging to know that our house is desirable (to some).
We are still waiting on news about the house we put on offer on. Boooo
This is/has been an emotional roller coaster ride! I didn't realize that you had to have such thick skin to go through this process. I don't have thick skin. My feelings get hut when EVIL PEOPLE criticize my home, the house I spent countless hours and lots of money fixing up. Hopefully it will turn out very positive though. Like I said, I pray that the right person or family comes to live in this house. They they will love it and enjoy it as much as we have.
God is in complete control.
