To Sell or Not to Sell

We found a couple of houses that we are interested in, in an area we are interested in. One house is amazing, at a decent price, with a few draw backs: like a small master and no bathtub in the master bath. Oh, but the kitchen! A girl would want this house on the kitchen alone!! And as the realtor told us, it’s really women who buy houses. If you can hook the woman, you’ve got the man.

So we decided to put our New and Improved House on the Market and see what happens. The realtor came over yesterday and took pictures and videos. We kept the kids corralled in the center of the room, running interferences, so they wouldn’t touch/move/drop/spill/wipe smuts on anything while the guy did this. We turned on a movie to distract them for a few minutes. I think they sensed the obvious ploy to distract, and being the focused creatures that they are, would not give us 10 seconds of uninterrupted conversation with poor Mike, the realtor. He was patient and kind. Me? Not so much.


All in all, it went well, and the house looked good. Hopefully good enough to sell. Time will tell…
