Welp, shit just got real. The house of the person that made the offer on this house has sold. The contingency has been removed and I now have a firm offer. The appraisal and inspection have been ordered. I'm pretty sure this is going to happen. I go back and forth...
Driving around yesterday, we looked at the house that must sell for our offer to go through. There were a bunch of cars in their driveway. Nobody wipes my sweat! Besides all the cars, the next door neighbor -- an older man (mid-70's at least!) -- was mowing his grass....
The house belonging to the person that made the offer on my house contingent on selling hers is now online. Honestly, it's a GREAT house. A house that I think will sell quickly. It's under $300k; it has more square footage than mine; it's decorated tastefully; and...
I know, I should ALWAYS be open to a showing of a house I'm wanting to sell. But not today! It's yucky and rainy and doesn't look like it's going to stop soon. Thunder and lightning and the smell of wet dog -- welcome to my world. Today is trash day and I know my cans...

Received an offer today contingent upon the sale of the buyer's current house. It was a strong offer and I accepted it. Basically, it's like a first right of refusal. My realtor will continue to market my house and it will continue to be available. But if there's an...
The 80's house is the first home I've ever listed for sale with a realtor. In addition, I've never purchased a home through one either. The only experience I've had prior to this is the person that purchased the villa (my first home) had a realtor. Because I'm a...
Mom mentioned to me how she felt the online photos of the 80's house for sale didn't really look like the rooms do in "real life." Primarily, her complaint centered around photos of the family room. Upon seeing the listing, I thought the purple on the walls in that...
