We Are Moving……….AGAIN!

The thought of getting the  house ready to go and put on the market overwhelms me.  As a realtor, you would think it would be it would be simple since  I routinely go into the homes of others and tell them what to do, hand out the check list and bring in the stager to complete the job.  By the time I come back in a week the house is decluttered, the yard is spruced up and the interior is photo ready. I have had the courage to tell clients to clean the closets, pack up the collections, hire contractors and basically put their jobs and their life on hold for a week while they focus on this most important task.

My list was long, but the phone numbers were all in my blackberry so the plan was to get the house on the market by the end of the week.  Unfortunately, the contractor wasn’t available until the next week and the house keeper comes on the alternate Friday.  Damm……I will just do it myself.

Just when I think I have 80% of the list completed, my dear friend, “The Uber Stager” comes in for 2 hours and creates another day of work for me.  We manage to fill up the third bay of the garage with all of the stuff she doesn’t like.  This uncovers areas that haven’t been dusted since we moved in over 2 years ago.

Despite the half finished list, the house is going on the market today.  The photographer does his thing, the data is entered into the MLS and the information is released into cyberspace.  We pack up the kids and the dog and head to Grandma’s house to decompress and get out of the house.  I hope someone comes to take a look.
