⨠CONDITIONALLY SOLD â¨
If you've ever sold a home while raising kids and owning pets... you deserve a medal. đ
As excited as I was to list our home, I won't even try to pretend it was easy.
The closer we got to showings, the more I found myself saying things like...
"Please make your bed."
"Can someone wipe the bathroom counter?"
"Pick up your dirty clothes!"
Meanwhile, my teenagers kept reminding me that "People know we still live here, Mom." đ
Then Mother Nature decided to join the fun with a record breaking rainfall. Between two cats, a dog, muddy paws, and what felt like 13,788 requests to go in and out of the house all day, I think I spent more time mopping floors than doing anything else.
Needless to say... I was VERY thankful when we accepted an offer after just two (very long) days on the market!
This experience also reminded me why I believe in trusting the professionals you hire - As REALTORSÂŽ, we spend so much time helping our clients separate emotion from strategy. When it's your own home: you're emotionally invested. Every memory, every project, every late night spent painting or renovating makes it difficult to look at your home objectively.
So I did exactly what I hope my own clients do when I present them with market data... I trusted the professionals around me.
My teammates looked at the comparable sales, current buyer demand, and market trends without the emotional attachment that I had. I trusted their advice, and I'm so glad I did.
The response exceeded my expectations, with multiple strong offers after just two âđźdays on the market.
A huge thank you to everyone who booked a showing, shared kind words, and expressed interest in our home. It has been so rewarding to see others love this home as much as we have over the years. đ¤
Now... fingers crossed for our purchase to come together so we can offically prepare for our next chapter. đŚ
