Moving AGAIN

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

I am getting too old for this.

I am at that age where I really had hoped to never make another move either at work or at home again. At least this move is an office move within the same building so no packing or shipping will be involved.

As you can see from the picture at the top of the post I have some prep work to do painting and filling in holes and cracks. The good news is that I am more than doubling my space and my rent will be a quarter of what it is now.

Obviously the down side is the decent DOWN the steps and that there is no elevator available. More GOOD news is that the Art Gallery can use all walls down the steps, in the halls, and of course in the office and the gallery area it self. The feature picture at the top really only shows about half the space of the new Gallery (that was being used as a dance studio).

The picture above is an attached storage room that has a beautiful wood door separating it from the gallery as well as it's own separate door to the hallway. It should be a great room to keep my printers and office supplies in. Another plus is that I have my own restroom (large) that I do not have now.

Lot's of work to do over the next two weeks. I will show my progress as we move forward.

I did Inna Ivchenko . I had had enough of Real Estate and being I hit retirement age and another company offered to buy me out it was the perfect time to exit. My notary work is doing loan closings for Rocket Mortgage and others.  I am enjoying semi-retirement.

Thank you Kathy Streib . I've got a lot of work ahead of me before I get in but I know I'm going to enjoy the new space once the work is done.

Thanks Dorie Dillard Austin TX and actually I have more space then we can use so if you are an artist and want to display some pieces in the Titus & Philemon Art Gallery then bring them in.

Good morning, Bob... better you than me... but at the end of the day more space for less money more than makes up for the hassle of moving.

Double the space and a quarter the rent? That sounds like it's worth the aggravation!

Moving is definitely one of my least favorite things to do and luckily I have not had to do a lot of it, haha.

I was thinking it would be the same for me as well Endre Barath, Jr. BUT I think I will be put in the ground as that is the way Carol wants to go.

No doubt that the move is a good one financially Nina Hollander, Broker but I am concerned that there will be a loss of traffic for the Art Gallery. That being said the biggest gallery in town is NOT handy-cap friendly nor is the second biggest.

I am thinking so as well Kat Palmiotti . Right now I am in the cleaning stage and I'm not enjoying this part of the move. 😜

I have not moved my residence very often Brian England (3 times since I moved out of my parents home 42 years ago). Office wise is another story, 8 times in 20 years. 🤥
