Yes,

Our home is entering the end stretch and should close in less than 30 days.  I  have not been the ideal client, I have been moody, particular, not very negotiable, and quite sad.  I tell my clients they have to get to where "this is not your HOME anymore, it is just a property.  Hum, I didn't adjust to that idea too good or fast.  I think I am getting there, but I relapse occasionally and have to go to DQ to comfort myself with a Blizzard.  At this rate I could weigh 200 pounds before we are able to get our new home designed let alone remodeled. 

Oh Well, it is an acreage, I can always lose a little helping to mow, dig thistles, shovel dirt into the new raised beds, side the old garage, help with the new concrete, deconstruct the main floor..... naw. 

This experience has really been an eye opener for me, I am much more in tune with the stress and yes even mourning they go through when they sell a home.

I intend to be in that situation one day in the future when I sell my home as well. My wife goes to Sonic pretty regularly now. I wonder what she'll do when we take the plunge.  :-)

My wife and I are finishing a remodel and are considering selling our home as well.  It's a good experience for us in the industry to see how the clients feels first hand.  Helps you be a bit more empathetic.

Brett and Bill thank you for the comments and good luck with those future moves. In my life time I have averaged a move every 5 years, no I am not a military wife or kid.  It seems the older I get the harder the transition is.  My motto, keep lots of icecream on hand and know where the closest DQ is. :-)

Hi Georgia,

Well, you did it, you rascal. You passed me into ninth place in Iowa! Congratulations on that, and congratulations on the move to the new digs. Even though we haven't enjoyed that experience for almost ten years, I can still remember moving day vividly!

It was nice to see you again at the IAR convention, albeit briefly. Take care and let me know if I can help (with exchanges, not moving).

- Ken
