We finally did it, we finally put our house on the market. Trying to figure out price was one thing but, having people walk through your house on a daily basis is another. It is a very invasive and hard to deal with. We have had our house on the market for about a week and it is priced right and we are getting a huge amount of traffic. I am glad that my wife and I have prepared ourselves before hand for some of the mishappenings we knew were coming. Yesterday we had 5 people come through the house and it was like a tornado ripped through our humble abode! This is just a quick guide for buyers....... from a sellers standpoint
1. Always take your shoes off in other peoples houses. You have to respect that there will be other people through the house after you and the homeowner may not be able to come back to clean up after you.
2. Make sure to close all outside doors behind you. Many households have lovable little creatures that are indoor only.
3. If there is a unbelievable driving rain do not open doors and windows and leave them open to rain all over the hardwood floors ( I may be a tad bitter about that one)
4. If there is a very nice drop ceiling in the kitchen whatever you do, do not take the ceiling tiles out and break them, especially if you are the first showing of the evening and there are people coming back for second visits.
5. DO NOT DO THIS!!! whatever you do do not walk downstairs into the laundry room that has the same really nice drop ceiling and take the tile out and break it! When you do this people will have to ask you what in the heck you are doing.
6. Did i mention that you should never never never break a second really nice ceiling tile in someones house. If you have broken one it is ok, the second one is not!
I think 6 will do it!
My wife and I are laughing right now as i write this. Things are going to happen in your house while its being shown if you let it get to you it will drive you nuts! Have fun selling your house it is an experience you probably wont do many times in your life.... make it fun.
