Where do I begin? Ups or downs? Having a house on the market and buying one all at the same time is stressful. The process just SCREAMS “emotional roller coaster”. You have an amazing high followed by a devastating low (and vice versa). Here are the latest details of said roller coaster ride since the last time I posted. Enjoy!
#1 Up: Stamey calls to say that his partner is coming over. Oh yeah, and another realtor is coming over an hour or so after him. Two realtors in one day. A weekday at that! Unheard of!!
#1 Down: I bust my a** (or “my hump” as my mom likes to say) cleaning the house–LEAVE WORK EARLY, mind you—and Stamey’s parter NEVER SHOWED UP. Dubbya. Tea. Eff?!
#2 Up: We get a call saying there is someone who wants to see our house this past Monday.
#2 Down: Niiice! We were 9 hours away from home at the time. They wanted to come at 6:30. Nabbie was out roaming the house and our MomMom watched Brady for us while we were away. She did a spectacular job, but the house was not in pristine condition.
#3 Up: Chick’s agent calls to tell us that she wants to look at it again, AND bring her family. It’s in the bag, right? Nope.
#3 Down: Chick is now having “buyer’s remorse”. She comes from a newer town home that she is renting. And! AAANNNNDDDDD she offered us WAY LESS than what we are asking for.
#4 Up: See picture below (and there is no “down” to this one because it’s just too awesome to think bad thoughts about it)

New house is looking good! And you know that I never did “pristine”.

The new house looks GORGEOUS!! I can’t imagine the stress of doing both at the same time. Keep your head up lady!
