Photos have been taken

     The photographer came last night to take photos of the house.  It didn't take too long but she did take many.  We had to remove some things out of the way that didn't look bad but the realtor wanted a clean shot of the rooms.  The photographer will take the pictures and do her thing by cropping or editing the pictures and send these to the realtor.  The realtor will write the copy for the ads, flyers and MLS listing on the Internet. She will pick out what pictures will be used and then send it to their layout person to finish.

     Sometime next week, we will have the For Sale sign in place and then the real fun begins.  All the realtors from this office will make a trip to the house to view it and then it will be open for all the other realtors around to come take a look.

     We are in no hurry so if it takes a while to sell, we are OK with that.  If it is sold before we are ready to make that move to South Carolina, we will rent around the area until that time arrives.  The house looks terrific and we have done everything we can to make it presentable to people.  There will always be people who come in and make comments as to why they don't like something.  Everyone will have their idea in their mind as to what they want and if they don't see it or feel it, this is their decision to make to walk away and look at another place.  We did the same thing when we looked for a single story house.  Some of the homes were in poor condition, or needed a face-lift, or just wasn't in the right area.  So many things you have to look at when buying.  It took us a while to find the home we are in right now.  You just have to have patience when selling but it isn't easy.  You are anxious to get your life moving on and not wanting to go through that waiting period.

     So now it is on to the next step in the process.  We are excited and anxious to get that first person to look at the house and get their comments.  Comments are just that, comments.  It is not a reflection on you but what fits with them.  It is still hard not to take it personally and grumble about their intelligence but we have to keep it to ourselves and smile and know you will get through the waiting.
