Selling the Farm

[TMB]

Good luck with the sale.

We have done all we can do. Over the last few years, room by room, upgraded everything but the kitchen floor and cabinets, they were next on the list.

This past week Miss Tina powerwashed where needed. We are STILL decluttering.

It is very humbling to look at your life being reduced down to some boxes and other stuff. Best of luck on the farm sale.

What it is... Is Scary. We have been here, more than twenty five years. We are the original occupants, and moved in before there was a front deck, grass planted, the side porch had it's slab poured. The lot then was just 9.6 acres... and there were no outbuildings. We built the deck, poured the slab and covered the porch, planted the grass, built the first two barns... And landscaped. We added acreage as it came available. We upgraded the house as it came time to repair or replace. And we added the alarm system, cameras, whole house generator and the rest. We "know" what we have here, and every nuance.

If it sells and we move... It's a chance we take. But, we will try and better our odds.

Last move for us was 1984 and don't plan on any future move...but you never know.

Like others have said hope the big move goes smooth and you enjoy your new place! Have you found your new ranch yet?

We have dozens marked in several locations, but can't go look at any or consider making offers until our place is under contract and likely to close. We have watched a half dozen favorites sell... But there are a dozen nicd places out there and more appearing every day.

Ours will sell, or it won't, that's the key.

Where are you moving to? I'm originally from Ohio, now living near Louisville, KY.

We don't know, we are looking at six or seven states.

Another fellow here who has "been there, done that," Marine. Not the most fun adventure, but doable.

After that last big move my wife and I made in 2012, I moved again last year, which is hopefully my last time. But as has been commented in this thread, one never knows. I must encourage you both, however, with something my wife always believed. She was in real estate for most of her work career, and said that "there is a buyer out there for every house/property." We saw that to be true. Your place, which is almost totally upgraded, will definitely sell. The only factor is timing. Plus acreage is a biggie no matter what state.

When we made our 2012 move from upper Midwest (southern WI), we only looked at three states. All had relatives living there, which was an important factor for us. Our final choice was MO, the Northland of KCMO. Great state, and we have a goodly number of family living in both KS and MO. So that was an excellent choice for us.

Only the best of everything to you and Miss Tina during and after your transition.

Dang if things in Richmond don't slow down or have a major turn around...I may have to make a move too like to Tenn.
Won't know until 2021.

We don't discuss politics here, but on the nosey.
