Near Selling My Home

Post by Sir Henry » Fri Oct 01, 2021 1:53 pm

I’m about five days away from selling my property here in Washington. It will take 30-45 days for it to close. In the meantime I’m continuing my search in both Montana and Wisconsin.

Selling and buying has been my life for about four months and I’m ready to move on. Literally.

Know the feeling. Our selling realtor was a really nice guy, but we got tired of his suggestions rather quickly. Don't get me wrong, most were very constructive, we just got tired of nitpicky.

On the other hand, after I gave him the driving tour of the farm, and a tour of the house and shop; he said he was going to break his ironclad rule: no seller present when showing a property.

We showed the house five times, it sold.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Im sure not knowing where you are headed to for sure is a real tiring thing. Hope you find something to your liking soon

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

You will know it when you find it. To be free and clear of the other home first is a pretty good thing. It puts you ahead of many others.

Good luck where ever you end up.

Woohoo, the two best days of your life will be when the escrow paperwork clears, and when you cross over the mountains out of Puget Sound. I did that in 2004, I still go back routinely to visit my son, but I won’t go there for any other reason. No regrets…. that place is a zoo. No offense meant to those who choose to live there….. 😬

When we sold our last house, we banked the proceeds, then lived in a duplex for six months - I got this text alert from my bank after that money went towards the new house:

I hope your move is not too stressful. Are you doing the heavy lifting or are you hiring somebody? I strongly suggest doing all the boxing, then hire some young strong dudes to shift it all. There is a locally owned company I use for that, they even moved my big gun safe, I would not even consider a nationwide chain like United. I am sure you know this, all the firearms and expensive stuff like cameras should go with you.
