We put our house on the market a little over one week ago and we’ve had two people look at it. Tonight, around 5:30 p.m., I spilled some beer on the carpet as we were eating dinner and watching a show on the DVR. Suddenly, after I had wiped up the beer but we had decided to wash the carpet tomorrow, Mike received a call from a real estate agent who had apparently called at 5:30 pm asking if clients could look at our house tonight. The real estate agent asked if they swing by…in 9 minutes. Before Mike was off the phone, I was cleaning the kitchen. Of course, tonight was the first time we had let the house get a little dirty. Mike and I were on speed mode – we didn’t even talk. We had the entire house cleaned and were out the door in 10 minutes. We parked down the street and they showed up 2 minutes later. Mike and I really had fun – we were laughing the entire time we were in the car. We were so proud of ourselves. They stayed in the house 27 minutes, a new record. The first group stayed 16 minutes. We’ll see what happens.
On Friday, we looked at several houses. We didn’t find the perfect one but we learned a lot and had fun. We’re confident the perfect house is out there for us. Right now, we’re trying to narrow down the neighborhoods we like.
