We have already had several showings of the house. Our first was only 4 days after we listed. Our agent said they all have nice things to say, but we haven't gotten any useful feedback yet. Of course they think the house is nice, but what about the price? Do they want to make an offer? That's what we want to know!!!
Eduardo has really taken over the cleaning since I am still not much help. He's mopped the tile floors (all 600 sq ft) several times now, and even got a specific kind of mop that he likes to use to do it. And of course we dust, and vacuum, and make sure everything is put away. We make sure the lawn is mowed and looks nice, and the front walkway is swept. We spray air freshener and turn on all the lights, even the ones out on the shed, so people know there is power out there. It takes anywhere from one to three hours to get the house ready to show, and we have not turned down a showing yet, so we have been busy. It's not easy living in a house staged to sell. But at the same time, it's really nice to be somewhere that is so clean and beautiful too,
And it really is a beautiful house. Even we are impressed when we are done and take a look around. It could easily be in any home decor magazine.
Our agent has brought one couple back to look at the house for a second time and he says that he thinks they are going to make an offer on the house. Not too shabby for only a couple weeks on the market!
