Feedback

After showing the house six times over the weekend our realtor gave us some feedback. Most clients stayed a while, a good sign. They all seemed to like the house. Interestingly, what they didn't like, never occured to us when we "looked at" the house, because we only saw it from a virtual perspective. Who knew the driveway was 200 feet long and lined with deadly rocks? Or that you could see the neighbor's house? The driveway threw one couple into a fight (seeya) and the relative lack of privacy made the Australian couple give pause. They will look in the next town over where they will get more land but less house.

The realtor, I will give him a name, Rich, found some mold growing in the basement and some black stuff there, too. Marty got right to work and washed it off. Most of it is leakage from the central vac canister. With this much house to clean, who thinks about dusting the unheated utility room? Not me.

We have an open house next weekend--no other showings until then. I can relax and not worry about "staging" and all the dog hair tumbling around the white tile floor that can't stay clean. This blog will stay quiet until then, unless we get an offer.
