Rolling Along

Although we got the paperwork we needed from the government, we're still finding that a lot of the moving process is out of our hands and things still aren't progressing as quickly as we'd like.

Our house STILL isn't on the market. That's causing us a great deal of stress right now. We finally got clearance yesterday to go ahead with that. We had preemptively met with a couple of agents last week so this morning we called the agent we had chosen. She is coming to meet with us tomorrow (Nick is working today) and we hope the house should be officially listed by the end of the day tomorrow.

We're really pleased with the agent we've chosen. She's a pretty big name in the Windsor market and is consistently a top producer. She's very energetic and outgoing and we think she's got what it takes to sell our house. She also has two young children herself so she's sympathetic to our plight of trying to show the house with two kids living here. She's going to make sure we get as much notice as possible before viewings so we can get things in order.

Both of the agents who came through the house last week were really pleased with the look of it. However, they both recommended a little fix up to the stairway leading to the basement. We knew it needed to be done but were hoping it wasn't that big a deal. With both agents mentioning it though, we know it needs to be done. So I'm scraping wallpaper today and Nick will start painting tomorrow. The agent said she doesn't need to take pictures of that area tomorrow so it's OK that it's not done.

So, hopefully the sign will be in the yard tomorrow and we'll get some people interested soon.
