DONE AND DONE

You can't take a photo around here without someone hogging the shot! But they are good looking intruders so I will let them into it.

As you can see, this is the "For Sale" sign. It went up this morning. A funny moment.

But I am getting ahead of myself.

Yesterday, we met with the real estate people (Dan and Debi-siblings) and signed them up as our buyers agent for the condo and our selling agent for the house.

We have always used a buyer's agent and not used the selling broker at any property. A suggestion. The arrangement really makes them "ours". In fact, through their advice, we saved 5000 dollars on the offer for the condo under what the selling agent had "hinted" would work.

But I am ahead of myself again.

Dan and Debi were no more than out of here and they heard back from the seller that she would accept our offer, as is, and she signed this morning.

We will settle on July 11th.

Gods help us do as well on the sell end.

It was all smooth.

I have had some craziness but not much.

This afternoon I was panicked that we had somehow bought the lesser house next door. Paranoia.

We started the day nicely. We went to our closest neighbors--in distance and emotional connection--and told them about the move before the sign went up.

They have lived in this neighborhood for 40 years and have seen it all. Very few houses and a horse trail running through way back then. They always tell the story. They are wonderful old timers and we will miss them.

Some teary moments.

Did I tell you that the name of the condo development, built in the 80s, is The Rose Garden?

We are getting in the place Saturday while our house is having an Open House and will have some photos next week.
