HOME FOR SALE

Well it's official...our home is for sale. WE DESPERATELY need a BIGGER home. I have stuffed about everything I can in our closets and well we just don't have any room anymore. We met with a realtor team today (they came to our home) and interviewed them and Brian and I both feel very comfortable we picked the right team to sell our home....(we went for the Bulldogs of realty). Of course when you go with the best .....you pay for the best....so their commission is a little higher then everyone else in our market but after incorporating that into our asking price and figuring our net on what we need out of home that would be a sufficient amount to lay down on our future home we feel we made the best choice. Today was EXHAUSTING though.....we had originallytried to sell the house on our own (that lasted for 2 weeks) and we got a nibble and felt like time is closing in on us on the whole "tax credit" that ends the end of November for those new first time buyers as our big window of opportunity. So we had to make the decision to sit and wait or go after those buyers through the internet and over 100 different websites that our team has access to and twilight showings that we just wouldn't have access to if we are trying to sell on our own. They suggested that we not change anything that we haven't already done to the house as they said "this house looks great the way it is....I wouldn't change anything". So our home will be listed on Monday through MLS.....so we'll see. I'm a little nervous as I am with any big move or change but I know this is what is best for the family.......
