Selling My House

Tallon and I are selling our house. Who knew it was going to be this hard... oh wait... I did know. I work in real estate... It has been listed for about 2 months and we have not had 1 showing.


I am a pretty tiddy person but I have been keeping the house extra clean, vacuuming more than necessary, wiping down the coutertops in the kitchen and bathroom every morning, opening windows and keeping lamps on to makes sure the house well lit... but... NO SHOWINGS! I got the carpets professionally cleaned, we painted one of the rooms that was not a pretty color, we rearranged furniture so it was aesthetically pleasing instead of comfortable for us, we got a bed so we didn't just have a mattress on the floor (I am really happy about that change), my mom and dad gave us their nice refrigerator for the kitchen, we organized and reorganized every closet, drawer, shelf and so on... and still... NO SHOWINGS!!

OH YEAH! We also got a NEW ROOF!!! A whole NEW ROOF!! - No Showings!

Our flyers have been going pretty quickly though... so that is good... well, at least I thought that was good... Until our neighbor came by with a hand all or our flyers saying he found them in the back of his truck. What punk took all the flyers and put them in someone else's truck?!?! That is SO rude!

This weekend we are going to work on some landscaping. When we were getting our roof replace the roofers smashed a lot of the plants... not that any of them looked very good, but now they look worse. My mom is going to come over and help me. I am pretty excited about because I have no idea how to do yard work... and I don't really think I want to know much about it. I don't really like yard work. But maybe I will like it if if looks nice to begin with. So, hopefully mom can help make it look nice and then I can keep it up. We are just working on the front yard this weekend...but maybe soon we can do something to the back yard.

Well, if anyone reading knows anyone who wants a really cute, but kind of small, house in Springdale let me know!
