So we have our house on the market right now... not really the greatest time to be selling a home, but we thought we could beat the odds. I can't TELL you how stressful it is. Showings are the worst... you have to be ready to show your home at any given moment. With a child, a dog, and a husband (they're all kind of in the same category when it comes to this), talk about stress! I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to showing my home, so I guess I put some added stress on myself. Right before a showing, I like all the lights on, some lightly scented candles burning, a bit of jazz playing in the background, and our puppy far away from the premises! (Being in her crate and having people in the house, she would whine them out of the house in two seconds!) So I guess the reason I'm telling you this is because yesterday we had a house showing. Yay, right? Well, I thought so. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything in order. I was finally almost finished when I went to the basement to get the extra vacuum. I thought I'd go ahead and turn on all the lights while I was down there. I went into the closet that my husband built for my off season clothes, and this is what I found...
I could NOT believe it! All my shelving had collapsed (which my husband says is a sign I have way too many clothes)! At this point, what could I do? NOT show the house and lose out on a potential buyer? Of course not! So I just left a note explaining the mishap and promised to fix it if they were truly interested in our home. Unreal... I told my husband that I am SO done trying to sell our house. So we may take it off the market for now and try again next spring.
Anyone looking to move to Missouri? ;) I've got a great house for you! In fact, if you'd like to check out the REST of the house that isn't quite such a mess, our agent posted our home on her site at http://www.lisaadkins.com/prudentialselect/modules/internet/search/includes/mapsearch/listingpopup.asp?mlsid=306&mlsnumber=80032158&l=y.
