Wow. Who'da thunk it? Selling a house is a lot harder than I ever thought it could be. First off, you have to get the house cleaned up and packed up. This can take a LOT of work, and ya never really realize just how much shit you've accumulated until you go to pack it all up. You go to Wal-Mart and steal their empty boxes they were going to trash thinking "Oh, three carloads of boxes should be enough." But it never is. You get completely done with your closet and realize "Oh holy shit! I am out of boxes already?!?!" Yep. It happens. Trust me.
Then, on top of all the cleaning and packing and stuff, you actually have to decide on a price and try to stick to it. Not too hard since you need that money to start over.
THEN you have to wait for someone to actually want your house over all the others out there on the market. Wow. What a cluster that can be. A million people trampling through your house to find ONE person who may be interested in buying it, possibly successful in your search, possibly not.
But in the end it is all worth it, or so I'm told. I am still waiting for that offer to come, though my agent says it should be any day now. I hope he is right. I can't wait to move on with my life and leave the past behind me.
