We are interviewing real estate agents and trying to figure out how to balance the price of our home so that it sells quickly and still yields a return for us. It would be a shame for it to sell on day 2 for our asking price (we would feel that we under priced it) or for it to linger on the market (making us worry about our short timeframe).
It is nice that our neighbors hate to see us go. We have all lived here together for 10 years and enjoyed each other very much, watching kids, and dogs; helping each other out. Frankly, I love the house and the neighborhood. Those who know us best know that we are always building something or working on some home project, making the house fit us well.
There is paint to be touched up and clutter to be packed. Decisions must be made about what will go into long term storage, what will be sold and what goes with us. Not only must we sell and move out of this home, but we've got to find suitable temporary housing in DC. But I have to admit that as I work on these things I anxiously await the formal offer of employment that I thought would shortly follow the informal call. All the while watching the days tick off.
I suppose this is an opportunity to show off my flexibility and ability to remain calm. It is just one step at a time.
