With Dan and Hannah living here that makes one less thing I have to worry about. <br />Thanks for advice on packing. I have some things in boxes already for the girls to go through and pick out what they want. At least we are going through this together :))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143950983476086003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-5791809954617210942012-11-16T10:37:57.964-08:002012-11-16T10:37:57.964-08:00VERY exciting to have a time frame in mind!

And the buyers will be lucky to have a house with all the work you've done. :)<br /><br />PS - I agree with the June date, though, maybe even May. People with families might be looking then, and that would really expand your market.<br /><br />And you would still be working on it until it closes, probably at least through August. Then you'd have better weather to start out full-timing. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-477430665443552442012-11-12T11:02:19.210-08:002012-11-12T11:02:19.210-08:00Moving forward is great!

Like a lot of the others say, you can work on the necessary things while it is for sale.

We knew we wouldn't be flooded with prospects due to the remote area and small town we lived in, so we just kept working. We had our first showing a few weeks later. <br /><br />We ended up heading to Florida for the winter and didn't return until we had a signed contract. <br /><br />Waiting for a sale is a lot less painless if you're gone! The house stays much cleaner when you're gone too!Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-23231054463721135422012-11-11T20:57:23.561-08:002012-11-11T20:57:23.561-08:00Wow--Good Luck!!!
