This summer has really been hectic, so I haven't been able to blog the last few weeks. I am getting back in the swing of things and have a bunch of new entries coming your way. Here is the first of many:I have a dear friend in St. Louis and she has been trying to sell her condo/townhome for more than a year. To date, they have shown it more than 100 times and since she has a wonderful sense of humor, together we came up with our top ten reasons it really stinks to have your home on the market for such a long time. Hope they tickle you too.
TOP TEN REASONS YOU NEED TO STOP SHOWING YOUR HOME AND SELL IT
1. Every time it is shown, that is one day you CANNOT MAKE BACON. I know this may seem trivial to some of you, but COME ON, over 100 days with no bacon. But you don’t want the smell in the house – it’s just bad news.
2. When you finally can come home after the showing, you have to wonder what bathroom the clients used-I know they go to the bathroom because we have moved so much and Mike has used the bathroom in a lot of places. Then you have to clean all the bathrooms again.
3. Over 100 times you have to clean your kitchen floor. Any of you that know me, know my strengths lie in other areas and I am happy to say my friend in St. Louis is a lot like me.
4. Over 100 times you are inconvenienced since it really seems like the realtor wants to show the house the exact minute you are due home from work and that means you have to find something else to do with yourself.
5. You have to make the bed EVERYDAY no matter what.
6. You can never turn down a showing since it might be THE ONE.
7. It doesn’t matter how many open houses they have or how good the thing smells you put in the crockpot, it still isn’t selling the house.
8. You are cranky all the time.
9. Burying St. Joseph in the backyard simple doesn’t help, I don’t care how many times people tell you to do it. Upside down, right side up, it is a plastic statue you paid $15 for and frankly, St. Joseph has a lot of great qualities but selling your house isn’t one of them.
10. And the final reason you need to sell your house is this: YOU CAN GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND NOT HAVE IT MEASURED BY HOW CLEAN YOUR HOUSE IS OR WHAT YOUR NUTTY REALTOR THINKS!!
