That was us on the front side of this experience. We had a quality house and we were going to sell to a quality buyer who appreciated the way we kept our house and grounds.

Then reality sets in and you realize that the buyers don't care how lovely your landscaping is, or that you had a housekeeper come in every two weeks since the house was new, or that you maintained your house like it was a temple, ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS PRICE.

Accept this reality, price it right, sell your home and move on with your life...and make up your loss when you buy your next home.
