Fingers Crossed
 

The day has finally arrived! Our house is on the market today...We are excited, nervous, and another step closer to becoming frogs! We priced the house right, buried St. Joseph, bought some cookie dough and now we wait. Thanks for all of your postings on TOTV...with so much great information I hope we are ahead of the game! :bigbow: Que sera sera!

Sounds like you've got all your ducks in a row, tainsley. Here's hoping you get the place sold pronto!!

Bill :)

You've done everything in your power - now the magic will begin. Good luck - hope you enjoy the experience! :a040:

Good Luck selling your house Tainsey.:coolsmiley:

More good luck wishes coming your way! Hope your house sells quickly.

Good, good luck. Sounds like you have all your I's dotted and your T's crossed. Keep us all posted.

Best Wishes for a quick sale.

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. :)

Cookie Dough?
 

Cookie dough? Haven't heard of that one. I know about the burial of the statuette of St. Joseph. But what does one do with the cookie dough as a part of a pre-sale ritual? Anyone?

The cookie dough is baked filling the house with the scent of chocolate chip cookies....a welcome thing when opening the door to the potential buyer.

Bake some chocolate chip cookies and leave them out for an open house visitors. Makes the house smell wonderful..........and hopefully hits a positive chord with potential buyers!

Bill :)

Aha! Thanks.

Got it. Thanks.

And after the showing, the cookies make a good snack later.

We closed on our house last week:MOJE_whot:. Will be in The Villages next month. It took us 10 months to sell, but we sold. One thing I learned was patience. I kept dreaming about The Villages, during this time I made several wonderful friends on this forum, who gave me hope, support and kindness.

You will sell your house and you will get to The Villages to play with the big kids.
Sending you positive thoughts too.:bigbow:

Thanks to all of you for sending good wishes and good vibes! :bigbow: No takers yet...(I know it's only been a couple of days). Gotta stop eating the chocolate chip cookies though! :ohdear: Hubby and I will be down next week to spend our first night in our new home! We are sooooo excited! :MOJE_whot:

Wonderful!!! We will leave the light on fer ya.:a040:

More good vibes, Tainsley. Hope you're house sells quickly. Please keep us posted!

Good Luck!!! We're in the same boat. The house has been listed for almost two months...not one showing. I have been working my butt off keeping it clean and tidy. Last week we had a garage sale at my mother in law's house...we brought back a bunch of stuff that didn't sell, carried it in and put it on the island...I'm in the middle of re-doing a Shoji screen...paper, exacta knife, etc on living room floor..got home late, decided to let dishes wait until morning.....you guessed it...after sleeping in, checked my phone...agent wanted to show house in an hour:22yikes:...never cleaned so fast in my life!!!!! actually shoved clean, folded laundry back in to dryer...ah well, we'll see!! Take care and hope you sell it really, really fast! oops..gotta go get the stuff out of dryer..........

Trish:

I know what you mean. I was home on a Saturday not feeling well and the phone rang. I had an agent that call me and said they were in my complex and wanted to come over in one minute. :22yikes:

That led to the one hour rule. :)

tainsley:

Hope you sell your home soon. :)

We have also had our surprizes. But what are you going to do? :shrug: You dare not turn down a showing, it maybe THE one.

Although it it slightly inconsiderate, you go with the flow. :)

Agreed. But it is a buyer's market.

House on MLS Friday evening...had first showing this afternoon! Our house was the 15th the couple looked at TODAY! OMG 15? (They are on a two-day house hunting trip) relocating to this area. Our realtor called to say we can come back home and told us our home was by far the best the couple had seen today...FINGERS CROSSED. Have another showing tomorrow. All I can think about is arriving in TV on Sunday! I just can't wait! :wave:

That was a very encouraging feedback. It only takes one!!!!!!! ;)

Best wishes.

UPDATE...Settlement 28 December...Villages 30 December! This will be the happiest New Year ever! See you all real soon!

YOU SOLD??????

Good for you. High five. Hugs. Fireworks. Singing...

DANG !!!! Our house has been on the market for almost a month and nothing.... not even a spark...... and we are giving it away according to the realtor.... St. Joseph has been buried and still nothing.... I'm now saying... ""All I want for Christmas is a Buyer !!!! ""

Yes Gracie. We put it on the market the end of October. Came down to TV for a visit for three weeks. But had to come back home shy of three weeks when our realtor called with the good news. We got our price, had to do a few minor fix ups. Our realtor called today and said everything's a go! How lucky are we? We are so excited! See you real soon!

Good luck to you TommyT. I am sending all the good wishes and vibes I received on TOTV back to you!

It will happen; isn't this the season of Miracles? Be patient and it will happen.

Congratulations!! :coolsmiley:

Me too. And Tainsley...

:coolsmiley::a040::MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot :

Congratulations -- you will be starting 2012 as a Frog. Hope your move to TV goes smoothly! :wave:
