Let's Play Realtor! - Results

[c9]

For those of you who responded to my recent survey, you may be interested in the results. A realtor visited last night and we discusses the carpet, blinds, and various other odds 'n sods.

How to cover up the missing tiles? Put a cabinet there.

How to cover the gap between carpet and tile? Put a transition piece there.

Do we need new carpet ($3500) ? Nope, it's in OK shape, especially since a buyer might tear it out instantly anyway. The kitchen and bathroom are the things that deserve the attention.

Best news of the evening: the place on the 11th floor that sold went for 27.6% more than we paid for our place. Woohoo!

I had a new survey question in mind last night, but after tossing and turning and getting only 4 hours of sleep -- retiling and grouting the same damn spot in my dreams over and over -- the question has fled my mind. Oh well.

I skipped a couple month's worth of entries.

You're selling, why? Because

a) Vinny has nothing left to modify in your current home
b) Perhaps you're moving to a new city
c) You need a place with a nursery

Vinny has a new job in Toronto. There's plenty left to modify here (oh god, will the fix-its never end?!) and no need for a nursery for a couple years yet.
