I didn’t really realize what I was getting into when our wifey and I decided it was time to sell our home.
This place has been area of our life for over 30 years.
The two of us raised a family in it while making it a home for all of us. Honestly, I kind of thought that I could talk our wifey into just staying put. But, she’s right, it’s too much apartment for two people looking to retire honestly soon. So, when you’ve been out of the housing market for over 3 decades, reentry can be overwhelming. The first realtor to come out was so abrasive and derogatory that I had to bite our tongue until he left. It was as though everything in our home was an affront to him personally. The Heating, Ventilation, and A/C was no good, the entryway was no good, our furniture and stuff was no good. After that experience, I was awfully reluctant to listen to another realtor. However, I knew that was the wrong approach. Instead, I got online and started doing some research about selling an older home in our particular area. One thing that guy was right about was the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C. Our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C component was really great in its day. But, that day had long passed. I figured the people I was with and I might have to negotiate the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C into the price of the home. However, that idea was just entirely wrong. Everything I read indicated that the people I was with and I should entirely shell out some dough to replace the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C. Doing so will genuinely more than pay for itself by bringing a much better final sale price on the house.
