You don't like me because my closet is too small? Or you don't like me because I have stairs? You knew I had stairs BEFORE we met-it was in my profile!!! Lol We have had a lot of activity and the feed back is mostly good but there is always some small thing. No offers so far, just a lot of first dates. Sigh
Lol for my parents' old house, my realtor was sending me the electronic feedback she gets from other realtors. A few times I winced. It was so brutal and we ultimately got 6-7 offers altogether.
I'm over it, and don't think we'll get a buyer. I dread having to rent it out.
Good luck to you and others selling right now.
Oh no . I was wondering how it was going. I'm sorry.
Thanks. We had a lot of interest the first two weeks, and then it slowed way down. No negative feedback, just nobody interested enough put an offer.
Also, our original realtor left and went to another company, and her replacement, the owner, no less, is definitely not as communicative and go get em as she was, IMO.
This cracks me up. I recently made the comparison to being the buyer and comparing it to online dating. You set a bunch of filters, scroll through pictures, find one you like, secretly see your whole life planned with THAT perfect house (here's where I'd put the table! We'd have big parties in the backyard!) and BOOM it's suddenly off the market. Then onto the next one...

It sounds like the replacement realtor is the problem! Any chance your H would consider a new realtor?
The voice in my head was really timid asking that, because I'm sure if you're over it, he's way over it.
I went back and found the only old feedback I have left (I save every scrap of everything related to this house, but I deleted all the feedback emails lol...this one was just still in my trash): First time out with this buyer and now thinking he doesn't want something with as much work as he would want to do to this one. Probably will buy something a little newer. Thanks.
Everything is newer--the house is 100+ years old! Thanks, guy.
I realize that may have been confusing. The new realtors, who we initially love, the one agent went to another company. Her boss is definitely not as good IMO.
Too funny about your feedback. It's like hello, you knew the house was old before you went.
Honestly, I think people watch too much HGTV want everything turnkey and not have to do anything, and have much bigger expectations for their budget than what they should.

We're hoping to move in 6-12 months so I've been checking out open houses in the area. Maybe it's because we're going from old and small (everything is bigger and better, lol), but I have the opposite reaction. Everything I see I'm like "oh, we could work around that! We could work around that too!". I'm not too picky.
I know what you mean though. I went to an OH last week that was quite busy, and I kept hearing overhearing complaints. The bathroom tile was too white, the carpet pile wasn't high enough, etc.
When we had my H old house on the market (the one we now rent out). We had it perfectly clear in the ad that it was a manufactured home.
One woman came and looked and I happend to be there. She walked in and said "oh, I thought this was a 'real' house" F*** YOU LADY! It is a real house. It was just built in a factory and assembled on site.

I do this all the time. I find a house I absolutely love, start talking to DH about it, and then it's gone the next day. It sat on there for 200+ days but apparently when I say I like a house is when someone else decides to buy the darn thing.

You are so right! I felt that way when buying. I would see a house online, look at the pictures, fall in love, then we'd go look at it and be like, "Oh, *that's* why they didn't have a picture of the kitchen on the website." And it turns out it needed an entire kitchen (or bathroom, or whatever) remodel. So disappointing!

This drives me insane with my rental listings. My listings are always super detailed and I still get feedback like this. Drives me batty!
