The buyers have started coming to look at my house. I know a trick to impress people: Keep your closets and cabinets pristine! Seriously! I folded all the towels and sheets in my linen closet in a perfect manner, stacked or lined-up like soldiers and EVERYONE comments about how great it looks! It seems to go a long way on the impression scale.
One couple came. About in their late 30s, I guess. They looked at everything. They came back the next day. They looked at everything again. Then they asked if my house was earthquake-proof. Well, I don't really know. I told her it was built in 1959, just like all the other houses around here. Were any houses earthquake-proofed back then? She was very concerned. They never came back.
Another couple asked me if I could "hold" my house for four months for them and let them know if anyone else wanted to buy it, so they could have first dibs. "DIBS"?!?! I said couldn't make any promises because I needed to sell immediately for a new employment reasons. I guess I lost that sale, too. Oh, well.
