Some really great news after an exhausting week - our realtor called and told us we have an offer on our house. YES - The LORD is good and all our prayers for "patience" and HIS timing is starting to unfold! We continue to pray as we always know, in todays housing market - anything can happen! Seems ligit though... the new movers are also military - have been living in a hotel and are ready to close at the end of this month! Good thing we decided to have the movers come pick up our things and ship to GUAM by the 28th of this month! IT ALWAYS AMAZES ME HOW EVERYTHING ALWAYS FALLS RIGHT INTO PLACE!
Our realtor came over to our house last night and we signed all the paperwork and with the buyers agreeing to full asking price as long as we pay for the closing costs seemed like a fair deal to us!
What did we do to stand out among the MANY houses on our neighborhood? Perhaps it was the freshly baked cookies I made and left out on the table for every "showing"! Maybe it was the incredibly clean home that I labored and sweated over daily! The TV's were always turned on softly to HGTV and all our lights were on - just like any model home you would walk into. Could it have been there was NO SIGHT of Bella at any of our showings - thanks to our neighbor Ashley who gave me her key to her house so we can "hide out" at any time of the day?! We also offered our RED SECTIONAL COUCH and 17" Wall Mounted TV in the kitchen to convey with the home if the closing was by the end of JULY!
On our last showing - wouldn't you know... EVERYTHING WAS DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE. We were out doing "Guam Navy check out stuff" - my parents had to go to the house to pick up Bella and turn on the lights and make sure everything was in place.
... Plus, they were the only ones who actually ATE MY COOKIES and read the only sign that I displayed & changed right before they came to see the house the night before... (yes, this was their 2nd showing) "... movers coming on July 28th - so if interested in the RED COUCH and TV in kitchen - you must act NOW". Wrote that note and within 12 hours we had a contract in our hands!
... Ahhhh - just breathe -
