Sold while we were gone

Even though we loved the first home we bought, we had to sell it to move on to our new house.

Our realtor (and my good friend!) is a ninja!  The morning we left we had the "Coming Soon" sign in our yard, and as we were leaving the stagers were arriving to get our home all set up for its photos and showings.

While it was for sale (less than a week) it had over 20 showings, plus an open house.  Since Sonia recommended we do this while we were out of town, we only had to clean the house to sparkling level once and we didn't have to find places to go while potential buyers viewed our home.

We asked for all offers to be held until after the open house.  We did get a bully offer the first day it was listed, but they wanted us to leave 3 weeks early.  Unfortunately, we couldn't leave 3 weeks early (and no one likes a bully, ha!), so we turned their offer down.

The day before we arrived home we received 7 offers!  We were able to accept an offer that was well over asking price.  We feel so blessed that our home sold, and it all went so smoothly!  Thanks Sonia for all of your help!

(I miss those hastas!)
