Many of my regular readers have sent me messages asking what has happened to me? Why was I not posting to my blog on a regular basis anymore? There are times when “life” just gets in the way. This has been one of those times. My husband Alex and I put our home on the market about 9 months ago in an effort to downsize. Our children are grown and being part of our grandchildren’s lives became a more important priority than a 3000 square foot home.
When we first put the home on the market, we began the process of “staging”.( For anyone who doesn’t know what this is, it is a basic de-cluttering and undecorating to make your home more appealing to the potential buyer) That led to a series of home repairs, painting, and just going through the entire home and start to decide what will go and what will stay. That sounds easier than it is, I might add. We built the home in 1988, raised a family there, and it seems like we never threw away anything. There was plenty of storage, with a complete floored walk up attic that we eventually filled.
As summer turned to fall, and we continued to drop the price of our home, we felt as though there couldn’t be anyone within 50 miles of our property who had not gone through at least once for a “showing”. Each time, we would leave our home for 1-2 hours and go somewhere wondering if this was the one. Amazingly, I still managed to work my direct sales business, but nowhere near my normal level.
So we had to decide if we were to “wait it out” until next spring or be couragous and move now before winter hits, and attempt to capture the peak holiday season in a new part of the country. We chose the latter.
The first weekend in October, all of our adult children assembled in the home to go through their things and decide what to take and what to leave behind. Then the move began. I thought this would be an excellent time to journal how I took my business from one location and start to grow it in another area. Today is the beginning of that journey…
