Sold!

I cannot believe it! In my last post you read I mentioned hoping to have our house sold by June... never did I ever in a million years think... it would sell in 24 HOURS! We listed the house on Thursday afternoon 4/21 and we got 2 calls Thursday night saying they were coming to look at the house on Friday morning at 10am. Sweet! We had 2 showings already!! This was exciting! We left on Friday morning around 9:30 as the first couple showed up (early!!). So we took off as soon as they arrived because we wanted them to have the house to themselves. We just want to Walmart to get some errands done for Easter. While we were there our realtor (amazing by the way) called. He asked if me and Ryan were together... ummm YES... why? Because he had a full price offer SITTING ON HIS DESK. What?!?!? Your kidding, is this a joke? Am I being punked??? Nope. We weren't.

So one of the couples (the second group) I guess had written an offer Thursday night. They had been looking for our exact floor plan in the neighborhood for months, had written 2 offers on the same floor plan but never heard back because they were short sales. That was one definite positive for us... we were not a short sale. The realtor told Nick that as long as all the pictures were just how the place had looked, it was a done deal. Well Nick had only taken them a week before, so they were real! Haha. I understand why they said that though. When we were buying 2 years ago, you would see these great pictures, and then get to the house and it would be TRASHED. So I understand completely. The wife saw the house Friday morning, fell in love and it was a done deal! The offer was accepted for full asking price on Friday afternoon and we have a closing date of May 30th! Saturday morning the husband came to see their new house for the first time. Still crazy that he never saw it before they even put in an offer!

This next month is going to be nuts to say the least! We have Ryan's birthday, mothers day, 2 baby showers, packing, moving and last but not least... the dreaded... going back to work. Its going to come up really quick!

To take our mind off of the crazy month of May... we are headed to California on Wednesday for our first family vacation!!! We are going to meet a past client of mine and her daughter and hubby for the first time! I am super excited!

Here is to a relaxing vacation to prep us for a crazyyyyy month!

Cheers!
