I was the only one who was not good with selling our house.
It was our family home and I just wasn’t so great with not having a family home anymore.
All the kids agreed with their mom it was time for us to sell. It just wasn’t so easy for me though. I loved the house from the time my wife and I first looked at it. That home was where we raised our children. With the help of residential HVAC we were so comfortable for all these years. I was just supposed to sell it and move on? It just didn’t sit right with me and seemed illogical. But I agreed to have a realtor come over to start the listing process. I wasn’t at all prepared for all the things the realtor said we needed to change before ever even listing the house. But to her credit, she was super respectful and was gentle when pointing out all the stuff that needed to be changed. I sincerely appreciated that she treated our house with respect because it was our home for almost 30 years. The realtor was very clear that we needed to replace the HVAC equipment. It seemed sort of weird to me since I thought we could negotiate that when we came to the final price of the home. The realtor showed me data that proved that this was not the way we wanted to go. Without having the latest in residential HVAC, buyers in this region would just move on. We did replace the quality heating and air in our home and we did end up selling our house for a staggering sum. It’s still weird but I’m now sure that we made the right call.
