history continued ...

 

I last left off laying the ground work to ready my Colorado house for the market.

Bought a nice extension ladder to reach the high beams in the house so I could

caulk and repair and paint this beautiful 3,000 square foot house.  I spent many weeks

getting my house ready to dazzle the public and a possible buyer.  I first listed the house

on Craigslist and had a couple of folks come by who really liked the house but it had too many switchbacks and was too far away from the city, Denver. 

  No worries, I still had some work to do...but in the meantime, our economy was

starting to take a nose dive.  Fast.

I decided to hire a real estate agent to help sell my house.  After about a month

listening to her complain she only had a few for sale signs to put up and she did not

want to do open houses.....I fired her.   She was not happy but I was.  I found another agent, Louis, and he was all about advertising and open houses.

He found a couple who lived down the hill from me.   This was good, they already knew what

mountain living was all about.   They fell in love with the house and wanted to buy it.  They would

put their house on the market and the process would begin.  I was very excited and relieved because my retirement days were getting close and I needed to get things packed up and ready to head home to the pacific northwest.  

Little did I know.......what these potential buyers were really up to .........
