Well, I’m not sure our first episode of “Buy our house” should be considered a “success.” <\/p>\n
We had 18 views on YouTube and 22 views on Vimeo (plus however many viewed it on Facebook).<\/p>\n
Either way, we bring you episode 2 (with some odd audio sync problems)! We show off the new dining room table look as well as our painted garage and now emptier master closet. And I don’t want to leave out the great job Laurie did cleaning the oven!<\/p>\n

\nIt’s been an interesting week. We didn’t have any calls or viewings to speak of but we did have a group of realtors take a tour on Thursday. <\/p>\n
They all seemed to like the house. Loved Laurie’s paint scheme. But they also offered several critiques, including the pricing was a bit aggressive, the garage should be painted (to help justify the cost) and the dog barked a lot (expected since she was in her crate with 8 strangers walking through her house :-)).<\/p>\n
They also mentioned a couple minor things, like de-personalize the house (remove personal photos where possible) and clear out the master closest.<\/p>\n
So with our fresh reports, we went to work. We 3 bags of t-shirts and other clothes I haven’t worn in a while to the local homeless shelter, removed a number of photos and then Friday and Saturday we went to work painting the garage.<\/p>\n
And as luck would have it, with all that done by 1 a.m. Sunday morning, we had our first viewing Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
No word yet on if they liked the house, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that they make an offer.<\/p>\n
On a related note, it’s been interesting to track the visits and clicks on the main page<\/a> we’ve set up sharing info about the house. <\/p>\n According to bit.ly, 78 people have clicked on the link<\/a> I’ve shared four different times throughout the week on Twitter and Facebook. <\/p>\n The sources (how people found the link) break down like this:<\/p>\n Not amazing numbers, but hopefully those are 78 people who wouldn’t have otherwise seen that our house was for sale — and hopefully 78 people that know someone who’s in the market for a new house.<\/p>\n So that’s where we’re at. Still hoping and praying someone will stop by and make a great offer on the house — and just tweaking things here and there and making videos about it until then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I’m not sure our first episode of “Buy our house” should be considered a “success.” We had 18 views on YouTube and 22 views on Vimeo (plus however many viewed it on Facebook).
