We were pleased to have Grama Joanne and Grampa Ed drive up from Oregon to visit us this week. They arrived Sunday and left to go back this morning. They were very helpful in helping us rearrange furniture and "frame" the house so we could take pictures to put on our listing.
This afternoon we ventured down to Pioneer Square to the startup-ish office of Redfin to speak with our assigned selling agent, Kelly. Things seemed to go smoothly enough. Except after a while Cavan got tired of being cooped up in a meeting room with nothing to play with but dry erase pens and highlighters. I don't blame him - I've been tired all day. We are scheduled for an appraisal on Thursday, and by next week we should have enough information to go live with the listing. Then the fun begins! We haven't decided whether we want to have an open house. It seems to be more hassle than benefit and Kelly told us it's really just a way for buying agents to pick up clients more than anything else.
Right now we are just packing away our "clutter" and finding some other place for it and sorting out the stuff we want to get rid of at the garage sale. Step by step we are making the house sellable. Actually Lindsay is doing most of the work on the house while I relax at the office all day (hah!).
Superbowl Sunday is this weekend. That's something American I'll definitely miss while we're in Denmark.
