Ready to sell

The photographer arrives tomorrow to take pictures that will help sell our house. So, I have been running around the house tonight, finishing the last few clean-up tasks and touches so we can present our home in the best possible light. I must admit I am feeling a little obsessed with getting the details right, which is leading me to find more and more things to clean. At some point, I will have to stop and be satisfied that I have done enough. But not yet.

My wife appears to be less worried than I am. She believes the house looks fantastic, and the stylist will add the finishing touches when she arrives tomorrow, just before the photographer. My wife has been chatting with the designer today, who has already said that there is not much styling she would need to do. The house does look impressive, and we’ve taken care of repairs and cleaning that should have been addressed long ago. I playfully suggested to my wife that we should plan to sell our house every five years to ensure we tackle necessary tasks promptly instead of letting them pile up. We are almost ready to sell. Let’s hope it does.
