We are going to attempt to sell the condo. To do this we have found ourselves a Real Estate Agent. She came over with a person called a 'stager' last week to tell us how we need to present our home in order to attract the most people.
Basically, we need to erase our presence. Anything that is personal or shows our personalities, has to go. The walls need to empty. Our red wall has to be repainted to Irish Cream. The track lightning needs to be replaced with a more traditional light. Colored bathroom towels are a no-no. The kitchen counters all have to be empty.
While some of these changes are expected, others are not. For some reason, my frog painting can stay on the wall, but the wallpaper trim in the bedroom can't. But we also have more time to make all the changes. We thought the listing would go live on the 14th, but our agent is giving us until the 20th. So until the 20th, I can still think of it as my home. After that, it'll be like living in a hotel.
