On top of a full-time job and raising my daughter (who isn’t quite in school yet) I am Selling my house, in a four month Landmark Program, I do videos for my website and I play in a band!
Of all these, selling the house is the biggest challenge right now, probably because I'm writing this from a Coffee Shop as a broker is showing my home to a prospective buyer.
With a four year old at home I feel like I’m a street-sweeper for most of the day… Not to mention the calls from Real Estate Agents that are like “hey, we’re two blocks away and we’ll be over to look at your house in about 15 minutes… can you please leave?”…
Just yesterday I remember gazing over to the couch to see graham crackers broken into tiny pieces and an empty wrapper on the floor… One of those "murphy's law" things that happen right as I get the call from the Agent!
Now I will say this, being that my daughter is four I still have the luxery of the “shiny object” distraction…
To get her to stay put during what turned out to be my ten minute cleaning frenzy we played like the floor was lava and she couldn’t jump on to it!
Let’s say that it worked like a charm, and yes, you can turn over cushions and the graham cracker bits disappear right before your eyes!
As you're sweeping up those crumbs (or turning over cushions) remember that we're in this together, learning lessons along the way!
