In my last post, I mentioned that we had an important decision to make over 4th of July weekend. Would we try to work with a low-ball offer on our home. Well, after saying "no" to that offer, just one day later we had another showing and another offer! We knew these people were serious when they actually had two showings the same day. They called on Monday night saying they would have an offer ready on Tuesday. And they did; it was a very respectable offer and the first offer they made was 7,000 better than the quasi-offer we had just denied about two days earlier! We did some negotiations but we did eventually land on a number.
We had a contract on our home!!
The scary news was that they wanted to occupy as soon as possible and the closing date was set for August 7th, a month away. This meant that we had to get busy on finding a place to go.
And while I thought the selling process was a stretching process, I was about to find it was a "small potatoes" compared to the stretching God would do in me as we looked for a new place of residence.
to be continued...

You sure like to keep people hanging don't you. I know, it takes time to write a post, and you don't want them to be too long either.
