The good side of having your house on the market, readily available to show at any time, is that it forces you to keep it clean. The type of clean that all dishes are away, floors vacuumed, items dusted, no 'junk' out. Its a juggle to do at times w/Liliana, but its nice to have a tidy house. We have a process every time we leave the house.
Bathrooms check (towels picked up, toilets flushed-just in case), trash away & out of house, that means any evidence of diapers, etc., toys away, no Liliana food on the floor.
All these lists are the 'To-dos' of leaving a tidy house for someone just to come in & inspect & comment of what they like & don't like.
The emotional side is well up & down. Mostly down lately. Its been well 5 weeks now we've had a fare amount of showings BUT no bites, no offers...natta. You think when you leave the house before a showing, maybe this one, maybe they will be the ones....
Then you wait, wait for feedback/comments.
Its one thing to do the physical part, cleaning up--but the emotional stuff, well thats so much harder.

Al - we put our house up 2 weeks ago and you've laid it out so well in the post of what it's like to be on the market! We are 2 weeks on the market and with CA now it takes so much longer than we are used to. God give us patience!
