With everything I've learned with selling and buying houses this year, and my interest in Home Staging, I'm percolating an idea about starting a new small business. Not sure how it would work - but....
My idea is to look at the photos and listings for houses, and work with realtors and home owners to better present the home. Maybe to connect with several realtors and have the service included.

HOUSE SOLD - HOUSE BOUGHT!
Well, the crunch is definitely on! Last Wednesday our buyers took all conditions off of their purchase of our house, which means the sale of our house is definitely going thru. Then, after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing Grant and I sent an email to our Realtor removing the conditions on the purchase of the new house. So - that means we are definitely buying the house on Hillside Avenue in Nanaimo. We know there are going to be a lot of adjustments necessary for us moving from a country acreage with a house that we've basically designed and built ourselves, to a city lot with an already built house. Luckily we are doing some renos right away, which will help to make it feel more like ours. It will be interesting to see how we adapt - whether we like it or feel way too cramped and feel the need to move on in a year or two or three.
Today is August 16th - we have possession of the new house on September 18th - just over a month. Having the week overlap will really help, as we can get moved in and come back here to get final things and clean up. Sometime this week I'm going to get an estimate for a small moving company to give an estimate - I'm interested mostly in furniture and appliances, as I think most everything else should fit in the Big Metal Box. Which reminds me - I need to make arrangements to have the Box moved on the 18th! Shouldn't be a problem as they move it with a tow truck. Hopefully the weather for our move will be dry - as I know we may have to have some boxes outside until we get things organized.
And more things to organize for the move - which I didn't really have to do for the move here from Lethbridge 8 years ago. Not just cancelling utilities, but starting things up at the new place, and also new. May also look at changing telephone over to Shaw if that is a savings
Kasia will be confused but she will be easier to move than the cats. We are rather concerned about the cats, especially George - who is away a lot. Might be a bit better in a few weeks when the weather cools down.
