your house is beautiful! great pics too! good luck in a quick sale

Lovely home - I hope the right buyer finds you soon.

It looks lovely!
However, I would ask that the LA fix the typos and misspellings.

"3 extremely large bedrooms are inside of this open floor plan, which is great for entertaining."

This comment is funny!

Small bedrooms can be great for entertaining too!

Wow, nevermind

So you weren't looking for constructive criticism to make the listing better?

I don't think any of the comments were harsh, but I'll apologize if mine came across that way.

Hollynla, I took the comments as constructive info to make the listing better. It reminded me of the way my siblings (all adults now) tease each other. I don't think it was meant to be hurtful.

I know what you've gone through. We also spent months getting our house ready, painting the entire 4,399 sqft house ourselves. Not to mention all the other stuff that had to be done. We were exhausted! We listed (in Virginia) and that very day, we had snow. Two weeks of snow and ice on the ground. But I'm happy to report that after 24 days on the market, we have a contract. :)

Your house is lovely and I'm sure will do well. Please take the information that was offered and have your Agent update the listing. It was all meant to be helpful.

Your house looks wonderful, all of your hard work shows. You were able to achieve that much paring down and decluttering, what looks like flawless shining and cleaning while living there? Kudos to you....We moved before I attempted that with the house I sold two years ago. It was just me, the house, and a window contractor - no actual living going on.

Good luck and let us know how your showings and offers go.

hollynia - the posts about the comments in your listing were just making funny comments about your agents wording, it was not about you or your house, don't take it personal.
The original comment was good constructive criticism, the agent should clean up the wording.
I apologize for hurting you, I know this is a stressful time for you

Thanks everyone, however I never asked for anyone to help me make the listing "better" nor did I ask for constructive criticism of my listing.

I'm not taking it personal but that's not why I posted the link, I was just sharing. Thanks anyway.

Post anything in public anonymous forum, and you get responses. "Sharing" isn't a concept in public forums unless you want feedback.

My apologies.

What a pretty house. It must be hard to leave it behind.

Holly, I love your house! It is abslolutely beautiful and the grounds are amazing. Didnt you redo something in the kitchen -I think the counters- recently to get it ready for resale? It looks great. I also think the realtor did a good job with the pics. Are you going to be sad to leave it?

Don't know if you are new to this forum, but that is what we do here when one posts their listing. Doesn't matter if comments were asked for or not. Have been doing it since the forum started years and years ago. I don't find the comments to be harsh at all. If you are paying a professional to sell your home, that is what they should be. Their wording wasn't. It is a very easy fix. No need to get in a tizzy about it. Let's hope you don't get this upset during the selling process. I will add with the others that your home looks great! Move in ready. Good luck with selling. NancyLouise

Rockybird, yes we did upgrade the countertops and backsplash in the kitchen. It really needed it and we are very happy with how it turned out. We had our first showing yesterday and another tomorrow.

Nancylouise......... "so upset" , "in a tizzy"? Really?

Holly,
Tone and mood are really hard to convey in a text-only medium and posts are misinterpreted all the time.
Your post that simply said "Wow, nevermind" really seems to imply that you were offended and hurt by the innocent comments above it. It's hard to read it any other way. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but that's how most people will interpret it.

There are a lot of 'fixers' on this forum. In fact, the main purpose of forums in general is to ask questions and get opinions and answers. It's hard to understand when someone doesn't want that. I'm a 'fixer' by nature and I can't tell you how many arguments I've gotten into with my wife when she's come to me with a complaint about something (unrelated to me) and I try to solve her problem when all she wanted was for me to listen and say "Wow, that sucks!".

In your case, I guess all you want is congratulations and good luck!
So congratulations and good luck!
<And just to make sure that there is no misinterpretation, the comment above is sincere, not sarcastic.>
:)

I am not trying to be snarky, really I'm not...but why would you post your listing on here unless you wanted some constructive feedback? Unless you were looking for someone on the forum to BUY your house, which I think isn't the purpose of GardenWeb. The only thing people have commented on is the wording used by your agent...certainly nothing for you to be defensive about! :) When selling a house, you need a thick skin...and if the wording changes suggested here help even one person visit your listing, wouldn't it be worth it? I have seen people's listings just torn to shreds on here...but in most cases the op takes the comments in the manner they were intended...trying to help. Good luck, your home really is lovely.

Sorry, but after preparing for a very long time for selling my house (isn't that what the title indicates?), it was just very exciting to finally reach the time that I was seeing my own listing online and a for sale sign in the yard. I regret ever posting it now, so please, no more need to comment on this thread.

Now I'm feeling like you really were offended by the comments even though you are claiming that you weren't. So I'll apologize again.
I know you requested no more comments, but I'd just like to suggest that you ask Houzz to remove this thread instead. That's the only way to be assured that there are no more comments.

There I go ... trying to be a 'fixer' again ... will I never learn? :)
