With our
on-the-road date only one month away, we began making plans to put the condo
into the hands of a property manager as a rental. We really didn’t want to rent it, but it
seemed like that was going to be the only viable option.
We really intensified the disposition of our
“stuff”. Family antiques were picked up
by Gary’s brother’s family. Gary’s son
just happened to buy a house with his Fiancee and he was able to take a fair
amount of stuff; we were very happy they could use it, rather than us selling
it. We also loaded them up with other
things they never even knew they wanted and needed.
We had a very nice reception at The Oak Café and a lot of
our friends and family came to see us off and wish us well on our new
adventure.
We cleaned out all the files and pulled out the stuff
from every nook and cranny. We were
going from about 3,000 sq ft including the basement to about 400 in the motor
home.
We lowered the listing price of the condo and were about
to sign on with the property manager when in later July we had another
showing. We received some very good
feedback after the showing and decided to delay our August 1 departure a bit to
see how it all played out. The motor
home was in the service shop anyway and we “borrowed it back” the last weekend
in July to begin loading it up. After a
second showing of the condo and some negotiations we reached a deal for a sale.
