When we sold our last house…. Mmmm, make that “next to last” house… the children had a blast turning our “For Sale” sign into a “Sold”. When we sold this house, the first thing they said was: “We have to take a picture of the sign flippin’!!” (For those unaware of details such as this one, the “Sold” sign is the flip side of the “For Sale” sign).
And so it goes… 2009
- Who cares if froggies are a good omen? When you’re that cute, you’ve got to be!
- Et voilà! Another house sold, with a nod to our long suffering agent, Tanyse MacLoed. (That’s just a joke by the way. Three of our four houses sold in less than a week, this one on the first day of showings. Given the 5% commission, I’d say that’s a pretty good hourly wage. But she’s worth it!)
Hey Vero 
Congratulations! Now, to turn the question on you, where are you off to?
We are already off! We rented a place 5 minutes away from where we sold. Now we start looking for a piece of country paradise where we will build our not-so-big house. We want to design and build a house that can comfortably lodge 10+ people well under 2,000 sq. ft. and pay for it cash (hence the move from ownership to rental) We think it’s all in the design.
We always wanted to do that. I hope you keep us updated on your ideas/successes/lessons learnt. I think you are right about it all being design and function. Good luck!
