Anyone who thinks the scene of Annette Bening frantically cleaning the house she's showing in American Beauty is an exaggeration, is dead wrong. For 2 days I've been doing a ton of work to get one of my listings to close. Here's a PARTIAL list:
- replace burnt out light bulb (easy)
- replace hard-to-find burnt out ceiling fan lightbulb (2 trips back/forth to get ladder and bulbs)
- mop
- arrive at 8:00AM Saturday to let a handyman in
- arrive at 6:00AM Thursday to let a plumber in
- fix blinds
- clean toilet
- fix drain stop
- make 3 trips to hardware store for supplies
- paint
As a Realtor I get paid for my services, but sometimes those services enter into the humiliation category. This week has been one big "pride-swallowing SIEGE that I will NEVER fully tell you about!"
Help me help you. Closing is at 3:00 today. I can't wait for this to be over.
