Caveat Emptor

The first offer is the best one? Is that the rule for selling one's house? We've had an agent, a buyer's representative, the rep plus the couple she represents and now the daughter and her parents and the broker all come through our house in the past three days. Sally met them. she says they're about perfect, that the house is about exactly what they are looking for, that the woman is a landscape designer, that they love old houses. But one must avoid getting too excited. The dance continues, on the other hand.

In the meantime, I want to forge ahead in Providence, but our hands are tied until our South Salem real estate moves. How nice would it be, were we able to segue from there to here so seamlessly? How nice, were these people to say "yes, we want it" and meet our asking price! It is a lot to hope for, but why not? Caveat emptor? What they see is what they get. Don't kick the tires too many times, you fools, or we'll both lose the sale. We have no tricks up our sleeves. And old house is an old house is an old house!
