So we had our 2nd viewing tonight and it really bought home one thing to me...I am NOT a salesman so what the fuck am I doing showing people around. Isn't that what I'm meant to be paying an Estate Agent for? I'll be damned if I'm paying them a 1.65% commission to advertise the property only. I can forgive the 1st showing, it was a Sunday, but not tonights. I think I'm going to have to start being stern with them, because if I start things off, with us being the ones bending then they're going to expect us to do all their leg work for them the whole time it's on the market.
Tonights viewing was a complete disappointment, I spent a chunk of the day mopping the floors and moving the dryer back into the Garage, and they came and went within 10-15 fucking minutes. I was kind of hopeful about these guys, 1st Time Buyers, no chain, and they really seemed to not be interested. They said a few positive things about the room sizes and what have you, but I'm not expecting to hear anything from them about a 2nd viewing or an offer.
We also got feedback from the 1st viewing we had on Sunday, and she said to the Realtor that she can see a 3 bedroom house in Garforth for less, in better condition...which is weird because neither our Estate Agents or me can find any 3 beds in the same style for the same money. The cheapest was 10k more, so fuck her.
I'm pissed off at myself for being so annoyed so soon, I had completely unrealistic expectations that I'd sell the house in a week it seems. I know that, and I know I should be settling down for the long haul but part of me is already gone, I just want the thing gone and to start again over in Canada.
It's my birthday tomorrow, maybe I'll get lucky and we'll get somebody else interested in the house and make a cheeky bid.
On a side note, Jordan showed me the outfit she got for my cousin's wedding next week and holy shit she looks smoking in it. I love that woman so much, I can't believe we've been married 5 years this October, time fucking flies.

I can't believe you've been married for five years, either. Neat.
That first bitch was just trying to needle you on price. It's the same sort of shit everywhere. When we were shopping for a house five years ago, every time we'd show a bit of interest in a place, one of the realtors was like "Oh, yeah, you better move quick. There's another couple interested and just about to make a bid on it." I saw through that one pretty quickly. The first time, I said "they can have it" and the second time I put in a bid $30,000 under the asking price (and got it for $20,000 under).
Yeah, it's messed up eh? I bet your kids are in college now :P
