Moving – The Process of Buying and Selling Your Home – Part Two

Moving - The Process of Buying and Selling Your House Part 2

Your home has sold, and you have an accepted offer on your new home. Now what? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that doesn’t mean the process is over. Things can still fall apart. Or get delayed. And disagreements can occur. But in the end, it will be worth it.

This post is to let you know what the process is like. I realize that buying and selling may be different depending on where you live. I know some people use attorneys for the process. Here in California, realtors are used. If you are buying a property, your realtor may be referred to as a buyer’s realtor. And likewise, if you are selling your home, your realtor is a seller’s realtor. Most likely, your realtor will represent you in both transactions. Other realtors will represent the buyer of your home and the sale of the home you are purchasing.

Moving – The Process of Buying and Selling Your Home – Part One

Moving - The Process of Buying and Selling Your Home Part One

As some of you may know, my husband and I have recently been involved in the process of buying and selling our home. It started early November 2022 and ended in late February 2023. That’s longer than we usually have experienced.

It is currently a hard season to be buying or even selling your home. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible. And our experience, buying our 6th home, has been the worst we have ever had. Don’t let that scare you. We have had experiences that were simple and stress free.

A Friend is one . . .

This is a famous quote from a famous man, William Shakespeare. So what? Well, it’s a wonderful quote and I hope that you have a friend like the one to which he is referring.

This was the quote I had on my Instagram account today. (@kimberlyannedejong) I love this quote. Not everyone has a friend like this. I hope you do. I do. She sticks by me and doesn’t let changes in my life destroy our friendship. Not everyone can do that, but my friend can.

Do you have a friend that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts who you have become, and gently allows you to grow? That is my hope for you. We all need a friend like that. Comment below about your friend that you can’t live without.

My 2023 Goals February Update

2023 Goals List February Update

My 2023 Goals List Progress

It’s a different list this year. It’s shorter. I hope it’s more doable if I only focus on three things. I didn’t do so well last year. How did you do? I hope better than me. Here is my February monthly update.

  1. Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress, but I’m not 1/6 of the way there. I’ve walked 140.8 miles for the year. Moving helped me add on extra miles. Hopefully, it’s warm enough soon and I’m done unpacking and I can start a regular walking routine.
  2. Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1.
  3. Lose five pounds. Progress: I’m up and down. Currently, I am at 5 pounds down, but I know I need to work harder on that. If I’m going to continue going up and down, I need to be closer to ten pounds down to remain 5 pounds down. These are the same five pounds I didn’t lose last year. We have a class reunion coming up next year so there is more incentive this time around.

So if you have a list, share it with me in the comments below. We can do this together, and hopefully, we all succeed this year. So, really, how did you do last year? And did that change your list for this year – either longer or shorter? Good luck.
