    It's also OK to get a new realtor too. If you are trying to sell quickly, you need someone who will tell you the truth and price appropriately. Not every realtor has the same style.

    We did! The realtor told us we wouldn’t get as much for our house and was only caring about their percentage. Swapped to a new one got a better price for our house and then the new realtor asked for a less percentage too. Change!

    I love how open and honest this video is. This is what makes you guys relatable to your audience. I feel sometimes youtubers lose that as they grow. These are the struggles and hurdles that lots of people go through and its refreshing to hear your guys perspective on things. I look forward to the future videos you mentioned and have my fingers crossed for you in this next stage :)

    We went through a similar situation when we tried to sell our home a few years ago. Series of contingent offers, nothing selling, etc. Finally, a year later, we put our house back on the market and it sold. We then found the PERFECT house for our family. WAY better than the house we originally had our eyes on. Your house will sell when it is time...everything does happen for a reason.

    We put offers in on a few houses that we loved and they all fell through and at the time it was so disappointing but God knew what we needed, we found a house put an offer in, location was perfect, we put the offer in before it hit the market but they needed to wait the weekend before presenting to the owner, also the listing price was our max, they excepted our offer even though there were better offers it all fell into place, God knew what we needed and he provided it

    Yes! Please talk about money! No one ever talks about it, which is ridiculous since everyone has to deal with it! We are getting ready to move out of our rental and buy our first home and I wish people talked more openly about money, savings, equity, down payments, mortgage rates, etc!

    We can totally relate to your house journey! We were supposed to close on our new home November 20th but we couldn’t sell ours in time. It was so tough, we really loved that home. But, as you said - God has a better plan. Right now it’s hard to see it, but I know both our families will see the “why it didn’t work out” eventually and it will all make sense!

    It took us ten months to sell our home. Only after we finally staged it properly and made the necessary upgrades (staining the old kitchen cabinets, removing bulky furniture, wall mounting TV, painting neutral colors) did it finally sell. We had over 60 showings and were so drained. It was awful. Good luck guys!!

    Sending you good vibes. We were on the same predicament as you guys, expensive and too large of house. Lessons learned for sure. We accepted an offer that wasn’t exactly as much as we had hoped but it still allowed us to get out of here and pay off 40k of debt. We are walking away with less than what our down payment was due to realtor fees but at least we can move to the next chapter. Best of luck to you guys! We are getting closer to the best buying season!

    It will work out. We made a huge mistake buying a house 6 years back had to end up doing a short sale then we moved back in with my husbands parents BUT we learned payed both cars off and debt and saved up and we will be looking again in March. It’s been a journey and I have had to have ALOT of patience but I’ve had plenty of time to know exactly what I want and I know god will find the perfect house when the time comes. Praying for y’all.

    Having more decor out to keep the house cozy to try and sell is a good idea. Maybe after the house sells you can declutter that extra decor and still only keep what you love and need.

    You are on point with your cost on extras, you make as repairs. An example. I put new windows in my house. Good, better or best. I chose better. My
    neighbor chose best. Same style house. All houses come with windows! Both needed new toilets. You guessed it. My cost for all, labor included was about $500. Not their's..Both toilets do the same job. Now they claim their house is better. I can see out my windows and my toilet flushes just find. Good Luck with your new house adventure.

    I am fixin' to be right there with yall. We just bought this house 2.5 yrs ago. Now our elderly in laws need help in FL. So we are trying to get our ducks in a row to sell and move down there. However, the market here in TN is stagnant right now. Plus the equity situation is such that if we do sell, we might not get enough out of it to have a down payment for another in FL. It will all work out in HIS time.. Prayers up for you.

    I feel you guys! We had to swap houses with my inlaws. Renovations were supposed to be completed so we could move in the first part of August. We had to wait for said in laws to move out come the end of September then had about a week to get the house ready to move in (it was far from being done) . It’s January and it’s still not done. I keep telling myself it’s just how it’s supposed to be but some days it’s so hard to believe.

  • @TxMom13
    @TxMom13 5 років тому

    SAME EXACT THING happened to us when selling our previous house. We listed in September, over priced in general AND priced over appraisal 🙄 like idiots. It took until May to sell it and even then it would have been much more complicated if it hadn’t sold for cash. We had numerous obstacles with it being a mobile home, beware of that** lol. But when it comes down to it, we didn’t HAVE to sell so it wasn’t all that serious. Actually needing to sell to downsize your mortgage would definitely be so much more stressful. Good luck to y’all, it will go a lot better the second time listing, I know it will!

    We listed our house in September thinking it would take a while. It sold in 11 hours!!! We went into it with the same mentality as you and it was obviously meant to happen that way. But we weren’t prepared at all. Ugh! It all happened so fast it was hard to process, especially for our kids. Praying for you guys! 😉

    Ya know-many of us can tell you to just hold on...don't give up....and while I do believe that and say that to you I also say FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE-
    "EVERYTHING IS FOR SOMETHING" . Even financial hardships and challenges are meant for something..the secret is-having enough faith to wait on that
    "something" to be revealed....I also live my life on the thought of "there's somebody somewhere that would gladly take my junk-over theirs" b/c it could ALWAYS be worse and for a lot of people, it is. That helps me with difficult situations and I pray it helps you....also-on the 20th of Dec I lost my Dad. He died after a 2 year battle with severe copd-and not once in his last month on this earth did he mention or think about what was in his bank account but rather desperate trying to make sure all he loved knew exactly how deep his love for them was....all of us will be in that bed one day-leaving those we love and I would think that most of what we spend our time on this earth doing and worrying about will not even cross our minds at that time. I have decided that we all just need to live as if there's no tomorrow--b/c there just may not be. 💛💛

    Going to say it again.......don’t stage a house, ever. Live in it as you normally would. People are more likely to buy a “lived in” house. How many peoples home do you go into that are perfectly set up like show homes? Also everything happens for a reason. The right home for you is out there and it will happen when it’s made to happen. Your faith is strong, hold onto that. ❤️

    Well, it’s a learning curve isn’t it? I don’t think it will be too difficult to warm up your home, you did the hard part already. A home as large as you have is going to be more difficult to sell, and take more time, because there just aren’t that many people who can afford to live in a home like you currently own. You are a victim of your own success when you really think about it. Be patient and use your creativity to showcase your home at it’s finest.

    My family has been trying to sell my grandma's TWO houses so we can settle her will and get into our trusts. It's been 2 1/2 years! I thought we would get this settled by last Christmas, then Dad assured me it would be by the end of 2019. Still not sold either house! I have no idea why my grandma thought selling both the houses would be easy, but so far, it's been a bit of a nightmare. Both houses needed work done, one needed a new roof, one had a water leak flood the basement.

    Aww, boo. I was hoping that y’all would have some good news coming on the house front. But maybe now y’all are better prepared to buy/sell and will find an even better house in Birmingham. Wishing you all the best wishes and a Happy New Year to come! Oh, by the way, just my personal opinion, but Cullen, I like your other glasses better. 🙃

    Don't let the realtor price too low!!! They want a quick turnover so they can get their commission!!!!!

    Lol Cullen maybe Alexander Shunnarah can sponsor a video. Surely he has run out of billboards. He can expand to UA-cam ads and sponsorships lol.
