    So happy we found your channel!! We are prepping the house we’ve owned for 30 years to sell. Met with 3 real estate agents and not a good fit for us. Your video helped us to consider selling on our own. Thank you

      Oh my gosh!!! Well it’s worth a shot to do it on your own!! You have a lot of work ahead of you so get ready! I hope all goes well. If you have any questions let me know! Good luck!

    So true on your children not wanting your stuff.
    Our last move we really got rid of so much stuff.
    My daughter in law did take quite a bit.
    Everything else I gave to the Goodwill and a thrift shop.
    My kind neighbor suggested I have a yard sale, 😂
    We both laughed.
    It was not worth my time or energy for that. Besides I like to donate or give things away to people who are in need and appreciate it.
    It’s not about the money.
    We all can use some help.

      We are glad we sold a lot of $3,000 is nothing to sneeze at and it’ll help pay for more epic adventures. I get it though.

    Good notes on "stuff". Been going over that with mom. I have no kids so a 45% action fee doesn't matter to me when I'm gone. Pay them to do it. Family was asked and don't want to deal with my "stuff" they said. See you in NY.

      Wow. And yes if you have no kids it might be worthwhile. See you soon!

    Thanks for the tips. Our daughter didn't want anything from our house either. Safe travels. Wish we could have made it to the huddle.

      So weird right? Thank you and we wish you could too! Rocky’s vision of New York is way different than what he expected. He thought it was all city.

    Just went through it as well. You speak words of wisdom. Our only regret was using a realtor. It’s been a month and still have two PODS in storage of stuff to get rid of. 14 months until retirement and into full time Mode. We plan selling the new home we just bought and buy a couple RV spots. We currently live in SC. But our grandkids are in Oregon. So….we will cross that bridge when we get there. BTW went looking at RV’s again. We will definitely be getting a Brinkley. There s nothing that compares out there. Safe travels.

      It’s tough downsizing. I’m grateful our kids are all in the same area. Makes it a little easier. Which Brinkley are you thinking you’ll get?

      @@whilewestillcan Probably a Z series as we currently own an F250 gas Super Duty. However my wife is coming around to the full time idea. So when we sell the house we will have more flexibility and then we could move to a bigger truck and fifth wheel.

      Rocky had spares so he replaced them which is not an easy job. I’m glad house stuff is behind us too!! I feel so much better now. We were passing by the Brinkley factory on the way to New York so we picked up some more from them.

    If you're in a desirable area you don't really need an agent. You can get your comps off Zillow to determine value. The attorney is a good idea.

    • @whilewestillcan
      @whilewestillcan  6 місяців тому +2

      Problem with comps and Zillow is that we live in a scarcely populated area so comps were hard to come by. We feel we did well though.

    I hate real estate clubs. They cause the overpriced situation we are in.
