Those 6 words are enough to make me question EVERYTHING. I'm sorry, I really try hard not to swear, but the title should have clued you in. This process is sooo SHITTY. It makes me think really unkind things about my fellow humans. Why, I ask you, did you come to see my house if it is farther east than you want to live? Why did you need to make an appointment, BLOW IT OFF, then call to say you're coming just as I sit my girls down for a much needed snack only to give us feedback that the rooms are too small for you? The measurements are ON THE LISTING. Did you think that the room sizes might magically change? These aren't my only frustrations, not by far. For God's sake people, if I'm going to bust my ass to make my house look the way YOU want it and not the way my FAMILY wants it, get your shit together and don't waste my time. If you came to see my house and decided you didn't want to buy it, could you at the very least leave me some constructive feedback? Give me SOMETHING I can change? I can't do a whole lot about how far east my house is. And I'm really bad at changing room sizes THAT ARE ALREADY DOCUMENTED AND BUILT. How about something along the lines of repainting or refinishing or landscaping! This is one of those days I come home from somewhere and can form no other words until I get "I hate people" out of my mouth. Such bullshit. This process sucks in ways I never could have fathomed. I would rather pass kidney stones than do this. Oh wait, I get to do that at the same time.
Neat-o gang. I think I get now why you see so many listings of homes where they so clearly made no effort to 'make it pretty'. I may not even leave the house for the next showing. I'm just going to sit on the couch in my underwear eating chocolate and screaming at the TV. The TV I didn't turn on. Yeah. I'm crazy bitches. Buy my house or get the f*** out.
That said, anyone looking to move? It's a lovely neighborhood. School nearby. Lots of parks. And if you buy my house, I'll leave.

Oh! Honey!! It'll get better! I promise! It's hard cause your house feels like a part of you and when someone critisizes (sp??) it it almost feels personal! I would love to come tour the house while your screaming at a television that isn't on......U R SO FUNNY!!! Miss you! Can't wait to see you!
That is EXACTLY what I told Jeff today! It feels like this horrible rejection, and I am not good at coping with rejection. I'm really looking forward to hanging out this summer!!
I am now looking forward to next month when we put our house on the market even less. Ha! I read all those "How to Sell Your House In a Crap Market" books, but we live in a "city cleanup" neighborhood so expectations are pretty low. I am just hoping for a real estate company to low ball us to turn our house into a rental property. Hope your luck turns around soon!
