We wrote, "... everything goes, including the house." in our newspaper ads for the garage sale and on the first day Phil led walk-throughs for three potential buyers. On Friday morning, the first lady who looked, called her husband and they came back later that day and he took the tour. On Sunday, she came back and told Phil they wanted the house and agreed to the "as is" stipulation to get the price we offered. This morning, we drove to Olympia and I signed all the papers and agreed to the 2.5% fee for the agent even though Phil and I both thought they told us, because he was a friend of theirs, he'd do the paperwork for "free." Oh well, I don't know how to do the paperwork and for sure, even if I did, I don't WANT to do it ... so compared to 6% (the usual real estate agent's fee) it's a bargain and we capitulated without too much argument. It amounts to about $3,000, payable at closing; we can live with that. We've asked for a closing date of October 30th but realistically don't expect it to happen until November 10th. Once the check clears ... we're out of here!
