[SoCalDem]

Paying 2 mortgages for 18 months has been BRUTAL...

our dear friend (and realtor) got us top dollar

I feel like a 10 ton weight is off my shoulders...

we are using our tax free sale advantage (because we are old)...


it's nice to finally be rid of it

2. Been there/done that a month ago...

After living in the same house for 53 years, it was a bitter/sweet procedure, but I had to downsize. Paying two of everything can get darned old after a couple months. Congrats!

8. It took us two years of paying two mortgages (this was about 10 years ago).

On A Friday afternoon I called the bank that the mortgage on the house we were trying to sell and told them I was going to have to surrender the deed. They said they would have someone call me back. The next day I got a call from our realtor that we had an offer at our asking price.

Whew!
