For Sale - 7714 Alverstone Way

March 4th 2013 - Our house of 6 years is officially up for sale!

March 14th 2013 - 10 days and 7 showings later our house has a buyer!

April 5th 2013 - We closed on the house passing it on to new buyer Sabrina Colon! 

Well, I spent 2 months of my life cleaning, packing, preparing, and staging our house to put it on the market. I mean 6 days a week for two months our life was consumed with cleaning, researching, repairing, etc... We originally listed it For Sale By Owner, but then our friend and Realtor Christi Easton said that if we used her to buy a house she would sell this one for only 1% commission. We took the deal. I am so glad that we did because it really got a lot more people looking at it with the tools that she had available to her for advertising. All I can say is: I am glad that it sold quickly! I put my hear and soul into decorating and keeping it clean. My poor children, they will tell you that I was a complete Nazi mom during this process and it's absolutely true. They weren't even allowed to sleep in their beds while we showed the house! That way everything would always look neat. Basically the way you see it pictured below is how I always had it looking just in case someone came to look at it and it felt like 3 full time jobs. Since we have 3 children we spent a lot of non-school hours out of the house. Here are the pics for posterity's sake, cleaner than it ever was when we actually "lived" in it:

We have had so many great memories in this house. We moved in the first weekend in April 2007. Lillie was not quite 3 and Samuel was 9 months old. Little Grant was not even a thought in anyone's head yet. He was however born in the living room so that's quite a memory in itself! Our family has done quite a bit of growing in this house and it will be hard to leave. We have such a wonderful ward family in the San Antonio 3rd Ward, San Antonio West Stake. We have so many friends in the surrounding areas and L and S have had such wonderful teachers and friends at Burke elementary. We will miss you Alverstone Way but we are also excited for new adventures!
