You might speak privately with the broker and let him or her know your concerns. Most firms would rather let you out of your contract than have the bad word of mouth. If you stay with the realtor you are with through the summer, you are missing out on peak selling season by not having the best salesperson on your listing.

Honestly, we had a three year old and that pool was scary. So, it may seem even more overwhelming to a buyer than it does to you. I think you are on the right track to plan to take it down.<br />I also think a sandy fire pit area is a great way to minimize costs and make something fun. I would also price putting up a tether ball pole or a volleyball net. Maybe a hanging sail type sunshade. Buyers in my neck of the woods love that stuff!<br />Hope it all comes together cheaply and easily and the next potential buyer snaps it up.<br />I don't know how you tolerate that mean troll.

It's not YOUR job to find out why your home isn't selling, it's theirs.<br />As for the pool, I'd say to my realtor, have potential buyers make an offer with the situation in mind. Or, have it pulled d on an, and let the landscape stand....and again...money talks. Deduct the cost of grass seed from the offer!<br />Good luck. I wish you luck in getting south sooner rather than later...Quality of life in many ways is easier...why, we could loo d actually have two showers AND the washing machine running at once, and even the odd toilet flush, and nobody was frozen or scalded!Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07787702814280004076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-80844712685540345872015-06-01T21:35:00.756-04:002015-06-01T21:35:00.756-04:00LOL.LOL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-64973800148637830152015-06-01T20:44:48.439-04:002015-06-01T20:44:48.439-04:00C/Cordelia/Stuck, your continued nastiness is ve...C/Cordelia/Stuck, your continued nastiness is very sad.

I like the idea of re-purposing the area as a patio. If draining and disposing of the pool truly is easy, maybe you can get it done before G-man comes home, to make his week home more productive? Also, hopefully, your family might even have a day or so for relaxation and fun before he is off again.Petunia 100https://www.blogger.com/profile/11419094642410711334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-6805152757790297232015-06-01T15:41:14.818-04:002015-06-01T15:41:14.818-04:00Yep.
