One day. That’s all it took to sell my little piece of pastoral paradise. But you could have knocked me over with a chicken feather when the flood of requests for showings started filling my inbox when the listing came out, writes Carola Vyhnak
Freelance writer Carola Vyhnak is leaving her four-acre country home, north of Cobourg, Ont., for a smaller place in a nearby town. She’s keepingleading up to the sale of her propertyBut you could have knocked me over with a chicken feather when the flood of requests for showings started filling my inbox and message app, when the listing came out.
By the time the dust settles on the dirt road leading to my door, 22 prospective buyers, tire-kickers and nervous first-timers have peered into closets, turned on taps and been wowed by the views of nature. But it turns out the secluded location isn’t the dreamers’ cup of camomile after all, and it’s a young family of four who decide to give it a go.
In the scramble to hide all signs of life before every showing, I go through a checklist: cat litter box behind a closed closet door; throw pillows on the beds; kitchen counter de-crumbed; dog and dog bed removed.
