Fixing/Selling our House

So after discovering that we are expecting twins we felt a desire/need to have a larger home. The housing market was at a good point for us to sell and also buy so we decided to finish remodeling and then to part with our first home. This was quite and endeavor cause I could not help the way I usually do and so a lot rested on Ray. But he pulled it all off magnificently and it all turned out beautiful! We gutted the bathroom and totally redid it and also tackled the kitchen which consisted of tearing off the old counter tops and painting the cabinets. The problem with the cabinets was that we didn't know to use oil based paint......and that discovery was made AFTER we had already painted everything with latex paint. Thankfully Alan was around a lot this summer and came and helped Ray strip off all the latex paint so we could repaint the cabinets the right way.  All of the projects turned out great so we put it up "for sale by owner". We had a few people come look that week and we also had quite a few real estate agents call and ask us to list with them. After about a week of doing this on our own we felt it ok to list with an agent so we could get it sold quicker. Well, it worked. After only 3 short days we had 3 offers and sold it! It was really hard to move this home cause we put so much blood, sweat and tears into it, but we know that we can make our next home just as wonderful and special.....if we can just find that next home. That part is turning out to be more difficult than originally thought.
