Renter??

It's looking sort of cloudy all of a sudden, on this Saturday morning. If it gets to be a rainy day, that will make it easier for me to just stay home and try to relax.

AFTER I get this place up to "code," so to speak, for a showing I am doing myself.

This afternoon, my friend J. is bringing HER friend H. over to see the condo. H. is someone I met at J's house once. She's very sweet, and works with J.

H. is, for reasons as yet unknown to me, in need of a new place to live. She is very interested in renting my condo.

At least she sounded so when I spoke to her on the phone Thursday.

I went on line and found an application I could print out for free. My friend C. has said that she can help me with doing background and credit checks.

If it all works out, I could possibly find a renter ON MY OWN, without the help of my realtor, who has been completely out of touch for a couple of weeks now, due to her mother being ill.

I am pretty sure it's time to cancel my contract with her anyway. She's been my realtor now for a full year, and nothing has happened. She needs to focus on her family now anyway.

This potential renter idea is giving me the incentive to go ahead and fire her.

So, back to the cleaning yet to do. Wish me luck!

I will be doing this today, rather than going out to see that beautiful steam locomotive again, as it passes through this way.

My sister and brother in law may or may not go, depending on what the weather does.

Maybe later, after J. and H. leave, I will do errands and stuff, and get that overwith, so I have tomorrow off. Also depends on the weather.

UPDATE: J. and H. came early, because H. was really anxious to see the place. SHE LOVED IT! The place she's living in now is turning into a dump, and her land lady lives upstairs, and is the REASON it's turning into a dump. H. just wants out.

To her, this place was like heaven! Top floor, beautiful view, clean, everything works, no mold on the walls, no tile peeling away. The laundry room is right down the hall, instead of down the street. The rooms are nice and big. The closet is amazing.

She was thrilled. She took the paperwork with her, and will fill it out and send me a check next week for the credit and background check.

Let's hope the next part all goes well!
