Just two more days and I will be looking out at this view again and trying to figure out a plan. The plan will be to sell-off what real estate we have in North Alabama and finding someone with a great bluewater sailboat, motorsailor, or catamaran in the Baja Area that wants to trade for a Grand Banks Trawler located on the Tennessee River and conveniently placed to cruise the Eastern third of the U.S. in what is called The Great Loop. Now that second part of finding someone who wants to trade boats, may not be as difficult as it sounds. For me it will seem more challenging to sell a house in the Historic Albany District, a commercial complex in Old Decatur and a riverside townhome. But, as is likely to be the case with all of these obstacles, it can be as easy as simply putting the sign up "For Sale" and then setting the price so fair and attractive that they sell almost immediately.
For example, the house four doors down to the East of us was listed with a realtor and sold for full price within one week. And then there is the case of the house three doors to the West that was placed "For Sale by Owner" and sold within 24 hrs. Both of these actually happened within the last month or two. I guess it will be up to me to set a good price and be ready for a quick sale. That is hard when you have spent nearly two decades in one location.......
