We have a verbal agreement on our offer! The relocation company didn’t even haggle, which of course makes us think, “We didn’t go low enough.” But who knows . . . if we had gone lower, perhaps they would have split the difference and we’d have ended up at a higher strike price.
If this sale goes through, the new home will be our nicest yet. We’ll have a pool and a guest bedroom, so if you and your spouse have ever looked deeply into one another’s eyes and said, “Honey, let’s vacation in Bakersfield this year,” now you have a place to stay.
Just think: you’ll be centrally located. Bakersfield is two hours away from the San Simeon coast, the Sierra Nevadas, and Los Angeles. It’s the ideal staging point for countless adventures.
You’re only imagining that I’m whistling “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” I’m looking forward to this. Really I am!
