Man coming to look at my house

Even if you figure out later on, that you might need to have additional moving help,
(before or after your cousin's group)
at least they could make a dent in moving some of the things, or in any of the other moving-related tasks that need to be done, at that time which they end up coming.
 

I notice you have a lot of "collectables". This morning I donated a couple of items to the the local animal shelter, and they had a massive pile of ceramic "collectables" in their parking lot....teapots, cups, small statues, etc., etc. The lady said there is NO local market for that kind of stuff, and they are just putting them out there for "Free" to anyone who wants to take them.

If and when you get an offer be sure to negotiate. Most of the time you can get the price up, at least some. And I don't think asking for more ever kills a deal, not if you are willing to go back down the the original offer. I always ask for more (or less if buying), even if I think the offer is reasonable. Usually works.

Good luck!
 

Lots of houses on the market these days are making it clear to their realtor that they are waiting 3 days or even a week for all offers coming in before making a decision.

If there is already one offer on the table when another buyer is considering to also place an offer, then his realtor will say,"There is already an offer (or multiple offers) so give them your highest offer possible if you want this property and know that more offers may be coming in".

That's how sellers today are often getting over the asking price by quite a lot.

I got a PM from the man that looked at my house yesterday, He said he'd let me know his decision on Tuedsay. Why would he need almost a week to do that?

He’s probably researching the area and costs for all the repairs. Also, by keeping you waiting, he won’t appear too anxious.
 
I looked into renting a dumpster. I think the rates are excessive - $200 a day that it is on a customer's property - if they don't pick it up,,thay can keep charging. Added to that, they don't allow most of what I have to dispose.

Shop around!! You should be able to find providers online.

I have rented roll-offs many times, probably larger than the dumpster you are considering. Never paid more than $300 to $500 or so and kept for a month or more. Great way to quickly clear junk from a house, but don't underestimate the size you need, I usually do.

What do you have that they don't allow? Never had that problem, but then I never ask. Just put things into black plastic bags...

Thursday morning. I know him, he's a local real estate investor, so likely looking for something to flip. I'll probably get a song and dance about the money needed to fix it up and that even then he will have to make 60% over his investment (or whatever his profit margin is). Anyone want to guess what he will offer, if anything?

Not much I bet
