Help us sell our house and make a few bucks

Now that we’re all moved to our lakefront place, we’re going to sell the house in Hardin Valley. We lived there for 10 years, and it’s an incredible place. It was tough to leave.

So what’s in it for you? Bring us a buyer and we’ll give you 1% of the sale price after the deal closes. That’s an easy $3,500 if we get our asking price. Just help us spread the word that it’s for sale and send people links to the photos. I’ll be putting up a video tour too in the next week or two.

I’ve posted a bunch of photos on Flickr that include descriptions of the various features, asking price and other information. If you want to know more, send me an e-mail or post a comment here.

Video of the great room

Here’s video I shot of the great room at the new house. It starts with a shot of the kinetic artwork that Lara bought me for Christmas and pans around the great room, featuring stunning shots of Sydney the Cockatoo along the way. Not terribly exciting, but a good look at the new place.

LBJ of the dead

LBJ managed to make the trip over to the new house, and he found a home in the beams above the great room along with the large skeleton from my Dia de los Muertos collection. It was brutal getting the skeleton perched there, but after a lot of swearing and tottering around on a ladder, I pulled it off.

The house is “livable” as Lara says. We’re settled in pretty well now and we’re both amazed at how well our art collection works here. There are a few pieces we’re still trying to place, but overall, it’s gone well.

Now we have to try to sell the place in Hardin Valley. We’re going to try to do it ourselves intead of using a real estate agent since we’re not in a big hurry. It cleaned up nicely and we’re hoping to start advertising it in earnest within the next week or two. Also, we’re going to try a viral marketing campaign, offering a 1 percent finder’s fee to anyone who brings us a buyer. If we close, you get 1 percent. Not a bad deal …

I’ve posed a few more photos on my Flickr account and am uploading video that offers a bettter look at the great room. More soon …
