The last details...

So, the uber-Realtor Ron who has shepherded us through the details of converting the old Family Home into a cash asset for Nana's retirement has told us the its all over but the ca-ching in the next day. After restraining my instincts to remodel everything about the old place and aiming us at the critical clean-up/paint-up that really mattered, a fair price was obtained and the treacherous path of inspection and appraisal was negotiated with minimal pain. We have substantially improved mom's resources for the years ahead, distributed a ton of memories and memorabilia, settled Mom in a wonderful situation close to family that cares for her, and in a setting that seems to work very well. I'm still young enough to find it reassuring that my Mom is OK and old enough to look forward to my own path down the road of retirement. I hope it goes as well for us. We have spoken to agents about listing the house in Juneau and may have to start some of our own transitions soon. Would that it go as well as mom's sale did.
