Where are we moving from and to?

Several years back, we sold my mom’s Chicago suburb condo on Easter Sunday. Likely it was a coincidence. That day happened to be husband’s birthday and we were doing the discounted ferry trip to Catalina Island. A couple wanted to tour the condo that day and then made an offer.

So there I was, reviewing offers and negotiating and reading and signing PDF’s on my iPhone - while traveling in a ferry and golf cart and sitting by the harbor. All done by the ferry ride back. Interesting day!

Also interesting - we had been in San Diego for less than a year. The offer came in near asking price, all cash, no inspection, and short close. I said it sounded like a California (not Illinois) offer. Sure enough, the couple was from a town near Pasadena (and had actually chaired their town’s Rose Parade float for several years). They knew how to make a strong offer.
