Step One in the New House Journey

Hello bloggers! I'm excited to tell you that we are in the early stages of looking for a new house! Holla! We're looking for a house in Houston - preferably inside the loop if we can find one we love!

We met with our first Realtor on Saturday. We are meeting with two more and then we'll decide which one to go with for the buying of our new house and selling of our current house. Diego is the Realtor we met, and we really liked him. We were excited to hear that we don't have to do too much to improve our home before putting it on the market. Here are the things we need to do:

1. Buy a couch cover for the couch in our bedroom that Charley used as a chew toy last year - CHECK! PS: Did you know these babies are expensive? We went to Target and I seriously thought the cover was going to be $20-$30; ummm....upwards of $70 people! Holy cow!

2. Buy a "magic eraser" and get the black marks/stains off our walls. Side note: Have any of you ever used this tool? Oh my gosh - its amazing! Seriously, I should post before and after pics! A pack of 4 cost about $4 and get pretty much all of your marks off your wall! It's amazing - hubs and I love them. Here's a photo of them!
3. Steam clean our carpets (this we knew)

And, that's all! Obviously, we need to do a few other things like clean really well, replace light bulbs, take down items that we don't want the future buyers to fall in love with, and of course organize our closets so we can really show off how "spacious" everything is!

Wish us luck on the home buying journey! We're so excited!
