We've never sold a house before so not sure if we should expect more of this or not.

In two days, we've had three private inspections. The two yesterday were fine. They were with the agents who listed our house and I came home and struggled to even see that someone had been here.

Today was an agent we're not dealing with from the same agency, but she had someone who was interested. First off she called me to confirm my appointment this morning at my own house. She had me down as the buyer. Laughed that one off.

I left the house and had been gone for about half an hour when she rang to say buyer was running late. No probs, thanks for letting me know.

An hour later I'm talking to DH on the phone and he gets another call coming through. It's our house calling him. The alarm is going off. He calls the agent and she hasn't followed the instructions so the alarm can't set and it's going off. The other agents have had no problem.

I get home, sort out the alarm and do a walk through. There is a soccer ball that belongs to my dogs sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor. It was out of sight outside when I left. The curtains have been pulled down which defeats the purpose of us trying to sell the house as "fantastic indoor outdoor living". One blind is down all the way to the floor. I have some toys in the nursery that have been fiddled with and the pram is in the middle of the room, not where I'd left it out of the way.

I was sort of expecting that I'd come home to find the house as I'd left it. I guess our normal agents doing exactly that has left me with a false sense of what should happen. I really have no idea, but what would you expect?
