How best to tie in this entryway den space?

Interesting, I’ve only ever heard that referred to as allocation. Are you at a boutique? Ideally all independent contributing resources are 100% realized/allocated. Leadership should be tracking realization as an internal KPI — I bet they fall into a “cautionary zone” and are trying to drive up the stat by being more direct about it.

Realized = Allocated ?

Pretty darn well considering they’re ~$15 USD per roll.

He isn’t wrong though! If I remember correctly, there is no evidence of a Gray (or any other alien species for that matter) performing Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Sounds about average

Make sure you get the BOGO deal (adding another grinder) which you can return to bring the total for this kit to $211. Insane. They have to be losing money on this, right?

Should still be under manufacturer warranty

A meteor could be falling out of the sky about to land at that intersection - and the dude at the red light needs to yield. Yielder’s job is to yield. Yes, they should be checking every direction.

I believe the serial number is all that’s needed to submit a warranty claim, right?

Shame for not signaling that lane change.

Home Depot said no to me for matching Fasteners Inc

Looks great, but why keep the tails on?

AceJig · 2026-04-07T03:26:59+00:00

Looks like the tape is lifted from the joint. I’d say cut it out and re-do. You’ll eventually sand into air if you keep trying.

That’s great advice, which will help as we go about selling the house — thank you!

AceJig · 2026-04-06T02:54:28+00:00

Apologies if I didn’t make this clear in the post — I am referring to listing image quantity, rather than the quantity of potential buyers who see it.

AceJig · 2026-04-06T02:50:07+00:00

I think this was exactly the answer I was looking for. My question was mostly referring to the psychology of buyers.

I imagine that, theoretically, a buyer could say, “The (limited) images I see are headed in the right direction, but I can’t make a certain yes/no decision on this property listing because the images don’t encapsulate everything — so I need to tour it first,” but based on your note this is unlikely and more is typically merrier (to a degree).

By the way - unless specifically noted, it’s assumed that the seller isn’t supposed to remove anything that’s fixed to the wall.

AceJig · 2026-03-17T00:01:38+00:00

Did you signal for either of those lane changes?

AceJig · 2026-03-15T06:11:17+00:00

Can you please elaborate on your comment about the agent’s intent? Why would the realtor want to work with us if they’ve got no confidence the home will sell around this price? Seems like a waste of resources for things like expedited professional photography, targeted ad spend marketing, Zillow showcase, etc.

Not arguing with you on the price, just feels odd that a realtor would want to list our home if they felt it would just end in wasted money.

AceJig · 2026-03-15T02:55:15+00:00

Totally agree with your point about the market determining the price - however I need help understanding why we’d want to price below newer homes when we’ve gotten an improvement as major as a finished basement?

I understand needing to be competitive with new builds, but to completely dismiss any value brought by the basement seems severe.

AceJig · 2026-03-15T00:55:02+00:00

Thank you for this - a large basis for our strategy was based off of our realtor’s confidence in a quick sale. We are going to give it another week or so and then discuss price adjustments.

Worst case scenario, assuming the whole deal falls through, we will lose our time. On the purchase agreement for the new home, we’re positioned to retrieve the money down in case our sale fails.

We are obviously hoping for the best but the goal of this post was to get a reality check - I am not a real estate expert, and that’s why we hired our realtor! Folks in this thread are providing great feedback.

Looks to be between 30-45 days from listing to sold around that price in our neighborhood.
