HOW IT STARTED

In January 2012, there were 4 very bored people who decided to take a drive down the West Coast to see what they could see,  and ended up in St Helena Bay, where they decided to visit an estate agent and see what was on offer.  To their surprise there was a house available in their price range, and they all went to see it.  After a look around they had worked out who would have what room and decided to put in an offer, which was accepted, subject to them selling their existing property.   After a lot of pushing, pleading and pampering, and the planting of St Joseph, their house was put on the market.

For 5 weeks every Sunday was the same - get up  clean up and clear our as the house was on show, and every Sunday they got feedback from the agent - property too big,  too long, too small  not enough grass, corner plot only 1 bathroom etc.

Their  property had to be sold by midnight on 30 April, and to their delight an offer was signed at 9pm on 30 April, subject to the buyer getting bond finance by 21 May.

Well the days and hours went by and they waited with baited breath.  At the 11th hour there had been no answer, so the very helpful agents asked for a day's extension - which much to the relief of the family was given by the seller. Eventually approval was given - subject to an assessment, so as I write this we are just waiting for the final approval, and then we will be all smiles.
