I used to be more genuine in my writing then I grew up. So only the pure facts come out from now on.
I do believe that I achieved the biggest thing in my life. With my Brother I managed to sell my mother's house. It was almost a 10 year Project so to say. As we knew 10 years ago that the bank took its hand on it and only one person has the right to sell it. She not only took it as a persona attack and offence that we wanna help selling but also screamed and yelled at us for hours every time when the topic came up. so the case ended up in auction by bailiff. we had 3 weeks to go. impossible right?
How did I get to know about the auction? Out of the blue my uncle called me: "did you know that your mother's house is on auction?" I immediately called my brother who - I learnt weeks later - collapsed. 3 weeks of "supposed to be" xmas holiday got extended to 5 weeks and from the first day till the last I was talking to lawyers,bailiff, bank, real estate. We went to bailif to ask what is the status...very complicated burocratic process and eventually they said you can pay anytime before auction ends. so with the 3 weeks in our heads, my brother figured out that selling is possible and he quickly submitted an ad. within 3 days 2 customers appears. I didnt know if i am a girl or boy I was so surprised/happy/anxious. we managed to arrange to show the house without mother noticing...kinda fooled process already but we had to do it. Then one of the customers said yes!
So we told mother and she said NO WAY I am selling the house. never...and kept yelling for hours. this was repeated with my father present and just me alone with her...I started to be afraid. So my father said give up, she will never sign the papers...
dont say give up to me, coz i upset myself. I dont know what is never!
I was thinking what is the catch that could work. I went to her calm and friendly, said we are one team and we solve problems together, so listen to me. we figure out how to sell and move out so that it is good for everyone. and she said YES! i was like..........
I will never forget that moment when she said yes. We worried though that we are too late with the papers and customer went. So the real estate chick said higher price compared to the original and they still wanted. but to manage the whole shit....I was telling my brother what to say to the real estate agent and customer, I was telling mother to do what we say. Both were low with energy. I felt everything is on my shoulders. but i wont give up.
customer came again with stonemansons to check each corner and then final confirm the offer. there was again the risk that they cancel. but they didnt!
And again mother and signing papers, asking stupid questions, almost revealed that we slipped a couple of things...
we managed...with a lot of more complications, paperwork, bailif visits.
I will never forget what we did with my brother. This was almost equal to impossible...
