Just saw your post Gil...4 years and counting on selling your current home, but hopefully the end is now in sight. Been doing same thing for eldest daughter, helping her sell her existing home as the upkeep is more than she wants to keep spending money on. Purchase offers in past month have fallen thru twice and yesterday she accepted a 3rd offer...but as we have seen, house is not sold til the checks cross the table.
Perhaps when it comes to moving time...you could solicit some forum help to move the jewels from the Office of Steam...they deserve TLC for sure.
thinking of you,
