Before, during, and after the sale, I was constantly solicited to sell. Mail, phone, texts, e-mails.

I didn't look at the numbers and I didn't respond to any of them.

I stuck with my realtor and sold it to a young couple, looking to start a family.

I already knew about Wall Street gobbling up properties.
