IT WORKED AGAIN
It had been a long time since I felt that I wanted something that I didn't already have, but when we moved into West Lake on Nov. 1, 1991 we still owned the home at 29 Mazatlan Drive, I really wanted to sell it and get it off my mind. I decided to follow as closely as possible the instructions that were given in the little book: IT WORKS.
After we had prepared the coach for sale, with new carpet, painted walls, clean floors, etc. Peggy listed it for sale. I began at once to follow the rules as closely as I could. I knew what I wanted, so it was not hard to be specific. I WANTED TO SELL THE COACH. and I wanted some one to buy it who could enjoy living there as much as we had.
In January people were looking; a couple living in Temelec put in a bid, but it was contingent upon the sale of their home. We offered to take a mortgage on their property and wait until their property sold. They were willing to sign a note but would not let us take a mortgage on their property. They came back to look at the place several times but nothing became of it.
In April, Max Beer from Los Angeles put down a payment of $1,000.00. A price of $46,250 was agreed upon, and papers were signed on May 5th., Max was to move in on June 1st., but on May 28th he had a heart attack, and the Doctor told him not to move at this time. Mail was already arriving, and for several weeks we were returning his mail. Max asked if $500 would be satisfactory to with draw his offer, and we accepted and listed the property again.
On Aug. 18th, Moon Valley was holding open house for coaches that they had for sale, and we put out a sign at our coach, hoping to attract buyers. Gordon had made a contact with a friend of his, suggesting that it would be a good place for him to live. The result: Bob and Lois Best bought 29 Mazatlan Drive and moved in September 1, 1992. They have been well pleased with their new home, and we have become good friends.
I will never know, whether the property sold because I consciously made an effort to instruct my subconscious mind, or perhaps it would have sold without effort on my part. The interesting point is that there were over 20 coaches for sale in Moon Valley, and 7 in Pueblo Serena. It is now three years later, and there are many coaches that were for sale at that time and are still unsold.
I believe IT WORKS, but perhaps I will never know.
