Christmas Eve is fast approaching and with it the end of the year. The most stressful time of the year is now also beginning for Santa Claus. But it's not just the Christmas season that seems to have been difficult for the kindly old man in the red hat. Santa is slowly getting to the age where his bones don't quite want to do what he would like them to. He even had to find a new home.
Dear Santa, how have you been this year?
It could have been better. I fell off my sled while training my reindeer and my hip just hasn't been the same since. I can no longer easily climb the stairs to my cozy living room. That's why I've decided to move to a smaller house.
That sounds exciting. How did you manage it on your own? Your time must be short.
I was actually planning to sell my old property all by myself. But between reading wish lists, making toys and training reindeer, I simply didn't have the time. I also didn't want a bunch of unannounced visitors in my house. My toy-making elf then recommended an estate agent, who I asked for help.
A broker at the North Pole? How could he help?
The estate agent did all the work for me. When he valued my house and told me the selling price, I almost fell out of my rocking chair. I had no idea how much a house at the North Pole was worth. He then took photos and drew up an exposé. I guess you need this to be able to market a property. In the end, the estate agent found three suitable potential buyers. One of them decided to buy my house. It all went very quickly.
That really sounds like a professional estate agent with an excellent knowledge of the market. Where do you live now?
I opted for a small, barrier-free house. It's ideal for living in old age. The garden is also much smaller now and therefore easier to maintain. At the end of the sale, I even had enough money left over to buy a new, comfortable seat for my sledge. A really modern one with a GPS and a cocoa holder. So now it's time to start handing out presents.
Thank you dear Santa Claus for taking the time!
