House Drama

We are 14 days away from closing on our house, and we won't fully believe it is going to happen until the papers are signed and we hand over the keys!

Today was the last day the buyer had to request improvements be made based on the findings of the inspection...no improvements were requested.... interesting...

Our paper guy (not realtor since we FSBOed) told us that the title company told him that our buyer just had a $25,000 settlement against him from a credit card company...since he stopped making payments. However, his realtor insists his mortgage company knew about this and is unconcerned... Like we said, we'll believe this once all paperwork is signed and money has exchanged hands!

We continue to make plans to move into the rental house. We've looked at several ovens and fridges on craigslist (need them for the rental house). Tonight we went to one guy's house who had both a fridge and oven for sale that he told us was 2 years old....um...at a zero behind that...he'd be lucky if they were 20 years old~! Too bad too because he'd deliver them for free!! So we continue to hunt for appliances and houses and pack boxes and cross fingers that this deal is really going to happen! : )

It sounds like things are going smoothly on your end. Be very thankful you're not dealing with the drama we've been through with our house! However, we're staying positive that all will work out in the end. We have someone coming to look today and have replenished the info box, so people are looking!
