Done deal
Pending escrow, we've got a house!
I know I haven't posted about it much, but that's because it has been BEYOND stressful, including some nasty negotiations, 7 counteroffers, and a lot of threats to walk away from the deal.
Here's hoping the rest of the deal goes smoother than the contract negotiations.
Escrow opens tomorrow!
I had a realtor tell me once that its a good deal when everyone thinks they got screwed. The seller thinks they sold too low, the buyer thinks they paid too much. I'd think it would be if everyone was happy, but... eh, that's the flip side.
Congrats on the house!

Posted by: wRitErsbLock at April 26, 2007 05:22 AMI'm sorry you had such a horrid time of it. You know the old show business saying... bad dress rehearsal, great performance. Let's hope the same holds true here... bad negotiations, great move in.

Once you get in there and put your mark on the place, I'm sure you will love it!
Posted by: Phoenix at April 26, 2007 12:36 PMNow that I've gotten into Real Estate, I know how stressful those situations can be. What you need is a professional agent to take the pressure off, a reliable lending company to not screw things up, and a decent sized bottle of gin to have fun through it all. ;^)
Oh yeah... CONGRATS!
Posted by: Paladin at April 26, 2007 01:45 PMYay! I was getting tired of walking around with all my fingers and toes crossed. (Although I'll keep them crossed a little longer if you think it will help!)
Congratulations!
