It's been awhile since I had a chance to post something or even visit, but with the Holiday's and getting ready to purchase a new house there's never really been any downtime!
Even the 360 and Wii aren't getting the attention and love they deserve.
I'll be out of the office tomorrow dealing with the house, but I definitely wanted to get this up. What I want to rant about today is a few things we are going through with this house we are getting ready to purchase.
First of all, our closing is supposed to happen on Monday January 7th. I received a phone call yesterday from the lender that the sellers and their agents are behind on getting documents to them and getting other items sorted out, so basically the chances of us closing on the 7th are close to nill.
What really makes it upsetting is that the lenders and buying agents are always hounding us to get them papers, sign things, meet with them, fax and email items back and forth, and be ready at a moments notice when they need something. So while we're busting our butts to do this for them all while we're at work, the other side (the sellers) are slacking off and not getting things done.
So basically you're doing everything you can to meet deadlines and settle on time but the sellers and their agents don't seem to be doing a damn thing. You would think that the lenders and agents would be hounding them as much as they were us.
And to add to it, we found a good contractor that is willing to rip up all of the old carpet and install new flooring throughout the house for a decent price, but the only problem is they need to start right after closing cause they are going on vacation for a month starting next weekend. So if our closing gets pushed back by even a few days we will have to go with other contractors that are more expensive or even Home depot.
So that's the story so far, it's just non stop on the phone, meeting with people, or signing papers
Hope everyone had a great New Years and an awesome holiday!
