Dang The Universe! After getting our hopes up, with such a quick contract on Bargain House, The Universe is now toying with our semi-livelihood. Remember the "surprise" last-minute appraisal that was scheduled by The Buyer's financial institution on Good Friday? It appears to have become a monkey wrench tossed into this sale.
Saturday evening, I quizzed Hick on his latest communications with Realtor Guy.
"Are we still having the closing on Monday? We kind of need to know. It affects three of us. And we can't just pop in at the last minute. It's a 30-minute drive. Longer, because we have to pick up The Pony. I need to know, so I can plan when to take my morning medicine."
"I don't know Val. I sent him a text on Friday, and I still haven't heard anything back. I'll send him one tonight. But with tomorrow being Easter, I doubt I'll hear from him."
So what do we do? Plan our day like we're going to a closing at 1:00? Or go about our regular business, assuming that it will be rescheduled? Or maybe the deal will fall through because of the appraisal? Even though Realtor Guy had told us The Buyer was approved for a loan $20,000 more than our contract amount.
Sunday at 11:04, I got a text from Hick at his SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5).
"Val i got a message from Realtor Guy he says he has not heard anything but we are most likely not closing tomorrow"
Well then. I will go about my normal business of doing nothing most of the day. If the closing for some reason mysteriously gets the go-ahead, that title company will just have to wait to give us a check!
Oh bother! Hopefully it closes soon, but this buyer is just weird. Did they forget the two days are still considered holidays? It is odd, I am at work today - my boss says today is not a real holiday but the hospital is half closed - only emergency and some clinics remain open!
ReplyDeleteMonday is not really a holiday here, but Good Friday is a day off for many businesses. Like Hick's glass guy, heh, heh! Who IS working today, as well as our hospital and clinics.
DeleteHospital half closed??? I'll have to check but I am pretty sure that wouldn't happen here.
DeleteYesterday was kinda a holiday for banks, schools and govt offices. It's a confusing day for me!
DeleteI really hate how they are all keeping you in limbo on this deal.
ReplyDeleteYes. How many more monkey wrenches can The Universe launch???
DeleteSo frustrating, closings make my skin crawl! My favorite closing was the house we bought in Albany Georgia. I was working and our realtor brought the papers that needed my signature to the hospital and I signed them on an ER stretcher on the loading dock while I waited for an ambulance coming in.
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of realtor we need!
