Man, That Is Very Good

Jeesus Creeping GOD, this is the part I hate...

Got home from AL and Shannon's wedding (left around 8:00PM 'cause Allie was tired, and she heads off to work for 11PM) to find a flashing message light on the phone..could it be? Could it be..it was! A message from the realtor, to call him.

There was an offer on the house, and they were putting the expiry of the offer at 9pm..here it was, 8:30. I hate high pressure offers. Anyways, they offered low. We told our realtor to counter. He did. They came back, still too low. We came back with what we said was a pretty firm offer. They came back again, better, and I pretty much said we'll take it, rather than counter again just to get an extra $500..but our realtor wanted to do it on general principal, to have the last word, and they went for it.

Now, keep in mind, each step in this game from long distance meant getting a call from the realtor, discussing, hanging up, waiting by the phone while the realtor negotiates, and then he calls us again...repeat as necessary.

So, we sold for lower than we wanted, but it gets us the hell some closure and allows us to start looking for a home here. They have until the 7th to remove their financing conditions. And we agreed to October 14 possession. We must be insane.

Thanksgiving weekend will be more like "Thank God it's over" when we finish the move.

Assuming the offer doesn't fall through, but the buyers are supposedly pre-approved.

At least we're not doing this from Cuba, like last year.

I never want to move again.
