Congrats, Flaco. I’ll miss reading your home purchasing adventures.
yeah... the buying part is done.
can i post the selling adventure here?
we emailed all buying parties (attorney, banker, agent, buyers) today reminding them of their multiple broken promises and past due CTC dates.. told them we need details today and firm closing date by cob tomorrow - on monday we will issue official 'close by date and put house back on the market.
we're certain the house will sell -- if not to these idiots, then to someone else -- the larger issue is the contractor is going to want to be paid.. he knows whats going on and will work with us..but his crew will need to get paid.. and we needed a portion of what we are clearing for that purpose. may need to become liquid quick soon
and we're done!
waiting for the wire to post.. otherwise.. all good.
move on sunday had a couple of iffy moments... movers couldnt' figure out how to get the queen mattress down the stairs (when we moved in, the russian movers jammed it up the stairs and damaged the wall).. they proposed jamming it down but wouldn't repair the wall.. as we scheduled closing for today... i said leave it (after they wasted 20mins discussing it amongst themselves).. ended up cutting it down with a circular saw.. and bending it down the stairs.... they also wasted another 20 minutes trying to jam a large shelving unit thru the deck door-- even started taking the deck door apart.. i saw them, told them to stop and in five minutes broke it down...but we moved in within the allotted time frame, nothing was broken or lost (yet).. so we moved in.
the sale.. finally got all our stuff out last night (movers only take boxes, tubs, bags).. turns out neither the boy nor the missus had done their due diligence.. so i busted my ass the last two days (while working) to get it all done.
met the cleaners at 6 this morning.. they were out by 9.. walkthrough at 11.. i met them for the keys...
two hours later we get an email from their attorney asking for $1500 credit at closing for unfinished paint and patching.. told them to fuck off (politely) had they closed as scheduled on the 11th or even the 19th.. they wouldn't have had an issue... took another hour of calls/emails.. but finally the buyers relented and said they were willing to write it off. we get to see them again on friday as we made deal to give them the new amana washer/dryer at our new place (we took our new and better samsung set w us).. and they are picking them up (same moving company).. they'll have fun hooking them up as the dryer is gas and ours was not (already had the wiring done here).. and the own restaurant in town.. so we'll see them again.
a lot of drama? not really .. i've left off a lot of crap. It was excruciating. two real estate transactions in my life.. the first one was great. no issues (lots of paperwork, all email now)... this one.. sucked.
on to the Home Repairs thread!
