dbattman 0 #1 October 25, 2006 Finally! After 5 months, two contracts, four termite letters, six closing dates, multiple airline flight changes to make said closings, I don't know how many banks, and enough faxes to circle the globe I have finally closed! So, we are partying hard here at the Roswell Courtyard by Marriott! Hey buddy- tilt me another styrofoam coffee cup of wine from the box. Why yes I would like another piece of Publix sushi from the snack tray. Would you mind checking if the OJ on the windowsill is cold yet? Those screwdrivers will just hit the spot. I just made oodles of money- hell I could quit my job for, like, a whole three months! Whoo hoo! I had the silliest conversation with the insurance company after closing today. I had her giggling like crazy at the end. What do you mean I need an actual address to insure a car? Can I use slot #102 at the Hartsfield Parking Spot as an address? No? Well, how about a winnie parked in a field off 278? No? Hey turn up the 19" color TV! Whee! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #2 October 25, 2006 Lucky you. Mine has been on the market for six months QuoteI had the silliest conversation with the insurance company after closing today. I had her giggling like crazy at the end. What do you mean I need an actual address to insure a car? Can I use slot #102 at the Hartsfield Parking Spot as an address? No? Well, how about a winnie parked in a field off 278? No? Well once you figure it out, let me know. Once I sell my house I'll be in an RV without an actual address.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

JENNR8R 0 #4 October 25, 2006 Congratulations... But I wonder if you were this excited when you bought the house? If so, what happened to make you want to get rid of it so badly?What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

squirrel 0 #6 October 25, 2006 I lived on my boat for 5 years and worked on the road on contracts...no address. I used my parents, and a friends business address as "home." It was great...I never, ever, got mail. All bills where online... simplify...simplify ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

dbattman 0 #7 October 25, 2006 Well, that was my first stop after leaving and they didn't handcuff me on the spot. But you never know- could've been a front for a 419 operation. Maybe that's why they asked me to wire the balance to their sick aunt for her toenail transplant. Whee! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #11 October 25, 2006 Yup, hating you again, and again. The market can't stay like it is. But with us heading into winter, I don't think I'll be selling the house now till spring And damn if there aren't all kinds of RV special sales happening right now! Come spring, the RV prices will go upMay your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

dbattman 0 #16 October 25, 2006 How the hell do you put up with all the BS? Geez- It was three hours before closing on the second contract and I get an email from the closing attorney that the bank has pulled out. Found out the buyer didn't have a green card. Suddenly I found myself at Taco Mac. How did I get here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squirrel 0 #17 October 25, 2006 it is stressfull...basically i have had to tell buyers to fuck off and get lost...with no back up buyers...but...so far i have been able to stick to my guns. the market is slow now though...one this last house i am building, i will make 1/2 as much as the last one, and this one is in a better location, and is nicer. but, what the hell...push on! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

ypelchat 0 #18 October 25, 2006 Good! I put my house up for sale, about a month ago. Hopefully it'll sell quickly. Yves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbattman 0 #19 October 25, 2006 I think I just caught the tail end. I spent so much time painting and primping and cleaning and hauling logs and twigs and yadda yadda yadda. The guy next door had his on the market in Feb and was gone in just over a month from sign to moving truck. I listed mine Memorial day weekend. Note to self- next time list first and keep fixing up while it's listed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
