::huge sigh of relief::
This has been such a roller coaster, but we finally closed. Here are some details for those interested:
From date of offer acceptance to closing= 2 months, 1 day. (We were supposed to close on May 4th, but because of a lie from the mortgage banker, we were delayed 30 days).
What about the junk the seller's left? (Previous post)
There was not much we could do. They weren't willing to pay anything, and they lived in Florida (we closed in TN), so they weren't willing to come get it either. We'll just have to throw the crap away.
What about the curtain rods they took? (PP)
Well, they had the realtor buy us these expensive rod brackets from Lowes... she brought them to closing. They're ugly, but expensive, so we are going to try and return them for something more suited to our taste.
How was closing?:
Closing went smoother than I ever expected. It was just me, H, our realtor, the Title company person, and the seller's realtor stopped by at the end. They explained each paper to us, we signed, done. It took 32 minutes from start to finish.
So now we're homeowners, and I'm so excited! I cannot wait to get over there tomorrow and paint my daughter's room while I wait for the comcast dude!
