Power, Corruption, and Lies




Power corruption and lies is what sums up the past few weeks as we try to buy a house. After an "accepted offer" we got word that the home was not sell able in the price range it was listed for. The listing agent has been no help either. Both Mark and I finally told her "MOVE OVER, THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN." There is currently an unfavorable letter in the works that will be sent via certified mail to the president of the real estate company representing the listing agent. Mark has taken over working with the bank who technically owns the house, and we are working on a final deal. Then the listing agent had the audacity to ask us today, Saturday, if we wouldn't mind moving the closing to November 9 because it is going to be a lot of work for her to close as scheduled. YES I DO MIND!!! AND I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS, WE WILL BE SLEEPING THERE ON FRIDAY!!!! SO GET TO WORK!!

We would love all our friends and family to stop by our new house after next Friday, if all goes well. We can go into all the gooey details of this real estate game that has gone into overtime. We will whip up some margaritas on the Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville Margarita machine, and start up a pot of my queso dip. Look forward to seeing you all.

I'll leave you with a few pics of what may be our new house. Check out the size of that laundry room! And while the master bed and bath are still pink, the owners did paint the yellow family room and kitchen white.
