progress
We’re making progress on the house… sort of.
Tomorrow was supposed to be our closing day. We took the day off (so did the homeowners) so that we could attend and get it done! Too bad we are having problems with our underwriter and won’t be able to close until wednesday, thursday or friday!
Apparently this lady (the underwriter) has a reputation for being the most stubborn person ever. She keeps changing her mind on what documents are needed and can’t keep track of the ones that she already has. Because she is doing this, there was no physical way for us to get all the documents to her in time to close tomorrow.
We are bummed, the homeowners are upset and it’s all kind of a mess right now. I spent the entirety of my day (even while at work) working to find out what was still needed and getting that taken care of and sent in so that we could close before the end of the week (when we leave for hawaii).
To make things more complicated, kris will be gone in atlanta with her work from wednesday through friday…the tuesday closing worked perfectly until we were unable to close then. All of the sudden we had to get a power of attorney drafted so that i can sign for kristen when we close on wednesday (or whenever it may be). We get to wake up early tomorrow to have a notary witness us signing this contract, before kris goes to work.
Last i heard, we had all of the documents needed and we will be able to close on wednesday morning (at my work since i will be there). I will call our broker tomorrow morning to make sure there is nothing left.
I want to send out a special thanks to Shiloh for getting the 3rd copy of my verification of employment together for the lady; and thanks to my family in oregon… who graciously spent much of their time (on vacation) helping kris and i out.
It looks like we’ll actually have a house soon!
Kris and i have done a lot of planning when it comes to things we want to repair/upgrade, and where we are going to put everything. I’ll let her post info about that… considering it is what she does for a living and everything…
