It's Thursday right, I'm not really expecting an update today. Just working my way through some work phone calls and messages and decide I should check our personal e-mail. There I find staring at me a time sensitive e-mail requesting us to re-sign some of the original documents.
Why re-sign them you ask? I sure called and asked, because it wasn't clear to me at first. This is at the banks request and they wanted the seller to have the contract in her name instead of in the name of the trust she has. Since I'm not privy to her personal fiances/investments I'm not sure why they have asked her to do this. We're game, especially since things are moving much more efficiently this go round.
The e-mail requesting this came through around 9:30am but I didn't notice it until closer to 10:30am. This gave me 1.5hrs to track down Toby at work get him to sign, scan and e-mail it back to me so I could sign and fax to the Realtor. Everything went smoothly until I had to fax. I can't figure out why our fax machine has trouble faxing to the realtor's office, maybe it's a sign (I hope not). I use it for work on a regular basis and no ones complained but what can I do, I faxed it until they got a good copy. This took me to 11:30am and everything had to be in by noon. Eek!
Everything got in though and we got back a full copy for our records. We did have to make a few corrections to the contract though. The seller's agent failed to include a few things that were on the original copy (such as the pool fence, equipment and heater) and then they had check off that the seller could accept back up offers! Which was not in our original copy. That got rectified pretty quickly. We haven't waited all this time to have someone else come in with another off, no way!
What's driving me crazy is that I'm finally getting a little tired of waiting. We are almost at the 9 month mark and it appears that my dreams of going to Disney this calendar year are fading. Our Realtor assures me that we're not the only ones waiting like this but at least there is stuff going on with the file at the banks. I will take this as a positive. A watched pot never boils and it seems that a short sale never sells. Oh well, we've waited this long. Nothing else that we've liked has come up and I don't think I'd jump to a different house that was also a short sale. Another house like the one we're waiting for that is a regular listing has a price over fifty thousand more than our offer. Crazy, things seem to be picking up as the inventory shrinks.
For now I think I'll continue crossing my fingers and try to focus on some other things on my "to do" list. Hmmm, maybe I should start my Christmas shopping! Have a great day!
