Getting very busy!

Friday, April 23rd, 2004

Well, at least keeping really really busy helps pass the time while we wait to see if we will win the offer on the house….
…but this is a little overboard! I’ve been doing so many little things here and there, this and that. I think every client I’ve had in the last six […]

Next Thursday…

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

Well, that will be the day. When we know about the house. Our agent just called and told us that Thursday (the 29th) will be when the bank’s committee will meet to discuss the offers.
There are three other offers. So far.
But! Judy said she was surprised they told her this, but […]

The bid is in!

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

Well, after all the agony of waiting with our meat-head mortgage broker, things are finally going smoothly — we submitted a bid today! Very very exciting! Now there’s just that 7-10 day wait…. The house is owned by Bank One, which apparently is so unmanageable and has so full of red tape, […]

Some people can do their jobs!

Tuesday, April 20th, 2004

Our mortgage broker is still pissing around doing who knows what. He had some more questions for me today. A particularly dumb one. My school loans are, of course, on my credit report. His question was, “On your credit report, it looks like there are a lot of duplicates. Do […]

Oh, the anxiety!

Monday, April 19th, 2004

Boy today was stressful. I haven’t been stressed the entire duration of the house hunt — at all! Until this morning…. I called our mortgage broker this morning, and the meathead still hadn’t gotten anything. He started talking about how much of a problem it was that we didn’t have our […]

Houses from Space

Sunday, April 18th, 2004

Piiiiigs Frooooommmm Spaaaaaaaaccccee…..
Well, houses at least. I found a fairly decent resolution image of 87th street from space. It was luck that it didn’t take me forever! The page I found showed the entire Johnson County area, with a list of thirty or so different submaps with names like “2000017151604THC”. […]

Falling in love with a weirdo

Saturday, April 17th, 2004

We found a house today that we all like — Erin and I really love it, and Jen is favoring it about evenly with our other top choice.
The funny thing, when I first came across the house in a real-estate search, I laughed out loud, and then sent a link to Jen as a joke. […]
