Today the realtor placed a sold sign on Bob's mom's home. We haven't closed yet; however, a deal has been reached and all agreements have been signed, sealed, and delivered. The inspection and appraisal was done last week. The family is completing some of the items that the inspector suggested...about $1500 worth of items. We fully anticipate that closing will be before the end of the month.
One of Bob's goals was to have the house sold and everything packed up before we depart for the winter. It is has been a chore, and it only was possible because of how hard Bob works at it. He has a way of manipulating and intimidating everyone, or as Bob would say, "he's a politician". So far, the process has been about six weeks. Our realtor emailed us last night to let us know that he just closed on his 176th home for 2009. He expects to reach over 200 by the end of the year. Truly amazing in this market and economy. Remember, Michigan has the highest unemployment rate in the country at 15.2%.
Besides working on this project, Bob gave a deposition two weeks ago and will testify in Federal Court tomorrow. He was returned to active duty...WORK!! Don't get excited he is just finishing a case he started in 2006. Bob will definitely be happy to have this week behind him. Then it will be back to the "house project". There is still a lot of packing to be done. Say a prayer and keep your fingers crossed that everything goes as planned.
It is so nice to cross things off the list as the days count down. Selling the house was a big one. I just wish you were coming straight to SMA.
ReplyDeleteBillie...you know how much we love SMA. I hope we won't be disappointed in Oaxaca. We will need to make some quick friends so we won't be alone for the holidays.
