House saga update

[zinniz]

The seller's realtor screwed up and didn't tell the seller to wait for my offer before responding to the one he had. We had our offer in at 4. He had to respond to the other offer by 5:00, but the seller's realtor didn't wait and so the seller accepted the other offer. Now they're all rather upset because my offer was better so I'm being put as a back-up contract. Who knows if something will go wrong with the first one, but if it does...I'm there.

The up-side of all this is I get more time to prepare my house for sale. No more frantic cleaning all evening :) I can just do one room or one closet and that'll be good nuff.

I'm feeling rather good about this. If nothing else, I'll have a house that's ready to sell if we come across any other really cool properties!

Just a hint...that we found helpful...

We've been doing some "New Year's Cleaning" and have found that a lot of schools have these yellow shed's for dropping off unwanted clothing for charity.

It's kind of nice for when you have all those clothes and want to get rid of them right that second instead of waiting for a Goodwill pickup.

I hope you get the house, I bet you'll be able to do some really cool stuff with it.

True..there are some of those nearby and that helps. But I also have a pile of random things that aren't clothing and need to go to more of a thrift store place than to a clothing distribution place. I seem to collect a lot of crap that I don't really have a need for.

I hope we get it too, but if not, something else will come along :)
