Selling a House

House selling is the most stressful thing that you can do. It's right up there with planning a wedding.

After you finally accept an offer you have an inspection that the buyer does. Mind you that is nerve racking enough because you hope and pray that they do not find anything that will be a huge money fix. So inspection day comes along (five days after we signed a contract). My husband is cleaning and knocks out power to a few outlets. Yep it really happened. Thankfully we know an electrician and he was able to come over and fix it. Whew crisis averted! 

Friday comes and we have yet another crisis. Yep anything that can happen can and will. That should of been our sign as to how the day was going to go. We finally get a call from out attorney and he tells me that he know of two things that are wrong but doesn't know how bad or what the details are. Great! So I compose myself and call the realtor. She only knows pretty much what the attorney is saying because everyone is being pretty tight lipped on the other end. Plus we have to wait till after 4:30pm on a Friday. Something I don't get because I saw the other party leave my house by 6pm. Why nothing was finished and ready for a Friday morning/early afternoon is beyond me. Anyways we have to wait. Our little crisis is finally dealt with. We head out to dinner to try and take our minds off of everything that has happened in the past 24 hrs. About a little before 10pm we finally get the report. I open it and my mouth drops. Yeah really hoping that he threw a bunch of stuff out there hoping that an item or two would be taken care of. The stuff that he is asking for is beyond crazy and money consuming. We are talking almost 10,000! Who does that? Why would we replace something that is not broken and still works? So after calming down a lot we are picking from the expensive list and countering them. Unfortunately because this was given to us on a Friday night we have to wait till Monday to speak to our attorney. Ugh!

It is now Saturday and while we joked a little about the situation I still am not feeling confident on this deal. I am already freaking that when we do counter we won't hear anything till like two days later. we are under the gun of the buyers deadline not our own. So happy that they changed the closing date to a week later. Not feeling it and I really could use a sign that everything will be ok and will work out.

So stressful. *sigh*
