Real Estate Woes

So I have a new Theme Song: Miranda Lambert: Gunpowder and Lead... not because anybody has knocked me around or anything, just because I'm honestly in the mood to kick some ass. Why you ask? Well let me 'splain. I posted this yesterday on my other blog. You'll see my... irateness...


OMG! I am so frickin pissed! Okay, so I just got a call from the title company doing the paperwork for the sale of our house. They need an abstract title for out house (whatever that it, it's not my department) soon, because they need to finish the paperwork blah blah blah for my sale. Great! GRAND WONDERFUL! This means everything is going through. But here's the kicker. They're NOW telling me that they need it ASAP because the close date is January 4th... are you kidding me?
When we countered the very first offer we said we could NOT move until the END of January. I did not want to have to pack during the holidays and try to find a house before the end of January. So I'm thinking okay so they just have some improper paperwork or somesuch.... I get a call from my realtor, who says the title company tells them I have some concerns about my close date which is the 4th.... okay what part of I"m not moving until the end of January do you not get. I tell said real estate agent (grrrrr thats a nice name for them) that I spoke to the owner, of whom I had signed all of the counters, that the close date HAD to be the end of January. He wasn't happy that he had to "sell" that close date but I told him that was what he was getting paid for. Now Tom, my agent, is saying none of the paperwork I signed has the 30th close date on it.
This isn't the first time they've lost something we've said. Before, it was; I had asked if the offer was contingent on anything... oh no, don't worry, nothing is contingent on anything in this offer. Unless of course they can't get fianacing. Then after I have 3 kids screaming at me I trust that the agent who is representing ME is trustworthy, so I sign where he says sign and where he interpreted agent speak into blah blah blah. THEN They tell us there is a contingency on the inspection!!!!!! I'm so frickin pissed at this, I'm so ready for this stuff to be over. I'm going to going effing postal on that realty place. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
As you can see things are not going as well as we'd hoped. Today I'm somewhat calmer, but I'm screening my phone calls. After going ballistic on one of the realtors yesterday, then scaring small children with a look, I decided it was best. Hopefully things are going to be worked out. Tim is up in the cities for the rest of the week to hopefully find us a new cozy abode. By Cozy Abode I mean another piece of rubble that we'll make into something spectacular. Oh I love construction (insert eye roll here). It's a means to an end. This I know because I'll kill him if we do to many more. I've heard that if a marriage can survive a remodel, it can survive anything. Apparently I'm stuck with him forever. :D I guess I'm okay with that. HA!
