Don went yesterday to visit the house we were interested in. He said that it is even nicer than the pictures we had seen on-line. He said that the views are spectacular. The place is spotless and move-in ready. When he saw a dinghy in the front yard--in the middle of the desert!--he figured that the place was made for us! We have made an offer. Now, we are eagerly waiting for the real estate agent to let us know if the owner accepts it..
One more hoop to jump through. Last night, our realtor (who is not the listing agent) sent Don all 15 pages of the purchase contract, to forward them to me for my signature/initials on every page. I printed all of them, then signed all of them, then scanned each page, then converted each one to a PDF file, THEN zipped them so I could email them back to Don, for him to sign/initial--and then take to our realtor, for her to scan and email to the listing agent. (WHEW!). Now, this morning, our realtor said that the buyer's realtor (i.e. the listing agent) wants us to use the contract that HE has drawn up. Yikes! Now we have to do it all again! Don says that the listing agent must not be very experienced at these things, since this is very out-of-the-ordinary. Oh, and did I mention that I had to make an emergency run to CVS last night to buy printer ink, since there was not enough in my printer to print out the pages! That's OK. It will still happen. I am learning patience. :)
ReplyDeleteAs it turned out, the sellers accepted the original contract so there was no need to resend everything. It was just a missed communication. This made life a lot easier! No more hoops! I went to the escrow agent with the Realtor and everything is set for a closing on October 5th!!
