&#160;
We are now the proud owners of a home!
&#160;
Closing today was pretty uneventful. We did our good cop/bad cop routine, made sure transfer taxes were split 50/50, and that we weren&#8217;t paying for homeowners insurance through escrow, and tried to combat the incredibly high property taxes (we will have to go to [...]]]></description>

&#160;
Tomorrow&#8217;s the big day. Closing on our new house. It has been a challenging process dealing with our formidable sellers. Believe me, it&#8217;s been hard removing them from the grip on their home. It looks like we finally have everything ironed out. Apparently, we weren&#8217;t the only ones who found them difficult.

&#160;
Closing one week from today. There has been no real response to our last exchange regarding contractual items. Except for a back and forth between realtors on estimation for cost of repairs. Hmmm. In a waiting pattern right now, walking comfortably in circles like cows.

But, moving forward we have lots to do. [...]]]></description>

Push back. Yeah, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m calling it. Let&#8217;s see, so much going on, how to jump in&#8230; Home inspections.

Well, there wasn&#8217;t anything major, a few things that needed to be fixed, circa 1970 washing machine that leaks, sump pump that doesn&#8217;t work, a baffle that won&#8217;t close [...]]]></description>
